I'm happy to discuss your opinion. I don't give a #### about whether experts agree, and I am not sure why you do either.
It was a hypothetical question, not that hard of a concept to grasp. Just pointing out two players who are believed to be available who play the positions we are discussing. Name a RW who is rumoured to be available who would be a better acquisition than RoR.

You need to think about context and slotting. Acquiring another C, like RoR, allows the Flames to put Backlund and Frolik back to the third line. Where they should be. You can put Bennett on their wing & play Tkachuck with RoR. Then you have three legitimate lines.

We have a bunch of good centres already?? Don't kid yourself, we have two. The rest are question marks. In other words, we're middle of the pack. Jankowski looks to be a fine player, but he has a way to go to get in the conversation with the likes of RoR.
