I think Ryan is essentially the 3rd/4th line centre, depending on where you slot Jankowski. Which puts his minutes around 8 to 10ish.

I think the main reason he was signed was for situational minutes. PP, PK. D zone faceoffs on his strong side etc. Which would probably his minutes in the 12 to 13 ish range on some nights.

Basically the 4th line centre on paper, but much more than just that.
