Forgetting Kopitar's massive resurgence now, he was a 70 point defensive shutdown center when he signed 10M.
Pominville ($5,600,000), Bogosian ($5,142,857), Moulson ($5,000,000). That's 15M+ off the books, for what amounts to a 15 goal third line right winger. Bogosian was on IR and Moulson buried. That's where the money comes to re-sign Dahlin and Mittelstadt. Not their second leading scorer and best defensive forward.

Yeah, I don't understand what is baffling so many people about ROR, or how some don't see how his addition would improve our forward core.
20+ goal 60 point two way center who is a top 5 face off man in the entire league, and still just 27 years old.
I've said it in here a bunch of times now:
He is like a hybrid of Monahan and Backlund. Just call him Ryan O'Monalund
He would give us a one-two punch up the middle offensively with he and Monahan
He would give us a one-two punch up the middle defensively with he and Backlund
