As I opined previously, we just don't know who were the other players in the NY OC. I am leary of any suggestion that an outsider such as Roth could murder a Don without the support of at least one other family. I don't consider the Rosatos to be one such family.

If Michael is murdered the night of the Communion, Pentangeli takes over. If Michael is murdered in Cuba, then Pentangeli and Cicci are already out of the picture and Neri and Rocco contest with the Rosatos and whoever else has can challenge.

Tom could be of assistance, but if he's not a wartime Consigliere, then he's certainly not Don material.
