No point in hypotheticals - I could be the contrarian and say that ROR would only resign with Calgary for the 6.5 qualifier and have as much of a chance of being right as your guess.
This is a guy that was willing to play out the season in the KHL when Colorado didnt flash him the cash he wanted - zero reason to believe he is the altruistic sort and would sign for less than the QO barring a monstrous 15 year contract (which certain GMs have been known to offer... But I digress)
