I like the idea of ROR because he is showing he can play top 6 winger minutes, but also gives us the potential to return to a stronger 3C model that we had in the past (if necessary).
I agree with all that, Ogre. Crosby's better off without him and he'd be better utilized in a 3rd line role. Was only arguing that the guy's not useless in the playoffs.

No offense but when you consider the Penguins Record Right Now, the streak they are on, the Title of this post starts to make less and less sense as we move on.
A lot of it comes down to MAF in the playoffs obviously. We can tweak the lines a bit, but they are solid, and our defense is actually amazing now considering we have so many options. MAF simply has to stay tough and not let in weak goals at bad times during the post season to kill our momentum.
thats a pretty terrible strategy, as true as it is.
Losing Cooke was tough.
Sutter has been having a very good season, but it's the wear-and-tear factor of a big, active centermen on your 3rd line that makes your team that much harder to play against that I'm not quite sure we get with Sutter.
It sucks, but we all know it, the team knows it, and it's really no surprise that MAF tends to cave under all that pressure at some point.
Alternative --> Bring in another "starting" goalie. But how/who, and how can Shero justify doing so given that MAF is having a possible Vezina year?
Maybe we somehow fit Miller in with Buffalo holding back salary, but would the deal actually be worth it? We'd probably let him walk after this post-season, he potentially wouldn't even play in the post-season, and what would we have to give up?

just like last year's streak and record
ROR is a young, left handed version of Patrice Bergeron. There is really nothing there not to like.
Not saying I think he is someone we'd have enough use for to break the bank, I don't, but what he has been doing on Duchene's wing, you'd like on our top6, that I guarantee.
He really should go somewhere else to play C though.
Where the Team went to the Conference Finals?
A bunch of teams would've liked that result.
I guess when you view success as cup or go home, a lot of people are going to be dissapointed more often then not.
Buffalo would have to retain the full 50% AND we would have to trade over 3mil of salary back in the trade. So Dupuis would need to be part of the trade. I just don't see that happening.
Wait, Kane and Patches don't fit the description of "scoring threat" very well??? You must be joking.
