You may recall Ryan White from such disgusting headshots as this one.

Not that I'm aware...4th liner type, grinder, physical

EDIT

http://www.habseyesonthep...e-profile-habs/in/5706794

White was relegated to a fourth line role, meaning he started 46.8% of his shifts in the defensive zone. No other member of the 2013-14 Canadiens faced more defensive zone starts. Despite this tough assignment, White managed to put up a reasonable offensive production, to the tune of two goals and four assists. Not exactly earth shattering numbers, however considering his deployment and offensive expectations going into the season White's production could be seen as decent.

Unfortunately for White, general manager Marc Bergevin did not tender him a qualifying offer, deciding instead to rely on a gluttony of available bottom-six players that possess a higher upside. His greatest assets, hustle and relentless effort, were not enough to convince Bergevin to extend the feisty forward, and I can't say I disagree with the decison. White possesses little to no offensive upside, a history of discipline issues, and an all-around lack of skill.

White did perform admirably on the penalty kill, however with the addition of Manny Malhotra, and the always impressive short-handed play of Lars Eller and Tomas Plekanec, the Habs could definitely afford to let him walk.

The Flyers have publicly said they want to do a better job at puck possession and get more disciplined, yet just about every move they have made this summer is a step back in one or both of those areas.

I could see white being signed as a Phantom, though...it is a two way deal

He's RH and is decent on FO's... he's not terrible defensively, either.

But yeah... him and Stortini... real head scratcher signings.
