"Ryan brings in so many dimensions that we just couldn't pass by," remarked Timberwolves GM Blake Wendt. "Even at 35, he's still got it. Skates like the wind, plays smart, is excellent on face-offs, blocks shots and is just an all-around team player. His veteran leadership will be welcomed by our club and the city he grew up in."
