Speculation: DeBrincat and Strome

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

And for somebody claiming Cat will never replicate his first two seasons he’s on a higher point pace than he was his rookie year.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I mean, Cat is gonna go on a heater at some point and I still think he finishes around thirty goals. He’s not burying chances but he missed on a good chance and he ripped half a chance just wide tonight alone. His shot/release didn’t go away.

 

[KWP]

Right now I'm so disgusted, I'm Hawk GM, I'm on 30 phone lines saying, "Open for business, let's talk ..."
Tonight's debacle was that bad.
Nobody and I mean noBODY ... well except the two you know whos ... off limits.
Cat & Strome certainly not.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

I question whether DeBrincat will ever reach anywhere close to the level of his first 2 seasons. Look at what's happening to all small players except Patrick Kane. League wide, these smurfy players are having down seasons. Is it possible that the league has caught up to them? Gaudreau and DeBrincat are having similar seasons.

recency bias...

Do you think Arizona is stupid enough to trade Schmaltz for Strome? No one would do that trade right now, only Stan would

 

[Styles]

I’d keep them both but if we were going to trade them I’d call Columbus in a deal around Werenski.

As a Coyotes fan I would say there is not a chance in hell we'd trade Schmaltz for Strome.
Having said that I think the trade was a win for both teams. Strome is a talent without a doubt, but he needs Debrincat and is happy playing with Debrincat. If you guys trade him at the deadline, he'll probably revert back to poor play and attitude issues that you saw in Arizona.

Does Schmaltz still play center?

I would hope that the two "you know whos" are Dach and Boqvist.

Right now

Gaudreau: 10-19-29 in 39 games

Domi: 9-17-26 in 37 games

Marchessault: 12-15-27 in 40 games

DeBrincat: 8-17-25 in 38 games

They're all having similar seasons. There aren't that many smurfy guys that stick, but of the ones who did, this is what I found.

 

[Jagged Ice]

Does Schmaltz still play center?

Usually he does but lately he's been on Soderberg's line too and then big Carl plays center.

 

[goldenbladz1]

Strome needs to out produce Toews one year while being a shell of the all around player disinterested Toews is before you can begin to say he’s our 1C.

I agree, in no way is Strome a 1C and not better than Toews. Strome is a good passer/vision and has good IQ but legs can't do what his mind tells them to do.

I think he is an imperfect centre but I thought the Hawks missed him when he was off with the concussion.

 

[x Tame Impala]

You keep both. The Hawks are in no position to be trading away young talent.

Would you trade Strome to Edmonton for Nurse and their 2020 1st?

I would, doubt Edmonton would do that without Chia in charge though

Without Kane padding his stats he’s useless, he has a good game where he’s noticeable then he has 10 that are meh where Kane carries him and he still gets 5 points when he has been absolutely invisible. He’s junk...

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Would you trade Strome to Edmonton for Nurse and their 2020 1st?

Yes, but would Edmonton...Strome needs a new deal after this season

 

[x Tame Impala]

Would you trade Strome to Edmonton for Nurse and their 2020 1st?

Not sure. Depends on how Strome finishes out the season and depends on Nurse’s contract situation

 

[clydesdale line]

Usually he does but lately he's been on Soderberg's line too and then big Carl plays center.

From what I've seen on your board, he hasn't played center since October (although I can see why as he's always been better on the wing).

i would like a 2nd tier d-man that is in their prospect list to be added.

reason is this a mid teen first rounder, Nurse is last yr of a 3.5 mil rfa and will need a pay raise. Edm needs to sweeten the pot.

 

[780il]

Would you trade Strome to Edmonton for Nurse and their 2020 1st?

Oh hell no

 

[780il]

I'd be on board with getting Strome and throwing him on Mcdavids wing letting Leon drop to the 2nd line.

But Nurse AND a 1st? Hell no. I'd give up the 1st and guys like Jones + Pulju but your not getting Nurse for him.

Edit: just realized this is the Hawks board and not the main boards. My bad if I'm intruding or anything.

No worries. I don’t think it was a hawks fan that posted the idea anyway.

Like I said above, I’d imagine Edmonton only takes that offer if Chia magically regained control

 

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

The way i see it, Dach (god willing) will become our 1c, pushing Toews to 2c (where he should be). At that point, we just need a 3rd liner, and that's not terribly hard to acquire or draft.

If Strome can get a good haul, I'm on board.

That being said, easier said than done. If Dach does live up to that potential, then we're gravy. But right now, it makes absolutely zero sense to trade him. He's s good offensive player who's smart And generally makes good plays.
