I have seen a lot of Strome (and Marner for that matter), and Marner's skill level is simply better. I will qualify that statement with the phrase at this point in time.
I don't think anyone here doubts that Marner is a more capable scorer. His regular season and playoff scoring is just simply better on a per game basis, despite playing on a team that scored 41 goals less than Strome's Otters.
With that being said, I think Strome has the chance to take his game to next level, and potentially be a more effective NHLer than Marner. Once again, at this point in time, Marner is the more dynamic scoring option in junior, which I think has a good chance to translate.
A point about the regular season. CHL Stats estimate time on ice and according to that, Strome actually outproduces Marner in P/e60. Marner did take part in a larger percentage of his teams offense though.
