I think handedness is a lot more important for forwards than defencemen, especially on the pp which is what we’re talking about. Tbh it’s not like any of the other options are better in that role. We’re not comparing Ryan to the top five but to other players in the bottom 7. The one possibility is Jankowski, but like Bingo has said the eye test and stat test shows him as a guy who easily gets hemmed in his zone. I don’t think he is going to be much of an improvement there. Czarnik was supposed to be the offensively gifted rh specialist to play the PP, but he’s so weak off the puck that he keeps getting benched.
