I am very high on him, Ryan is one of the most complete prospects coming into the 2005 draft.
In terms of skill, he's not up there with the Crosby's and Brules obviosly, but he's right up there with the 2nd tier players in 05 like Ryan, Zagrapan, Pouliot ect.
His numbers aren't booming yet like Bobby Ryan, and I for one have Bobby Ryan ranked higher then him Ryan is #4 with O'Marra at #6 but he'll likely be just inside the top 10 once the draft goes down.
Ryan has the size, he's about 6-2 200.. He uses that size extremely well. He's a force in the corners and in front of the net and plays with alot of jam and gets in front of peoples faces. He's extremely pasionate about the game and plays hard as any body. His skating is knocked by some but IMO it's a strength, He has tremendous force behind each stride and he really moves but he doesnt look like he's trying very hard, but he is fast. He's also a pure sniper, with an amazing shot that's very accurate. He does everything well and defensively works hard, and should be commended for his backchecking. He might not be a flashy player, but this guy has excellent finishing ability, and he uses his strengths extremely well and should be a 1st line winger. I like him alot!
