My personal knock on Stranges is his lack of tennacity in puck pursuit/posession. Once he loses posession, he has this tendancy to give up on the play, and makes minimal effort toward getting it back. He has the skating ability to become a real pain to play against, if he'd just develop that level of tennacity. Once he has posession, he does have a level of creativity and a better-than-average passing ability. He can snipe, given time and space, and his backhand is a skill that many players at this level, haven't developed comparably.
His unorthodox skating style is something that does set him apart, but he tends to be too reliant on it. I suspect that it also makes him highly seceptable to a knee-on-knee injury, and should that occur, he might lose his effectiveness. It might be advantageous for him to work on his straight ahead style and initial strides.
