RFA Watch: Ryan O'Byrne - Let's Get Physical
June 6th 2008 22:10
With a 6'6'' frame and 228 lbs, Ryan O'Byrne is exactly what the Canadiens need to add some size to their defensive corps. His presence on the roster takes some pressure off Mike Komisarek who has had to assume the role of tough guy with a strong physical play while also being the second half of the Habs' first defensive pairing. If Ryan O'Byrne brings some nastiness to his play, Komo won't have to come to his teammates' defense all the time. Instead, the Canadiens will be able to rely on Rhino to drop the gloves when needed. O'Byrne has already shown off his pugilistic skills in Florida where he broke his thumb during a fight. Paired with veteran Roman Hamrlik, O'Byrne shows very promising signs for the future and is definitely in Gainey's plans.
