Confirmed with Link: Oilers re-sign Ryan Strome (2 years $3.1 m AAV)

[CantHaveTkachev]

because he sucks?

your opinion

he's a useful player...and a RH centre as well

 

[Soli]

And still an RFA eh? Alright.

 

[Arpeggio]

That's fine. I liked Strome at times last year, I think there's still a chance he progresses and has a little breakout year at some point. Ideally he could play higher in the lineup as a winger, but if all he is is a third line centre, that's fine too.

 

[PaPaDee]

Really hope he can bring his game next year. I wasn't very impressed by him this past season.

He got a bit more than some other forwards but being a center and a right shot carries a bit of a premium, always does

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Look fair. 0.1 to get an extra year on the deal seems like good risk.


If he can take a step forward, that's a really nice looking deal for a middle 6'er.

 

[StevenF1919]

600k too much.

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

Well

If its a $3.1M AAV that's alright given he was qualified at $3M. Hopefully he's one of those guys that performs better with a bit of security.

 

[CycloneSweep]

600k too much.

Prove it.

 

[Del Preston]

$4,978,834 left in cap space for Nurse, a 14th forward, and bonuses.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Maroon > Strome
shouldve walked away

Maroon is a winger (who still has no deal).

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

600k too much.

Insert eye roll here.
Any contract that Chiarelli signs is too much in your eyes.

 

[Draiskull]

your opinion

he's a useful player...and a RH centre as well

yes. it is only my opinion
He is not even a real C, horrible on the dot, nor is he fast, nor is he gritty, cant PK, cant PP, couldnt click with McD.

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

Pretty much what I expected. Let’s see if he can build off of next season.

I had no time for him after the eberle trade, but he slowly won me over as a third line C

 

[PaPaDee]

600k too much.

Once he was qualified, this is about as good as you could hope for. Although personally, I may have not qualified him and tried to sign him as a UFA at a reduced rate.

1M too much IMO.

 

[StevenF1919]

Prove it.

Riley Nash got 2.75 and he's better than Strome.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

3.1 and his deal ends as an RFA? Excellent.

 

[Draiskull]

Maroon is a winger (who still has no deal).

so what? RNH, McDavid, Draisaitl, Khaira and Brodziak are all Cs.

 

[sepHF]

Riley Nash got 2.75 and he's better than Strome.

is he though?

He's also 29 and Strome is 24

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Riley Nash got 2.75 and he's better than Strome.

when Riley Nash was 24, he was shuffling between the AHL and NHL

 

[StevenF1919]

Insert eye roll here.
Any contract that Chiarelli signs is too much in your eyes.

That extra money given to Draisaitl, Lucic, Russell, Koskinen, Kassian, and Strome is starting to add up. They're right up against the cap with no room to improve a dogshit roster.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Riley Nash got 2.75 and he's better than Strome.

Nash is 29 and his career high was 25 points before last season. Everyone knew last season was probably a one-off, including Nash’s agent apparently.

 

[oXo Cube]

Strome at 2.75 is not how the real world works.

Qualifying offer.

 

[StevenF1919]

is he though?

He's also 29 and Strome is 24

Strome has been in the league for 5 years. He's not going to improve.
