I just saw this now and joy fell over me. I'm not really exagerating. This would solve so many issues that have been bothering me.
The Flames so badly need a centre. Even if ROR won't be a top line guy he is much needed here. Also the way that things seem to work lately with these guys, Calgary would have just missed the playoffs again. This means they would have picked out of the top 5 or so and thus would probably not end up with a franchise type player in the draft. Now, ROR may not be that franchise guy either but he is a semi known talent and he fills one of the holes desperately needing to be filled around here.
Love it. Love it. Having said that, if I'm Colorado I match and trade. Preferabally outside of the conference.
