It's about cost. I've said in a vacuum he's an absolute positive. I see Parayko for ROR, and that's a bad trade. Adding anyone from Buffalo on defense makes the deal even worse. Some said....sign a FA, well let's just sign Tavares because FA is a crap shoot.If that’s the case then, what options do we have to be better?
I want a PPG center. Don’t get me wrong there, but Tavares is our only shot at this point (barring something completely unforeseen). Thomas looks like he could reasonably be a low end #1, but I would estimate that is in the 60 point range. That’s the going rate for a bottom end #1. O’ Reilly was 33rd in C scoring this year with 61 points. That’s essentially what I hope Thomas can become (hopefully better, but I am trying to be reasonable).
If the Blues can get ROR for expendable assets, then I'm all for it, but I doubt that's the case.
I'm starting to see and hear 3OA for ROR.....if that's an option then Armstrong has to walk away and not look back
