Sure, but the problem is Ryan is rather offensively unskilled compared to many of the Flames players, and not just the 'big 4'. Many offensive plays die on his stick in many games and he often commits more glaringly bad giveaways in the offensive zone than many other Flames. It's great that he's really, really good defensively but I see most of the forwards on this team with more offensive talent, or more offensive potential than Ryan.
That's why he still shouldn't be playing anymore than 4th line minutes + PK time. Like I say, Basically Stajan's role from last year. Shouldn't be anything wrong with that.
