A bottom feeder getting a 6th overall pick and a 3rd rounder is not a good deal for ROR?
- RogerRoeper

ROR is a future selke winner. would boston trade bergeron for a 6th overall pick and a 3rd rounder?

Yes we do. RoR doesn't hurt teams. He helps them win. Period.
- DutchCanSaveUs


careful now we aren't talking about Crosby ... I like ROR a lot so I wasn't saying he would hurt but you can't predict something that never ended up happening

I agree.

If it was a top 3 pick, different story entirely.

but 5-9 changes the value completely.

It was too risky a move to not match.

There have been several people in this thread who compare the two.

And they are fans of different teams.

Theres reasons as to why he is being compared to Bergeron. Is he Bergeron. No, he isnt.

But hes definitely not too far off.

it's not a future prediction. he is one of the top 10 defensive forwards in the league today.

Its not necessarily about future predictions.

But the value of a player is also determined by what you expect out of them in the future.

Otherwise, draft picks and prospects would hold no value.

ROR had just come off his best offensive and defensive season. This being the first season he played in a top 6 role.

It would have been a ridiculous stance to trade him away after showing the progression he showed.

In 2009' I had so many people tell me Tyler Myers would win a Norris soon. You just can't predict things like that at all.

Hindsight is 20/20.

Calgary didnt get Seth Jones. Theres no reason to think Colorado would have.

They got Mackinnon. It was enough.

Why are ALL Leaf fans so ridiculously uninformed?


Good lord.

It's like you don't watch hockey outside of that little bubble you call home.

- DutchCanSaveUs



"ALL", capitalized, really?

Some of us are fans of RoR. There are more on the Leafs boards. ANY team in the league would like RoR on their team. Edmonton and the Leafs could especially use a guy like this.

Yes, there are some stupid posts here from people who don't have a clue, but you are being as asshat about it.

You also accused Leafs fans of saying Bozak was better than RoR.

Is thinking Thery should have let him go for such a good package and taking issue with "Future Selke Winner" like it's 100% fact "Misinformed"?
