I don't know about this deal. ROR has always been really good, but never great. McGinn is a decent depth forward. Two nice pieces, but the cost is extremely high. Grigorenko is a major flight risk now, but could still be a great asset. Zadorov, in my mind, is still going to be a very, very good defenseman. Common theme with both players is that they were unhappy with the Sabres organization treatment of them IIRC. Compher is underrated and a little undersized, but is a nice additional piece. Adding in the 31st overall pick is complete larceny by the Avs who were in tough to re-sign ROR. Buffalo definitely gets the best player, but that is a lot to give up to get him.
