Does he need to have such a game at this point?
He had yet another point tonight on that assist to DeBrincat.
With his current pace, a four or five point fans would merely be a bonus.

Not really, but....I want to see it. if he can get a couple of those then we can really say he is going from 2C to 1C.

Thank you Elon!
why are the Bowman haters so silent on this trade? it literally has turned this team around and might look like one of the more lopsided trades of the past 5-6 years in the league IF Little Nicky doesn't pan out over there...

It has a good chance of being Stan's best trade by the time he retires. I guarantee it'll be in the top 5.
Sure it's not as lopsided as Manning for Caggiula, but it has the far greater impact on this team.

Something Biz said on the latest Spittin’ Chiclets podcast had me wondering if he was referring to Arizona and the Strome situation as he’s still involved with the Coyotes org.
He said something like it’s crazy to him how there’s still some organizations that aren’t allocating the proper resources for player devolopment. I can’t remeber exactly but I think he also made mention of using an asset like a high end pick on a player and not putting in the time to develop them. Biz was the one who brought that conversation forward too. Just an interesting time to bring that up with Strome breaking out here. Not to mention he was right on the money.

I'm going to say we already won the lottery trading for Strome.

Kind of takes the sting out of a pretty crummy 2015 draft for the Hawks.

Probably not saying much because it was a good trade?
I also wonder if they undervalued him because his older brother, also a top 5 pick, has struggled to establish himself as a top 6 forward. I was reading something last week where Julius Honka’s draft eligible brother is falling in the draft rankings, partially because his older brother hasn’t lived up to the hype yet with Dallas. Regardless, certainly looking like a very good trade for us at this point.

Every game he does something, and he's starting to that show he deserved to go third.

Cause majority of Stanley's criticism is not about trades...rather the horribad contracts and NMC's handed out like cotton candy.. DUH!!!!
Handzus trade is still SB's little sparkling moment of genius for me.
He identified a need that needed to be filled to maximize the team's cup chances, scoured the NHL for a guy who could fill it cheaply, and pulled the trigger.

Yep. He makes good plays. It's like what they say about the game slowing down for the very good players. Couple that with very good vision to see the play that can be made and the skill to make the play - and you have the makings of a very good player. He's also very good at fishing pucks out with his long reach and then controlling the puck enough to make a play with it.
At 21 with less than a season under his belt be has a chance to be an elite player in the NHL if he wants it bad enough to work at continual improvement like the best ones do.

Yup we got our 2LC ... and who knows .... the timing might be such that in 2 or 3 years as Toews naturally slides down one or two .. Strome moves up to 1.
Malagahawks
We tanked hard and got Bedard!! Happy Days!!
If he develops/progesses to that point, is it then logocal to say Strome will be attacking the opposing D's top D pairing? And Toews will be going against the opposing team's top O line?

I think that will be logical eventually. Kane matters more than anything right now, because he's the top offensive threat

The Cup gets handed to the captain, so Toews will be the one receiving it at any point in the near distant future.

Let's Go Hawks!
I know I probably come off like a Strome cultist...but I can't put into words how happy I am with his play (and how thrilled I am that it's the Hawks of all teams he's ended up on!!!).
He needs to work hard on his conditioning in the off season...and also his skating.
I really hope that his current situation helps motivate him...his time in AZ turned out to be so negative.
I've been a big fan of his since he was in the GTHL, not to mention in junior, so all of this just makes me excited for him (and the Hawks for having obtained him!).

There’s not much you can say to out Strome-cultist Musto, so I think you’re covered
