Toronto was trying to trade down to columbus’ pick, there’s literally a video of it you should watch itThat doesnt mean they were trading down... That means they got their guy. They would have picked Werenski if Marner was not available, guaranteed.
This was recently talked about on the radio here in TO... The whole "Babcock only wanted Hanafin" narrative is wrong. Apparently, he just wanted to make sure the due diligence was done on the guy, but pretty early on switched to liking the other guys more, specifically Provorov.Babcock was actually interested in Hanifin and thats it. The dude isn't a scout so he should stay out of this stuff and not have much say. Aside from Babcock, the Leafs were heavily interested in Provorov, Werenski and Rantanen. Nothing indicated that the Leafs had interest in Strome.
You don't need a link to know the leafs have the greatest front office ever and are infallible. Just ask a leaf fan.Of course. Link?... Or na. Because all i have heard was Babcock wanted Werenski with the pick.
No one said it was his fault.How is it Strome’s fault for the teams he plays on?
What if he was traded to Tampa?
I don't understand how this is all on Dylan Strome.
forgot the all caps and 10x font.Dylan Strome has lost 12 of his last 13 games. 9 game losing streak. His teams have averaged 4.54 GA/game and Strome is- 12 in that span.
I don't think anyone is blaming Strome. Just pointing out that it's been a tough month for him.
We also would not have had that video of the Oilers owner proposing to McDavid or that photo of the old couple clinging to him.A disturbing thought is that the Oilers had the 3rd best lottery odds that year. He would have been picked by the Oilers and there'd be 2 threads a day about how they ruined Strome and didn't develop him properly. And my god, would have finished even worse in the standings since then.
Sure. -12 certainly indicates he’s slumping. But how does his teams record and GA/avg fall on his shoulders? Can’t the same be said for the rest of his teammates?
Of course. Link?... Or na. Because all i have heard was Babcock wanted Werenski with the pick.
I was thinking that, if anything op was sympathetic and called it a tough month yet a few people jumping to conclusionsNo one said it was his fault.
If the Oilers drafted 3rd that season, the threads would be about how Hanifin isn't a superstar because of the Oilers.A disturbing thought is that the Oilers had the 3rd best lottery odds that year. He would have been picked by the Oilers and there'd be 2 threads a day about how they ruined Strome and didn't develop him properly.
