I think if the Flames are patient with Janko they will have a more offensively gifted ROR.
The only way the Flames will compete for the cup is if they can max out on the entry level contracts. They need get away from chasing a player that gets between 8-10 m per season, marquee players can get injured and that type of investment limits a team's options to bounce back.

A lot of it has to do with perceived availability and estimated price to acquire, at least that's why I've brought him up multiple times. Trying to be realistic.
Talking about Taveres or Seguin is fun, but ultimately I'm trying to look at options that have a decent chance of happening.
