It is a question (or should be) of which combination makes for the best lineup?
If Bennett is effective in that spot, between Lucic and Dube, and Ryan is effective anywhere, including the 4th line spot, then the lineup is deeper and stronger that way.
It isn't about either one of them, it's about winning playoff games.

It's not just about getting the combinations right, it's also about how to distribute ice-time. The coaches are probably going to want Ryan on the ice for 14/15 mins per game, whereas they definitely do not want Rinaldo, Jankowski or Reider logging more than 10-12 (especially not Rinaldo).
