Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XLV

[Fitzy]

He doesn’t even really bring them. They are gifted to him.

No other center on our current roster besides Mika would have scored as many as Strome playing with Panarin.

It's like saying Rucchin would have scored 80 points playing with Jagr in 05-06 and 06-07. Just not true. Chemistry matters even if the talent balance is off. Think Brendan Morrison on the west coast express line with Naslund and Bertuzzi. There's a reason it wasn't Trevor Linden or Henrik Sedin on that line.

Hes not gagner....gagner was only of any use on the pp. People are way too salty about Strome. It's ok to say hes a good player.

Eh, Gagner still had 320 points at even strength. Strome’s a fine player, but he’s not someone who you need to bend over to keep on a team

He is if you have nobody to replace him

He’s not when the role he’s playing is second fiddle to Panarin and when bending over To keep him could mean losing a more important piece of the roster

Can we mute words on HF?

 

[Chytilmania]

Then who is our 2nd line Center if we don't keep Strome and Chytil isn't ready? Definitely don't want Howden at 3C if Chytil moves up.

Ya he's a fine player who will get paid as such, I don't know what the issue is, he isn't getting superstar money and if he can complete a 2nd line which he has proven, without giving up assets I have no idea what the problem is.

If Buch starts balding, he will 100% be Lenin.

I don’t really want to wade too deep into the Strome arguments, but Strome feels like a Sam Gagner to me in that he’s a pretty good passer but he’s not very good at anything else

This is too accurate lol

It’s astounding to me how little Strome gives a f*** about playing defense

He was 3rd among our forwards in PK ice time per game.

That doesn't mean he's good at it, but it says something about the coach's perspective.

Also takes key faceoffs, plays #1 pp.

Which is all the more maddening because Quinn uses him like he's a good defensive forward.

Please, this is such a horrible comparison. Strome doesn’t fit in with any of those names.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

If he wasnt on this team everyone would be making trades for him.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Strome's roll on PP 1 is by far the least significant of all the guys on there.

If he wasn't on the team, he's probably his usual 35-40 point self. I don't see this fan base beating down the doors for a guy like that.

 

[duhmetreE]

We need another LHS on the PP. Whether its Buch or Kakko... they need to be slotted in.

With his willingness to shoot last game ( yes its only 1 game ) I'd like to see Kakko.

 

[duhmetreE]

Kreider Zibs Buch
Panarin Strome Kakko
Gauthier Chytil Fast
PDG Howden McKegg

please and thank you.

if he is a 70 point guy here, why do I care what he would do on another team by himself? and if he gets removed from panarin and becomes a 40 point 3C thats still not bad
