Derek Ryan planned on being a tweener this season, going back and forth between the Carolina Hurricanes and Charlotte Checkers as needed. Then the Canes faltered to start the season, and Ryan was called up in November, never to return to the AHL.
After playing in just six games in the 2015-16 season, Ryan took a big step forward during the 2016-17 campaign.
