How does ROR fix that?
He slots in slightly above Backlund. Probably costs you Backlund. You also have Janko in dev, who could fill a similar role soon.
At least Jokinen was a C when we needed a C.

No. I'm not advocating the Flames must trade for him at all costs but I'm not opposed to it either. He's better than Backlund but he is getting paid accordingly, however his 60% faceoff win percentage is phenomenal. People can talk about lack or RW or Center but when's the last time this organization had a center that was amongst the best in the league let alone the best? This has been a team that's always been at the bottom of the league in faceoff win percentage and IMO that's something that needs improvement so a 60 point center that's good on special teams and the best in the league at faceoffs is a guy that can help any team. I feel like it's you that is kind of ill-informed which is why your comment stuck out to me.
