wjag Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Ryan was a great 4th line player. Too bad he couldn't hit a barn with a puck let alone a goal mouth. I was hoping he'd stick around and hone his craft.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping he'd stick around and hone his craft.. "great"? :huh: Really? The kid had the basic skills and would have helped the Pirates this season but I never thought of him as having any significance or impact on the Sabres success.

Doohickie Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I think he meant "great" as in, "he's a great kid", not "as good as Wayne Gretzky" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw16511 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Good riddens. I could never get myself to like him as a player. I guess I was always bitter he's who we got for Stu Barnes. Talk about an epic salary dump back at the 02-03 trade deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 28 it's pretty much "what you see is what you get." Not much more developing we could expect from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two or less Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I liked him. I think he played over his welcome though, not in just Buffalo, but NHL. I watched several games of his in the AHL, and i don't think he was truly NHL quality. But when he arrived, he always gave a honest effort and was doing the little things. At first, thats all cool, but after a while, you need to bring more to the team. He stopped improving. I don't think he was great in any means, i think he was average, i do think he was a great Sabre when he was here, as in, always worked hard, good attitude, and never took a night off, and i think thats what Buffalo Sabres hockey is all about. He just lacked alot of skills. He has NO hands. He had chances, but couldn't finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you got your wish. Kalinin's gone, and now Ryan. Maybe we'll finally be able to wake up from our slumber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuffRuff Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Couple things with Ryan. He was pretty good. But that's as good as he's gonna be. He hasn't gotten better year over year, and the one part of his game that really bugged me is the fact that he's not strong on his skates. He was ineffective on the wall, and fell down more often than he put a puck on the net. Nice speed, but not skilled enough. He'll do well with the Ruskies. That league is THIN.

SabresFan526 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Don't worry, Mancari will soon take over that role. You think he'll make the team this year? I think he'll clear waivers with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 You think he'll make the team this year? I think he'll clear waivers with no problems. He'll be just like Ryan after he became waiver eligible. He'll clear with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but fringe posters will swoop in and declare the Sabres are trading Max, Kotalik and Mancari for Bouwmeester rather than Max, Kotalik and Mike Ryan.
