I think cost will be similar for tarasenko and I'd give him the edge. But knowing the history of our organization and becoming focused over multiple years on specific players prior to acquisition, I can absolutely see us trading for ROR this year.

Nah, I'd see it as:
Dube - Lindholm - Toffoli
O'Reilly - Kadri - Huberdeau
Mangiapane - Backlund - Coleman
<lots of options on 4th line>
As much as Tarasenko makes sense to us, I think the team has a goal of playing a very specific way - and O'Reilly is probably one of the best fits league-wide for that style. He's also a Stanley Cup Champion *CAPTAIN* which Sutter will cherish.
