His much better player than Bennett, Leivo or whoever else that played with Johnny and Monny.

Too much dead weight like this is exactly why the Flames are now what they are
Leivo, Simon, Ryan, Bennett, Nordstrom, Richie, Rinaldo
7 forwards that do nothing for the team more often than not, plus Monahan who might have the worst compete level of the whole lot of bums above. Somehow half of them are actually in contention to play on the teams top line on any given night as well! Bravo BT for assembling such a serious contender in year 7 of your tenure....
In Ryan we're talking about a 4th line player on any decent, playoff calibre team. At his cap hit he should be a heck of a lot more than what he is too. You can maybe afford to have 2 of these guys on the roster, but certainly not more than half your forwards made up of garbage bin talent like this.
