I cannot find a single article or actual journalism that has a quote on this. I really can't.
The only thing I found was infact was quotes from in after a game in his first couple games of of being a Sabre where Blysma put out the line of ROR-Zemgus-Ennis for his top line and he had 2 powerplay points, a goal, won 11 of 17 faceoffs, and took 5 shots. He even said he felt great on the wing.
So he has a history of playing wing in Buffalo, and he just played wing for Canada. He has an opportunity to play on the top line, and we need a 20-goal, 60+ point guy for Eichel.
Now that the "he won't play wing in Buffalo" stuff is debunked, we can move on to "ror and jack hate each other they will never play on the same line"

I seriously cannot google a single f'n article that says anything relative to this. I really cannot. It honestly seems like it is just rhetoric from a Colorado fan who pushed him out of town.
I want nothing more than for ROR to slot into a LW need next to Jack or Casey next season and fill that HUGE gap.
The article I posted even said that he still took 17 faceoffs in that game with Zemgus at center technically. Do that next to Casey... and I'll be happy as a clam.

I’d trade him for some socks, as long as the socks don’t cry after every loss - sbroads24
I am so confused by this???
Is this a dig at him for being emotional and caring about winning/losing because that seems like the DUMBEST thing to have ever been said about a hockey player.
"We want a guy who is a leader and cares about every moment no matter if they are already eliminated from the playoffs"
"yea but this dude cares too much man.. it's just a game"

He cared so much that he gave up, hmmmmm.
He cares so much he came into the season already lost and not sure how he felt about hockey.
