Solid take on a Ryan article
I like Ryan, I don't see him as a liability like so many others do on here, I think he plays positionally well, he gets into the board battles, he's good with the game pace. Sure he's not a top tier player but I don't get the feeling that there's going to be a turnover play when he's in possession like our former throw in vets. I also think he's a huge reason we are top 5 in faceoff % in the league. He has 208 FO wins (of 360 taken) this year so far, good for 4th on the team by not a huge margin when you look at the regular FO takers. We were whining on here for years to have someone who's a FO specialist, possession off the draw is important, and now we have one who is also a decent bottom 6 player.
