If the team gets a top pick that is a good thing long term, and it lets them get a good look at Ramo this season and decide if they go with him next year or if they need to try and bring in someone else.
Can Kipper bring back a center? Can he bring back a first? If so that first + could be used to bring in RoR? I guess it depends on what the market is for Kipper at this stage. A poor team looking to hit the cap floor could be interested like Florida. Kipper for Weiss + conditional 2nd (if he doesn't re-sign)?

That would take a complete 180 from what the team has said about winning and going for 8th every year. If they decide they are okay with not competing for play-offs every year then I think you can look at moving Kipper but they haven't done that yet.
I would prefer more of a youth package back for Kipper than a UFA and 2nd round pick because moving out Kipper and bringing back Weiss seems like fixing one problem while creating a new one. No real need for Weiss on a Kipper-less Flames.
