I don't doubt they saw something they liked, but the Flames haven't exactly had a great track record of success when acquiring depth guys like Rooney.
Ritchie, Pitlick, Lewis, Nordstrom, Simon, Rinaldo ... a lot of real bad bets on that list. I know there are many who like Lewis, and I don't mind him, but he just got absolutely crushed at 5-on-5 last year.
Even if guys like Rodrigues or Milano aren't willing to come here, just give Ruzicka some more leash. You can get guys like Rooney on waivers.
