Not to get too far OT, but I agree with your point about Ryan being able to play up the lineup when needed. I know a team has to be careful about allocating too much salary to the 4th line, but if you are going to do that, I'd rather it be at center than on the wings. That center depth invariable becomes very valuable throughout the year. Ryan reinforced that for me this past season.
I confess to not knowing much at all about Nordstrom, but welcome to the Flames! I am now a fan. There's always a spot on the team for a heart and hustle guy who can kill penalties.
