Peters went out of his way multiple times to advocate that it all starts with a faceoff win.
"first 50/50 puck battle" - Important to win.
Keeping that in mind, I can certainly see Calgary making a bid for ROR if he becomes available this summer for sure as he's a leader in FO% every year and can put up 50-60 points reliably at the same time. Would solidify our top 3 center's with ROR slotting in #2 spot and Backlund dropping down to #3 as the shutdown line alongside Frolik.
Tkachuk - ROR - Bennett for example could be a pretty deadly 2nd line on paper but I'd be okay with that to start the season personally.
