Hey there! I just read about the Calgary Flames potentially claiming Derek Ryan off waivers from the Oilers, and I have to say, it makes a lot of sense for them. The Flames are definitely in need of some depth down the middle, especially with their struggles in the faceoff circle and on the penalty kill.
Ryan may not be the player he once was, but his experience and faceoff skills could be a game-changer for the Flames. Winning 60.3% of his draws this season is impressive, and that alone could help stabilize their fourth line. Plus, having a right-shot center is crucial for their lineup, especially since they seem to be lacking in that department.
I understand the hesitation among fans about trading for a rental, but claiming Ryan for free could be a low-risk, high-reward move. If he can contribute even a little bit, it could make a difference as they push for a playoff spot. What do you think? Do you see Ryan fitting in well with the Flames?
