There are times that you see a bit of Ryan in him as far as the way he handles the puck, but their styles are not really similar overall.
Ryan is more in your face and will make a flashy play, whereas Dylan is cerebral and subtle.
He's your classic big skilled pivot.

Hes got good size...If he carrys himself anything like his older brother than he's got great character as well..
Well he is for sure a top 3 pick. Tough to say where he will go though, most media outlets have him going 2-3. I personally think he goes 3rd behind Sean Day and Travis Konecny
Does he remind anyone else of Jason Allison? He's a better skater than Allison, but I definitely wouldn't call skating a strength of Strome's. His best gift is his mind for the game.

I haven't been paying a ton of attention the past couple of weeks...is he confirmed for Erie?
as an aside - i know that most of the attention has been on day...and to an extent Konecny (although he's been dragged into the day drama).
but if you haven't had a chance to watch strome...he's a guy to keep your eye on. he's incredibly impressive...and a guy to tentatively pencil in as an early pick for '15..i know for that draft mcdavid and barzal are the players who get most of the attention (and to the Yanks - a nod to eichel, too). but ppl should bookmark strome as well.

i assume he's showing up.
has he officially signed yet? when's their prospect camp.
where in the line-up is he expected to play next year - will he play C or shift to wing?

Yes, he signed this past week and is currently at the rookie camp.
He'll wear #19 next year and I've read he may start out on the wing, possibly with McDavid.

can erie fans comment on where they anticipate him playing this year? given the team's situation is he probably going to pp time?
i'm really looking forward to seeing him this year.
on the one hand, i don't think it's productive for 15 year olds to get tons of attention - but with that said - i think he deserved a bit more press last year than what he got.

Bump. He's been ripping it up the last 2 days at the U-18.
Reading the Erie Otters thread on the OHL forum, it sure seems like their offence will be McDavid, Strome and a bunch of ?? this season. And it seems like Strome will be the #2 C. This might lead to him being undervalued a bit on draft day.

Strome has certainly been very impressive, and I think he will be undervalued come draft day since he will likely be on a seperate line from McDavid, and won't have the quality of teammates and PP ice time as his fellow, non McDavid prospects. So far he's just outside of the top ten for me, but he could maybe be top-5 by draft day.

It's likely he'll only play with McDavid on the PP. Erie has a huge dearth of scoring line wingers (especially with Karlsson not coming over), and McDavid is going to get his pick of the litter for Erie's wingers, which will be scarce to begin with. As a result, I expect Strome's even strength production to deflate a bit below his actual talent level.
I currently have Strome #11 on my list. Strome playing alongside Raddysh in the post-McDavid years will be fun to watch.
