***shudder***
Wonder if the Avs regret not taking the picks. |
They should considering they are tanking worse than the Flames and are now saddled with paying ROR $$$ this season and next. I imagine they are going to try and trade Stastny but as we are seeing teams simply aren't going to give up more than a pick and prospects for a guy for a player making $5+ million a season.
I personally feel that like with the Brad Richards contract offer that the Flames dodged another bullet on this one although ROR would have been likely a decent player as you can see by the Avs record since he came back he's not a difference maker. I'm really hoping that Feaster starts to learn from these mistakes as he may not get lucky with the next one.
