This team is weak enough down center.
How do you figure it's OK?
It's not fine Strome-less smh
If Strome is going to treat these first few games like preseason or junior scrimmages, it’s perfectly fine with me. Give Chytil a look at 2C and Goodrow at 3C. I mean, when are we going to give Chytil a chance? Strome being out forces the situation and is possibly the only way it was going to happen. If Chytil can make some noise we may finally see that Strome isn’t necessary just because he butters Panarin’s bread and we can potentially move on from him.
Strome is one of the reasons we’re weak down center. He isn’t a responsible player and he’s prone to weak plays, weak penalties, etc. If Chytil is ever going to grow into the 2C role, he needs the opportunity to do so. Goodrow is a perfectly adequate 3C. IF Chytil can be a 2C, Strome is expendable. If Chytil can’t be, we should still be looking for a better rounded center than Strome.
