Really odd logic.
Either a move makes you better, or it doesn't. Not making any moves because it doesn't seem like the best possible move is really odd and terrible logic.

I didn't say not to make any moves, but I don't think they should have made this one. This clearly shows they're in the "win now" mode, they want a #1 center to play with Iggy. I don't think ROR is worth this much and I don't think he's going to be a successful #1 center in this league. The moves I would have made would be to get more first round picks and develop a team, not give away first round picks in hopes that our current team can maybe make 8th place and hope every other team craps the bed and we all of suddent become good.
I am all for changes with this team, they aren't good and changes have to be made. Adding a (IMO) over-hyped player to a below average team isn't going to make them a good team and giving up part of the future, especially in a deep draft, is a step in the wrong direction.
