Ribs needs to work harder and earn more ice time. I still think at season's end he will be amongst the top four Habs in points.
Part of the problem is playing with Dags and Ryder who are not strong defensively.
Ryder is -2/ Dags -3 afer two games. Get rid of Dags for maybe a Bulis and watch Ribs and Ryder tear up the score sheet while they have more ice freedom. I still think Ribs is a gifted play maker and Dags isn't getting himself open for him like Ryder can.
I also think he has to get bigger and stronger - the man's a stringbean. He should hit the weights and get strength excercises going. He gets pushed around too easily.
