Any news on the rumored health issue?

Strome said he was fine.

Strome said he was fine.

That was during the series.

I'm thinking mono, that would cause someone to look sluugish and slow out there

We have a winner folks.

In other words, you can figure out an angle to dismiss anyones poor play. He had 'mono' .

Strome said he was fine.

He looked exactly the same to me. The level of competition got higher so he was exposed.

Any news on the rumored health issue?

There is no 'rumored' health issue. It was made up on HF boards to justify why he was playing so poorly.

It was posted by Dave Hahn, a Hockey's Future staff member... surely he wouldn't make it up?!?

 

[Canucks LB]

Probably the most disappointing player in the playoffs this year.

For context, here is my original post.

Strome is dealing with an underlying factor that the public will find out about following the conclusion of the playoffs.

For those just tuning in now, Strome is not 100%, and judging him off a sample size as small as a playoff series is, to put it loosely, far-fetched.

If you read this accurately, "injury" or "sick" are not explicitly stated. What is, however, is "underlying factor," which suggests any number of things.

To suggest that I said he was hurt, injured, or sick is not accurate. It is clear that the young man wasn't playing up to his usual capabilities, and if he or the organization wish to address that, then that remains their prerogative.

This will be the last time I address this, and I appreciate those who brought this to my attention directly.

IF it ends up with him having zero injury/sickness or whatever and he just flat out was bad in the playoffs, that paints a pretty bad picture in my opinion.

Not a single game in the playoffs where you could say "Dylan Strome took that game over"

 

[080]

Here you go, Arizona. He's all yours. Leave us a choice between Marner and Hanifin.

I think there's some hyperbole going on. Did Draisaitl dominate last year when his team was swept in 4 games in the playoffs?

The thing is if he had even like .8 ppg and was engaged and creating chances no one would care as much, the fact that he looked dreadful and disappeared when the stakes got higher is the part that worries ppl.

Understatement. Expectations on Strome were hilarious...he struggled to slow the game down against a couple of great clubs. Pre-Sportsnet playoff coverage you'd think everybody was an Otters season ticket holder, post-Sportsnet coverage you'd think every top 5 prospect has to be a waterbug highlight machine.

Nothing different from regular season. Several times I came away underwhelmed by his play but when you look at the scoresheet he had 2 points. Is he the dynamic player that Marner is? Answer is no. Is he still a very good prospect who has tons of upside once his body fills out? You bet. This isn't about what you can do today. It's how their game projects 3 years down the road. He's easily a Top 5 player and given positional need it will be hard to pass at 3 for AZ. I prefer Marner but AZ desperately needs a future #1C more than a scoring winger.

Well, that sounds like an off-ice issue, like a death in the family or some other sort of problem likely to effect a teenager's focus. We'll see.

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Mount Kramer Cameras]

It's worth drafting Strome for his mullet. Gotta be worth another 5 points a season

So has anyone heard anything about this supposed 'factor' Strome was dealing with during the playoffs? It's been basically 3-4 weeks now since their run ended. And there's been zero leak during the combine from what I can tell.

I think he was dealing with lack of compete a.k.a. Leafs' syndrome. Should be a solid choice for us: he'll fit right in with the rest of our guys who want to go for a little recreational skate for 20 minutes per game.

he got dominated by Oshawa and SSM's better teams he played a great playoff untill he ran into those incredible good and deep teams SSM shut down every player they played except McDavid and Oshawa manhandled every player in the OHL and memorial cup saying he didn't produce much against either of those teams is like saying water is wet He is still a great talent and solid pick anywhere after 3

In a larger sample size, Strome also finished 1st in the OHL in scoring (and tied for first in the CHL), including a lengthy stretch where McDavid was absent from the team (and they didn't play on the first line to begin with).

I just shake my head at some of the stuff I read about Strome on HF. I get there's a debate particularly re him and Marner (and tbh, I like Marner more) - but some of the comments about Strome are ridiculous.

Well we've been told it wasn't an injury and he felt fine, so it must have been something that had a psychological effect. My guess: his GF dumped him for a Habs fan.

They can help each other shop for dresses and paint each others toe nails and stuff now, right?

He could end up a very good player, but he scares me the most out of all of the top guys in the draft.
