I think Moon has put it succinctly.
And it has been one good year. Has he been developing? Absolutely. Would I trade what would have been a top 10 pick for RoR? No way.
He is not a difference maker, an elite talent. He's a number 2 C.
Calgary has a chance to get an elite player in the top 5 as it stands, and getting that is much better than being a 9th place team and losing our draft picks.
This team does lack any impact players. That's why you keep your picks.
We'll see how RoR turns out...but 6.5 qualifying offer is way to rich for a number 2 center and losing the first and 3rd picks in one of the most talented drafts since the Phaneuf year would be awful for this franchise
