Idk thought Strome looked like an awkward skater, not very fast and uninterested. Hope it was just this game. Really impressed by Marner, Konecny, Provorov and Chlapik.
And hopefully some GMs think they same and he drops to us .

Strome had a strong game for Team Cherry and was that side's player of the game. McDavid won the side bet of dinner, and most importantly to Strome, the game.
"I'd much rather win the game and not get that award," Strome said. "I'd much rather be hoisting that trophy right now than getting whatever prize I got."
I was a bit underwhelmed by Strome tonight, but nothing to write the guy off after 1 game.
Skating looked Antropov-esque.
Trade for another top 15 pick and grab Provorov
Brown and McKegg were below average skaters (at best) when they were drafted, but they look a lot better now under the tutelage of Underhill. I'm sure she can do wonders for Strome as well

Player of the game for his team ... maybe they didn't see skating in this game as a problem.
Not impressed with personal achievement more a team guy? I think the Leafs could use that!
Yeah I don't know if he's necessarily better than Rielly at the same stage, but I think he's definitely more well rounded than Rielly. Rielly is more dynamic, while Provorov is just an all around stud.I really hope the Leafs can pick up at least an extra first rounder. In addition to one of the centers that have been discussed I really love Ivan Provorov and Timo Meier.
Provorov looks like a stud. A potential top pairing D-Man who can do it all. I'll probably get flamed for saying this, but I like him better than Rielly at the same stage.
Meier is the kind of do it all forward we don't really have. We have guys who can score, guys who have grit, guys who are solid defensively but we don't really have a guy who checks all the boxes. Meier would be a great compliment to any of our skilled players whether it be Kadri, Nylander, Brown, or Leivo.
