Do the other two goals he scored this game say anything?
He has a beautiful slap shot.

Hard and accurate, tough to ask for more than that.
All goes well, there will be multiple Oiler/Isle cup finals in the next decade.
....so what I've gotten from this thread is that a sick shootout goal in a prospect game decidedly makes him the most talented prospect of the draft?
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here..
What? Have you not seen something similar to this by Jurco, Kadri, any list of halfway decent danglers in shootouts in the past 3 years?
It's a shootout goal on a prospect goalie..it's not really that impressive if you think about it.
Schremp needed motivation, and he was pretty much never motivated with the Isles.
He looked alright last season with the thrashers though. Like he got waived and it finally dawned on him that he actually needed to try.
In one rookie scrimmage Strome put on more effort than Schremp did in his rookie year.
I've been saying it this whole time; this kid is going to be the most skilled player out of this draft.
Yeah, I laughed at those that said RNH 'shiftiness' or 'playmaking' was the most 'skilled' player in the draft.
Ryan Strome is like Tim Connolly on steroids, he could be as skilled as Dennis Savard. He is that crafty and has that wow factor individual talent. He is more of an individual talent than RNH who\s skills is more suited towards making other better. One on one skills is a no contest, Strome all the way.
All he needs to do is just show something in the NHL and translate some of that game quick and I will crown him as the player with most upside in the draft.
This kid can SHOOT a damn one time like no other. That is why I don't think he will fail in the NHL. The NHL is more a showman league than the minors. Players that electrify the crowd become big starts quick and feed on the confidence. I see him blasting 1 timers on the PP early in his career.
Sweet goal, Isles got another great piece in the system.
No worries, Garth Snow will find a way to screw it up.

Yeah!
Like he did with...um...hmmmm.
Could you maybe come up with an example of when he screwed up before?
Sure, remember that little 15 year contract he gave to an injury prone Rick Dipietro? Yes, that was for someone who was already having concussion and knee problems...
Or maybe that little Nabokov incident last year where after being told that Nabokov would not play on the Island, Snow still went ahead and claimed him off waivers, awesome, I guess he thought he could win him over with his charm.
