So really the point of this thread is to see how fast we can all die of Alcohol poisoning?
Speaking of which, is it possibly time to start drinking whenever we hear "budget team" when others talk about the Canes? (That ROR thread basically came down to, the Canes can't ask for more than ROR because he's a budget 1C and they're a budget team)So really the point of this thread is to see how fast we can all die of Alcohol poisoning?

I didn't realize ROR's contract is almost completely front-loaded. I think that's less of an issue for Dundon than it would have been for PK, but a potential 2020 work stoppage where ROR gets paid $5M on 7/1 and only has $1M at risk for the season isn't as appealing.
OTOH, maybe Dundon can get a discount by making an offer for ROR before July 1, 2018 when Buffalo has to pay another $7.5M bonus.
I'd still offer something around Bean (or Fleury if he'd be their preference), Rask, and our 2019 1st for ROR, but not sure that would be enough to entice Buffalo.
Yep. On the flipside, his actual dollars is only $6M for the last 4 years of his deal (vs. a $7.5M cap hit) so for some teams, like Carolina, that's desirable. That is, unless Dundon suddenly starts spending to the cap.
Yeah won't disagree with that one bit, and in those terms Fleury may be more appealing but just probably is flat out not good enough yet/not experienced enough yet to be the centerpiece for a trade like that.I highly doubt ROR gets moved for anything short of a current top 4D with upside (along with the other adds).
For those that missed it... Skinner + Hanifin + Necas + 1st might bring back a 1C. Now, one might think that was one of those retaliatory "well your value is way off, so take this!" type posts, but no, it was unprovoked.
We better be acquiring McDavid or Matthews for that package
How could you forget about tavares.Trade for ROR, then sign E. Staal in the offseason to a big, dumb contract, promote Necas, move Aho to center.
Staal, Staal, ROR, Necas, Aho, Rask, Wallmark, Kruger, Ryan. With that center depth we'll be unstoppable!
Meh. He can round out our depth in Charlotte.How could you forget about tavares.
Do we even have depth in Charlotte?Meh. He can round out our depth in Charlotte.
