Given the rumors of the Flames making an offer for Spezza, I honestly don't see the Flames sitting pat and not making some big moves to improve the team in the immediate future. So I believe that with ROR, the Flames would not be drafting in the top 5 next season. If ROR is acquired, you can bet that there will be other moves that improves the team in the immediate future.
So if ROR can be had for next year's 1st, I say make the deal. I don't think ROR is the type of franchise center Feaster imagined, but he's a good, proven player who is durable and can play center or wing. You can expect 20+ goals and 60+ points from him.
