No way we would trade schmaltz for ROR. If anything, we would trade for him to be a center, not a winger. Would be more realistic if we traded vinnie and anisimov would probably be on the move as well to make room for him. I would've also suggested trading murphy to make cap space, which could make sense for buffalo to potentially add a young gritty D-Man, but his value isnt that high right now and Q is liking his progress. Overall, probably 0 chance this deal happens unless anisimov is part of the return package (unlikely for buffalos needs unless they are 100% resigning kane) or he gets dealt beforehand.

ya you may be right. i would like to have him with kane though. maybe the hawks could make this move in the offseason or something.

As of right now, I wouldnt like this to happen, as anisimov is on fire lately and seems to be the only reason our PP isnt last place. Not saying I wouldnt take ROR as a 2nd/3rd line center, but having 22.9 mil tied up in our 3 centers seems like a bit much and I dont want to trade anisimov at the moment. This wouldve seemed like a great idea in the start of the season though

Why are you so intent with him being a C though? He would be more than fine being with kane or toews. Hawks have the cap space next year to add a player even with is full cap hit, resign almost everybody and make moves on the D if they need to. Anisimov i don't want him gone either. I think he hits 30 goals this year. Imagine a Toews, Saad, Debrincat/O'Reilly---- Kane, Anisimov, Debrincat/O'Reilly lines.
