Ranheim became a hell of a 3rd/4th liner though. He was one of those bottom six guys that were also important players. He knew he had to adapt and was able to. Kind of like Stephane Yelle, another guy that lit it up in junior and looked like an offensive player in the AHL, but adapted to a bottom 6 roll in the NHL. To say he was "only" a 3rd or 4th line player really downplays how good he actually was in that role.
