Confirmed with Link: Training Camp 2018

[TheLegend]

Final rosters have to be in by tomorrow.

Is Strome on our opening night roster?

 

[Fyreman]

I'm still worried Galchenyuk's week to week turns into months. That happens a lot around here.

Heck, I'm hoping he returns by DECEMBER. I bet it's a groin or hamstring issue, I tore both and it took me about a month to not feel any pain. HOWEVER, him being a professional athlete, I'm sure they DO NOT want a re-injury, which would be devastating.

 

[Mosby]

I really don't like this player but thoughts on Strome for Alex Nylander? He fills a need at RW, if anything.

I’ve nver been impressed with Alex Nylander. I’ve usually been impressed with Dylan Strome.

 

[Mosby]

Same. Just trying to identify other prospects who made need a change. This is 3 years where Nylander has failed to make the Sabres. But he hasn't looked very good in the A either.

 

[rt]

I’d be surprised if Strome is traded any time before mid-November. He has some time to prove he’s worth hanging onto.

 

[Jagged Ice]

He has time to prove he's worth hanging onto. Lets hope he gets a chance to show that playing with some skilled players and not limited with 4th line minutes and 4th line talent.
Let's not forget how he played in Tucson last year and how he finished the season with the Coyotes.

I’m a Strome fan. I think he should be given opportunities with favorable ice time in favorable situations with favorable linemates. I don’t believe the head coach believes in the player and I don’t believe the head coach is interested in giving him worthwhile opportunities.

 

[Mosby]

I don't know. I think Tocchet is pretty open minded. This is sounding like Duclair all over again.

Yup. On the fourth line with Archibald. We all know Archibald will be on the roster.

You hit the nail on the head.

It's a little weird to have prominent young players bounce off an organization on a pretty consistent basis, especially if some go on to success elsewhere. It's not normal.

Tocchet doesn't seem open minded at all. He has Andrew Brunette and wants another Keller.

 

[Mosby]

Have we moved out any young players aside from Domi and Duclair? I don't care players from the Maloney/Tippett era.

We won the Duclair deal. Domi for Galchenyuk TBD.

Domi for Galchenyuk looks like a win on paper, but the jury is still out. If we don't jerk him around like Michel Therrien and Claude Julien did then he should thrive here.

 

[Heldig]

A bit worried about Murphy passing thru waivers.

This is exactly my opinion on Strome. Get out of my head!

Success elsewhere=Runblad/Gormley/Duke, anyone else kill it elsewhere? You guys are funny, first Tip was an idiot with young players, now its Tocc. If Strome doesn't make it here, he won't elsewhere either (In the NHL). It's not the teacher, its the student

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Strome is just going to take some time...it is just now that his skating looks adequate. Now, he really needs to work on gaining strength...we all want him to have immediate success, especially because he was the 3rd overall pick, but the most likely scenario is that he won't hit his stride until 3yrs from now. We need to be patient with him and he could turn out to be a 50-60pt C, that will go along with our other 50-60pt C (Hayton, Stepan, Dvorak). The good news is that we've got a lot of guys that will put up pts in that range, and the good news is that you don't have to be paying gobs of money out to multiple players.

We've got Keller & OEL that will be earning big $$, hopefully Chucky does well too and we can pay him. But we as an organization can't afford too many guys that are superstars, so maybe by having a lot of really good depth will be cheap enough to keep for a long time.

Honestly, immediate success was 2 years ago.

New strategy: Target prospects at the draft that are unlikely to have big cap hits in their future. Moneyball 2 point oh?

 

[Mosby]

Maloney blacklisted Russians. Hopefully Chayka blacklisted poor skaters.

But Hayton tho...?

 

[Mosby]

True. But I think Hayton's skating is way better than Strome's, especially if you compare to when Dylan was at 18.

 

[Edenjung]

I’m getting impatient.

We’ve now blown two top five picks on centers who may not even be nhl players, yet alone good ones.

everybody makes choices that can fire backwards, but i believe in him. He can play good. and we need someone who helps him to play good.

Let him play second line for a few games (5-6) and give the man ice time.
