Colorado could use him back, but I got a lot of crap thrown at me for including Timmins in the idea on our board lol.
Fair enough. I'm not really that high on ROR as a Canes trade target. I'd prefer a more offensive pivot.
Buffalo isn’t interested in prospects
Buffalo should look at St.Louis' prospects they have some of the best forward prospects in the league. Their defense prospects like Walman Schmaltz are ready to be in the NHL.
Plus they have one of the best goalie prospects in the AHL with Husso. But yah Buffalo wouldnt be interested

ROR has 5 years of term / prime hockey left. He’s a Toews/Bergeron level player on a ****ty team.
Buffalo is not trading him for an HFboards platter of hopes and potential.
Top pair D, in prime, with term.
Everything else is a non starter
Today, you were taught that Buffalo is not trading ROR for anything less than a top pairing defensemen. Don't be mad.
Teams don't trade high end, long term assets based on some perceived value that you can meet by putting a handful of futures in a bucket.
If they do look to trade him for help on defense. It isn't likely to end up a proven guy. Something like Z, or Girard is probably going to have to be the main piece IMO. Maybe someone with a few NHL games, but generally unproven with high upside. Even that is difficult. That's just the nature of things right now.
The nature of things, is your not getting 5 years of prime age 1st line center play for futures...
Even Ryjo didn't get a proven #1D, he got a guy who had some experience and had that upside. Good luck with that.
I like ROR but his contract is on the ugly side and the Jets likely can’t afford his cap hit.....but he would be a good 2C/3C on the Jets.

ROR’s contract is great the cap hit isn’t. The majority of the money has already been paid out. He gets huge bonus every 7/1, and only makes around 1 million per year and those 12 million July 1st are all gone. However his deal is still 7.5m vs the cap.
We’ll take A Seth Jones... and if not, we’ll happily keep ROR for the next 5 years

Seth Jones as he was at the time of the trade, sure.
Seth Jones as he is now? Absolutely not a snowball's chance in hell of anyone ever doing that ever.
Recognize the difference.

Pretty sure that's what he meant.
Contenders couldn't careless about the dollars.....all that matters is the ugly cap hit
However what about Carolina or the Islanders? Those teams might like a deal that doesn’t require a ton of real cash.Contenders couldn't careless about the dollars.....all that matters is the ugly cap hit. Plus I should add all teams will not like the lock out & buy out proof factor on the contract. Not a good contract
Jones wasn't a "top pair D, in prime, with term" when he was traded for RyJo.
