Yet in last years playoffs Ryan was not fast enough to keep up with the Av's nor tough enough to slow them down... Bennett was.
Ryan's highlight in his 5 career playoff games that he dominate the Neutral zone faceoff dot winning 12 of 18.
As a top 3 C Ryan will be going up against Scheifele or Eakin or Lowry.
If you don't like Bennett as a C then there is a case for the Flames to Go with Monahan, Lindholm and Backlund.
Eakin has 46 career playoff games as a 2/3 C and is not easy to play against having shown gritty characteristics similar to Bennett in the playoffs.
