ROR is a good player but he's also playing with a very talented cast in Colorado and that won't be the case in Calgary where you would see his production nose dive. I personally believe he's not going to be an elite center but more of a good one and the Flames are likely going to be in the McDavid sweepstakes. Simply not worth it to unload what is likely going to be another top 5 pick. I would lose a lot of confidence in the new management if they would make such a shortsighted move as he's not even as dynamic a player as Seguin and the Flames passed him up for Monahan who probably will never put up quite the same offensive production.
