I thought the same thing about Strome and contact. He really laid back and retreated instead of being hit a few times in the corner. I'm hoping that he can be like Kane where he is able to use his noggin to keep him out of those areas, but hopefully he goes into them a bit more when the seasons starts. Last season he didn't like contact either (who does I guess) but he still stood in there to make the play.
yeah, maybe he will change, but for now, he looks much more comfortable as a center. i like the kid line, partly because he is with two guys that have good size, and can work the corners and cycle good. the only issue u see with Strome at C, is who is going to play RW?
Strome definitely played braver when he had CMc and MM on his wings.
i am liking Lee more and more. dare i say, he reminds me of Gillies. not a clone mind you, but similar. haven't seen his nasty side yet, but he doesn't appear to be intimidated in any way.
i think that Martin is more valuable than many here do, and don't think that he should be traded. he would be much better than Boulton as our 13th guy.
Boulton, CMc and Conacher to the minors. all three are UFA's next year. keep Strome, Lee, Bailey and Grabner.
i am just rambling. too early for coherent thoughts..
