Why do I constantly see Schremps name in relation to Strome? Isn't Strome like 4 inches taller & a far superior skater & willing to go into the corners or infront of the net? That doesn't sound like the Schremp I've watched.
I recently got the NHL Vault which allows you to watch past games and man do I not miss Schremp at all
. He did regress from year 1 on the Island to year 2 and the talent around him increased which made him more expendable and his offensive skills didn't stand out anymore. And as you pointed out, his lack of interest in the corners/boards, driving to the net and defensive play made him and easy target for the waiver wire. His passing skills and powerplay skills are terrific though, it should be able to be enough to get a job as a depth 3rd liner and pp specialist.
And based on what I've read, Strome is not like that.
And also, it is getting a bit annoying that whenever a player makes a nice move in the SO he gets related to Schremp.
