What's the take on this guy? I hear he's a decent defensive prospect but I don't know too much about him. Any info on him would be great. Thanks.

Kings drafted him in the 3rd round I think.

Kings second round pick in 2006.

Ryan's skating and poise impresses me the most. He just glides in any direction with minimal effort, and makes good choices with the puck when his skating gets him into an open position. That's where a lot of this talk about being a potential offensive force come from- he certainly has the tools to run a powerplay, but so far he has only consistently made use of them in his own end.

There was a bit of a discussion on the QMJHL board about him as well: http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=328933
