That was because of Ryan. He also made the 4th line a decent thing to watch when we’d ice freaking Rinaldo with him.
If anyone in the top 9 goes now next season, it would be nice to just have Ryan slot right in. He’s our new Swiss Army knife needed when an injury or player falters.

Ryan is good for what he is and his contract is great for his production, but I think the worry is that he'll produce less on the 4th line, which might make him expensive.
Solid value though. If you don't need to trade him for cap reasons, there's zero reason to trade him.
