JOAKIM RYAN - Defenseman - 26 - $.725MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 8/20/19
Joakim Ryan is a mobile defenseman who has value in transition but not really anywhere else. Ryan is undersized, but being undersized is what gives him the above-average speed he needs to move the puck. Ryan doesn't have incredible puck skills, but he's safe with the puck on his stick and won't be a turnover machine. Ryan can be an asset with zone entries and zone exits, and is judicious about joining the rush. His defensive zone positional awareness needs work, and he's a neutral contributor defensively because he's a minus along the boards and fighting for pucks but a plus with the puck on his stick exiting the zone, and offensively he's a slight plus thanks to his puck moving. He won't score very much, but he brings speed and energy from the back end, making him a fine puck-moving #7.
