ROR fills our most glaring need NOW. Not in 2 or 3 years...NOW.
Outside of the top 3 or 4 players, nothing is guaranteed from drafting. Even if you do get a good player, it often takes several years to get them to the point that ROR is at right now. The Flames aren't even guaranteed to draft top 5 (there are several teams in the East that are likely to finish below the Flames point wise).
Plus, you get a player like that to help this team get into the playoffs this year and it's an ok move... You get him to help this team into the playoffs for the next 5 or 6 years and it's a GREAT move.
Possible lineup (when Backlund returns)
Tanguay-ROR-Iginla
Glencross-Stajan-Cammalleri
Hudler-Backlund-Stempniak
Baertschi-Cervenka-Jackman
Comeau/Begin
