Speculation: Vancouver’s ROR interest

[BowieSabresFan]

Is there some kind of contest going on I'm not aware of? It's like every new ROR thread is trying to find a way to be even worse than the previous ones.

And, evidently, three of them were started by one, specific Sabres fan.

I just don't see him coming to Vancouver. Unless it involves players over our 1st.

 

[Mattilaus]

If it doesn't hurt then it isn't enough for ROR because as a Sabres fan, it would HURT to lose him.

There is no way it starts with the 7th pick. That's way too much. ROR makes 7 mil/yr.

Something around Tanev makes the most sense to me.

Lmao, of course it would. Bogasian for Horvat makes sense to me though.

If he had more term left on his deal and could actually stay on the ice maybe, but neither are the case. It's been discussed ad nauseum if Vancouver won't part with Pettersson, Boeser, the 7th overall, or Horvat there's no deal to be had. You can't expect to get a 1st line center with several years of control for B prospects and 2nd round draft picks. I'm not going to tell Canucks fans they should part with those assets either as they'd be better served rebuilding and keeping their key assets.

It makes no sense for the Canucks to acquire ROR. He’s 27, with 5 years left on his dea that takes him to age 32. That’s pretty much the eNd of his prime years.

Are the Canucks in a position to take advantage of his prime years? No.. they will waste away the remainder of his 20’s during their rebuild.

And then you get to thsee delimna if extending a 32 year old who would want a 5 year deal until age 37.

Logically makes no sense given the window to win hasn’t opened for the Canucks. ROR should be a target for a team that is ready to be a consistent playoff team.
