If he signs a long term deal after this one around the 4.5-5M range I think that is where he belongs then this is a good trade. Anything more than that and I don't think he will have the offense to justify the contract (I hope he proves me wrong, be it on the Avalanche or on the Flames)

I'd say his upside is a bit ahead of Kesler who was a bit of a late bloomer, ROR development track has been very quick and he's still very young.
