Those Hawks fans just are not very smart,
He has improved his skating tons since his draft.
- Stromers skating is good enough, no worries.
He has a good shot and uses it smartly, his passing is good/great,
his hockey IQ is good too, he is good at face-off, good PP player as well.
Stromer is still developing, yet to hit his full potential at NHL level
you got a good young 1C center

Looks like Dylan Strome betting on himself with this deal. I'm certain there were teams out there offering larger total contract value, especially if his brother's deal is any indication. I'm assuming he was promised PP time / 2C duties to put up points so he can cash in next year. Though I'm not sure that's wise - it's probably unlikely that he matches last year's productivity.
In the right situation he can definitely pile up the points. Great hands, good snapshot, sees the ice well. But his skating really hasn't improved much since junior. For a guy who is 6'3 200 lbs he has a remarkably little power in his stride and is softer than Johnny Gaudreau.
But like his brother, he can be productive alongside skilled play driving wingers, and has the surprising (and unique) ability to do so without holding them back too much, which is actually a pretty valuable trait. Unfortunately, Washington doesn't really have any of those...

Maybe there is a reason a player playing with P Kane and a 40 goalscorer not get resigned. Big holes in his game?

Personally, we sometimes overrate skating ability.
Lots of players can play well and produce well without even having godly skating ability. Some players even get to HOF with mediocre skating.
As long as he knew what he is good for and fit to the system, it's fine.
Since the Caps winger are mostly top-club player or champions calibre, Strome will have no problem to fit in.

I thought he had some potential yesterday while he was a free agent. Now the he didn't sign with my team I've remembered how truly terrible he is.

Yes, that's why he was picked up on the 3rd day of FA for one year. Because none of the NHL GMs have it figured out but you do.

Strome on your top line is a good way of missing the playoffs.

Or maybe you should just trust your own scouting staff rather than trying to figure out what the Blackhawks are doing. Especially after Jones and DeBrincat trades.

Projectipn; big belpw average skating offensive C, that isnt physichal in boardbattles, doing his job, nothing more, coming in at 57 pts playing PP with Ovie.
Imagine if he was engaged in boardbattles.

Strome has a lot of "I don't give a damn" in his game. I think he'll put up points in Washington but he's going to disappear for long stretches. Chicago should not have dumped him for nothing, but they are currently subscribed to the tactics of scorched earth.

I'm sorry. I wrote the wrong numbers those were expected goals forced not percentage. The percentage was around 48% the last two years. So not nearly as bad but for someone getting less than half the expected goals with 70% O zone starts with Patrick Kane as his most frequent linemate that's still not very good. Definitely backs up my statement that he needs to be heavily sheltered and play with quality linemates.

RIP Fugu
He will put up pts, occasionally head to front of net and win some faceoffs
On other hand he is slow, pretty bad defensively and his effort is at times appalling
He will be frustrating player in DC as he was frustrating player to watch in Chicago
