you don't draft casey to be your 3rd line center

you don't pay RoR to be your 3rd line center

Depends how important the Center position is to you

Are we a team that’s building a “top6”
Or are we building down the MIDDLE,
and filling in the wings around the centers?

I’m more of a “build down the middle” guy,
but it remains to be seen what Botts thinks

To be fair though....
We don’t necessarily have to keep ROR to build down the middle though
Rodrigues scored at a .5pts/game pace
Asplund is probably ready by 19-20, if not now
Pu & Davidsson coming too

So if one (or more) of those guys can be a legit Center for us...
then maybe we can afford to move O’Reilly & still be strong down the middle

Just don’t move ROR for this mid1st & a decent prospect crap
That a BS return for a good player
Trading him has to bring back a core piece
Not a pick that could just as easily turn out to be Girgensons as it could McAvoy
Don’t give me the pick,
give me the “McAvoy” type prospect
Then I’m ok trading ROR
*as long as Botts is confident about 1 of the centers coming

I think waiting a year makes the most sense
We can find out more about these other centers, and it gives Mitts a year to establish himself instead of throwing him right into the 2C slot
And ROR should still have good trade value
