That was a really big acquisition by the Sabres. ROR provides them with much needed "padding" in their forward core. If their young centres can't shoulder the load ROR can more than capably step in. He can also add weight and tenacity on the wing as well or on either the powerplay or penalty kill.
He also tends to play full seasons. I don't think he's played below 70 games in the last five seasons.
Anyway. Solid contributor to a rapidly rebuilding team.
