And it's not just about time, but opportunity. Jeff Skinner scored 37 goals in 2017. In 2018, Ryan almost exclusively played with him. Peters really liked him in that offensive, top six role. Why think he would behave any different today?...

Why? Because the Flames's group of forwards is much more skilled and deeper than anything Peters had to work with in Carolina. Your point about Jankowski and Bennett is valid, but I think Ryan will not get the same opportunities in Calgary simply by virtue of who else is ahead of him on the depth chart.
