Rumor: Dylan Strome is available (per Elliotte Friedman)

[Kevin Musto]

I was gonna post the GIF of Barratt doing the cry baby face to Lindgren in the penalty box, then immediately getting out of the box destroying him open ice and puts the puck bar down. But apparently that GIF is gone now.

One of my favorite sequences I’ve seen in a college hockey game in awhile. Barratt can be a bit of a rat. For sure not a fun player to play against in a lot of the same ways Bolland was.

Seems the dude who posted it made his account private. Found this though:

Strome will be rockfords captain next year. Him and Teply on the same line.

And that line WILL be generational.

Alternate captain*

Stromer ever wears a letter, it won't be a C or an A but a G for ...

Stan should sign Strome before he trades him, convince him to take 2M per for two years and pump his tires with the thought that in two years he will be making big bucks then BOOM trade! He had unsuccessful stint in Zona then had one good year and then had a down year where he was pretty much useless, Stan should be able to get him to take that deal as he’s still big risk.

I agree with most of this minus the pretty much useless part, I think that’s a bit hyperbolic

Friedman was on the Blackhawks Talk podcast and said the whole Strome trade thing was overblown. Basically a Buffalo dude who really likes Strome asked what it would take to get him and Friedman made some calls. When he said he could be had, it was purely speculative and the Hawks aren't really actively shopping him. Which makes sense because who is going to make a big trade without knowing the cap for next year?

The podcast really clarified a lot in that EF said the Buffalo guy really like Strome and really it was more of a 'what would it take' not 'is stan punting him'.

I do have to laugh at some guys kicking him to the curb fast. All I do is look back at how long we tried to fill that void with guys like Handzus Bolland Kruger Sharp(who hated c). Now we fight over Dach and him vying for the same spot.

Imo...if noone offers a 1st...scram.

An early before the hawks even consider it. I'm not a huge fan of Strome hes a talented player.

REALLY hope we keep Strome. He and Cat have a great chance at bouncing back next season.

We’ve FINALLY established very good(if not great) depth at the center position, which is critical if you want to contend in the post season....so why on earth would we ruin it by trading one of them away? I saw someone suggest we trade him for Noah freakin’ Hanafin!?!? Are u kidding me?? We have a plethora of young highly touted defenseman that are already/near NHL-ready. Why would we acquire another? Who sits then? Mitchell/Boqvist? Wouldn’t make any sense AND we’d be weakening our forward depth in the process.

Hanifin is left handed while Boqvist and Mitchell are right handed. They wouldn’t be sitting lmao. The left side still needs some talent.

Keith, de-Haan/Maatta, Carlsson, Beaudin. That’s not enough and would warrant trading a 2C and weakening our center depth/forward depth? Not in a million years. Especially for Hanafin who is above average nothing special.

While I don't disagree on adding talent to the left side of defense.
I still like what the hawks have now.
Keith/De Hann/Maatta and Carlsson/Beaudin and to a lesser extent Gilbert they are ready to go forward.

Strome+Murphy for Brodin+Greenway? Then sign Brodin to 5.5-6 x 5/6. Legit top pairing/good 3D imo and is great defensively which is what the Hawks need. Then take Sanderson with the 9th to round out the defense

Like Brodin, but that's a no from me. And not interested in Sanderson that high in the draft at all.

Strome>Greenway
Murphy>Brodin
Sanderson at 9 is a reach

Where's the logic here?

Wow. It’s hard for me to put into words just how much I emphatically disagree with every facet of this post.

The OP must be a Wild fan. For his sake, I hope so.

 

[SimpleJack]

This is about the point where Ishtabeat should be saying “a simple no would have been fine”

 

[Crow]

I don’t know if Murphy is really better than brodin. Better for the money sure.

 

[Ishtabeat]

Sanderson is a future top pairing D

 

[ChiHawk21]

would you do esa lindell for strome 1 for 1

 

[Drumman44]

would you do esa lindell for strome 1 for 1

Lindell is good, but with a flat / declining cap $5.8 million is pretty damn hard to swallow

 

[ChiHawk21]

Keith-Murphy
Lindell-Boqvist
De Haan/Maatta-Mitchell
Seabrook

Brodin is nothing special. And Greenway has been quite the underwhelming performer. Hard pass.
