Link?

Cap dump trade? Doesn't seem legit. Strome can at least play 3C.

 

[LeafChief]

Spooner is better, no?

EDIT: Yikes - just checked his stats. I was basing it off of his hot start with NYR after the trade last year.

Proposal: - Ryan Spooner to the Oilers?

Damn.

Spooner is better, no?

Both are pretty medoiocre, Spooner offers more offensively but his away from the puck is comically bad.

 

[Seachd]

Uh, seems about even from this angle, I guess.

At the very least from the perspective of first names.

 

[JT Kreider]

Wtffff. I would have rather a 3rd for Spooner. Even a 4th. Or just keep him. Strome is useless.

Damn. Round of applause for the OP in that thread.

No he's not useless. He's a warm body on the ice with slooooow hockey vision

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

Screams 'change of scenery' and 'fingers crossed'. Hopefully it works out for all parties.

f***

 

[DRW204]

they both lose

Unless Gorton is about to trade Hayes and Strome is taking over at 2C, I don't see how or why he just did this.

 

[sufferer]

I like pure hockey trades.

 

[Empoleon8771]

This is such a nothing trade that literally none of the insiders tweeted out anything before the trade happened.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Weird deal. Going to have to look at stats.

Great reclamation project for Edmonton. Has Spooner played C for New York?

 

[JT Kreider]

Unless Gorton is about to trade Hayes and Strome is taking over at 2C, I don't see how or why he just did this.

Or if it's a prelude to a trade for brother Dylan. Who I have minimal interest in at this point too.

Rangers like their busts don't they?

Change of scenery trade for both teams

The great Ryan swap of 2018

I don't get how or why that would be the case. Stranger things have happened though... we're talking about one of them right now.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I think I don’t hate this for the Oilers?

Really tough start for both guys. I think Spooner is the better offensive talent and that’s what we need right now.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Oilers get older and more expensive. edit: Rangers retaining so they make the same.

Without a couple letters in their last names being different these players would be indistinguishable to me. Maybe Spooner sucks a little less?

Change of scenery trade for both teams

Ryan strome is beyond the point of being saved by a change of scenery. Spooner still can be a decent top 6 forward
