Good post. The only part I sort of disagree with is the comment about Ryan. He's a UFA after this season and overall I think it was a solid signing by BT. Yes, he's a 4th liner but he's good in that role and is the best faceoff guy by quite a margin on the team. I have zero problem if they trade him and his contract away this season if it makes sense, but if he sticks around for the rest of this year I don't think it's a big deal, he'll be replaced next season. The wingers he plays with are the bigger question marks for this season, as you've already mentioned.
