Thread: Bring on ROR
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Babatunde</b></div><div>It will be similar to the Giroux trade</div></div>

First off, Giroux is a bad comp because he had an NMC that let him control his destiny, and ROR has no such limitations. But even if we use it as a comp, let's remember: Giroux's return was a 1st/3rd/young roster player.

This is a 1st/a guy picked in the 3rd last year/a pending UFA. I could buy the Blues taking Moldenhauer instead of a future 3rd rounder if they like him, but the difference in future value between Tippett and Kerfoot kills it. Not sure who the Tippett analog on Toronto would be - maybe Nick Robertson or Nick Abruzzese? Either way it's going to have to be an under-23 player coming back, not a pending UFA, to match the Giroux package.
