Just want to put in a word of caution. Froese had a good game but he has 17 career points and hasn't been in the league in three years.
Ryan's past four seasons have seen him score 29 (in 69 games), 38, 38, and 29 (in 67).
There's a much more substantial body of work showing Ryan as being a very effective third-line centre. Froese probably isn't a consistent NHLer. Things can obviously change—just look at Ryan as an example—but I'm not optimistic.
