I think Ryan move is partially linked to maximizing use of the taxi squad for cap purposes. Early on we have a 5 day break where we can get significant savings by having Ryan on the taxi squad. Hailey over at the Athletic had an article with different players but same idea - https://theathletic.com/2311661/2021...ad-salary-cap/

Ryan isn't getting claimed at his salary so this is a smart move by the flames, especially if they are auditioning Pelletier or someone else at the start of the season. For Bennett fans, this has to be a win. Maybe also Nordstrom as a PKer. Very short on RH shots though, especially centers.
