To check on the impact of RoR look at what happened to the Av's after he rejoined the team when they wrongly matched the Flame's RFA offer sheet.
They won 8 out of the 29 games he played to win the Mackinnon sweeps. When he joined them they were 8-8-3.... 4pts out of playoff spot. With him back leading the team 8-17-4.
when Feaster made the offer the Avs were basically tied with the Flames. The expectations were that with RoR centering Iginla and Tanguay the Flames would have made the playoffs. That has been proven wrong a couple of times now.

Calgary got in as 3rd in the Pacific. There's no way Colorado gets in over Calgary last year. Literally no way. Maybe over Winnipeg.
