Not too surprising - he is the product of his environment and Arbitrators don’t care about that when handing out contracts.

 

[Heldig]

My bet is he is going to play in Edmonton on a one year show me contract.

 

[seafoam]

NYR to repace his brother

 

[kanucks25]

So that's two 3rd overall picks the Hawks are trying to jettison today

 

[Voight]

My bet is he is going to play in Edmonton on a one year show me contract.

Is he going to play 2nd line center there? Otherwise seems pointless to sign there to be a 3rd C

 

[Some Other Flame]

Guessing he takes his talents or lack thereof to Edmonton to play with McDavid again

 

[BonMorrison]

Reunite McDavid and Strome let's go

 

[Viqsi]

My bet is he is going to play in Edmonton on a one year show me contract.

My subsequent bet, if that occurs, is that he's going to show f***-all 'cause Edmonton doesn't have the superstar wingers to spare to carry him like Kane and DeBrincat currently do, and he'll end up in Free Agent Purgatory from team to team for another year or two before heading off to Europe or something.

The guy isn't completely hopeless - his game does improve with stars, and those stars also do better with him - but there's so many other players that do so much more given such opportunities.

Would be a great fit for the sharks who lack a finisher.

Dylan is gonna be like Stro me the money!





you know, like the Jimmy McGuire movie. Get it? No? Is this thing on...

If Puljujarvi is actually moved, the major junior junkies of Canadian media would love the prospect of Strome playing on McDavid's wing again.

It would also be interesting to watch if Colorado looked at either Ryan or Dylan Strome to replace Kadri leaving. They'd be in good positions to succeed if they're able to keep Nuke, as they'd likely be in between him and one of Lekhonen or Landeskog/Rantanen.

 

[Prairie Habs]

If Habs trade Dvorak or send down Wright I would definitely take a shot at him. What sort of contract is he looking for?

1st line LW? Strome - McDavid - Draisaitl.

 

[La Bamba]

he'll fit in nicely on McD's wing

Strome - McD - Yamo
Kane - Drai - X
Hyman - RNH - Pulju

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Isn't Strome too slow for the NHL?

Why would McDavid want him on his wing?


Is Colorado actively pursuing Jonathan Drouin to play on MacKinnon's wing?

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Interesting that Chicago is just moving on from this entire generation of Hawks

 

[BruinsBtn]

Another guy that HF thought was worth more than Jake Debrusk bites the dust.

[GirardSpinorama]

Don't think Avs can take a forward who can't skate. Doesn't fit in the system.

 

[Voight]

1st line LW? Strome - McDavid - Draisaitl.

Heck if he got to be on their line I'm sure he'd play any position

Man after his first year with us I really thought he was going to reach at least some of his potential

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Interesting that Chicago is just moving on from this entire generation of Hawks

is it though? they've been a lotto team for 5 years now, time to start over

McDavid worked well with speedster Pat Maroon, so I don't think speed is the factor for compatability with McDavid.

Most people just like to think about it because they played together in junior.

Heck if he got to be on their line I'm sure he'd play any position

Man after his first year with us I really thought he was going to reach at least some of his potential

I think his potential is as NHL role player who looks okay beside star players.

 

[HockeyVirus]

He's signing with the Leafs. Confirmed. #insider

 

[BruinsBtn]

Credit to Arizona for getting Nick Schmaltz for this guy. Chayka gets a lot of hate but that was shrewd move.
