Another Strome?!

Another Strome?!

This is exactly what I just said, out loud.

 

[Mach85]

All I've heard is that he's an expected high pick for the 2015 OHL Draft...but so was Jared Staal in his year.

 

[Plastic Joseph]

He didn't make team Ontario for the Canada Games team, so he likely isn't on the same level as his brothers at the same age.

Staal Brothers 2.0

 

[Johnny GODreau]

I hear that the 4th Strome is the best of them all.

 

[thrillhous]

He's 6'2" already so that's a good frame to build on and he's certainly coming from good bloodlines...

 

[Lehkonen4Calder]

He remind me of Jared staal (hope he can get on his brothers level unlike Staal)

 

[leafsfan5]

another one?

 

[So Truculent]

Nylanders and Stromes...I can see us now

 

[Zaddy]

Asked about him a while back in some other thread. Apparently he's not as good as the other brothers and, like them, his skating is a work in progress. Should still be a decent player when it's all said and done though I would assume.

Another Strome?!

Jeez their parents were busy

 

[RyanOhReally]

Isn't Matt Strome the best one? Like how the Subban's see Jordan, the Strome's believe that Matt could be the best one.

Isn't Matt Strome the best one? Like how the Subban's see Jordan, the Strome's believe that Matt could be the best one.

Or like when Jared was supossed to be the most talentend Staal?

At this point in time, absolutely zero chance Matt Strome becomes as good as his brothers. He has good height and a good frame to build on, but his skating is more than just a work in progress, it's downright bad. He has good hockey sense and knows where to be, but just lacks the footspeed to get there a lot of the time. He is good along the wall though and has some jam to his game. I don't think he has the skill his brothers had either, but shows some good vision while in possession. I think he's a second-third round pick this year, but will probably struggle mightily next year if he plays as a 16 year old. Other than his name, I don't see him being much of a prospect for the 2017 NHL Draft.

 

[Leviathan899]

I'm basing this off of around 15 live views this season.

 

[chunkylover53]

I remember reading an article about the Stromes and the McLeods Anyone care to evaluate them? Especially the McLeods since I'm not aware of them. What are the NHL chances?

 

[Maplebeasts]

I don't think Matt compares favourably with Ryan or Dylan. He is obviously less talented at the same age and has the weakest skating of the them as well. I view him as a possible 2nd round guy in this draft, and that's only if he can fix his skating. In terms of ceiling/potential, I would rank them:

Dylan
Ryan



Matt

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Windsor is supposed to draft him apparently.

 

[Mach85]

Captained his team to the OHL Cup by scoring the winner and adding an assist.

 

[SeenSchenn2]

I hear that the 4th Strome is the best of them all.

Nice. I got this reference.

 

[Woodhouse]

 

[Passchendaele]

All played in the GTMMHL

Just for comparison's sake:

Ryan - 76 GP - 41 G - 63 A - 104 PTS
Dylan - 60 GP - 65 G - 78 A - 143 PTS
Matthew - 64 GP - 23 G - 37 A - 60 PTS

Might end up with a similar amount of points as Dylan's rookie season. I wonder how close the two are at the same stage, never watched Matthew play. The previous post made it seem like they're worlds appart but Matthew is having a pretty good rookie season, among the top of all 99 born rookies.
