It's crazy how many chances that strome gets in a game though. Every game he seems to just miss the net.
Speculation: 2024-25 Roster Thread

Yeah, I'm sick of the "this is a young team" narrative from Hazy when the Ducks don't play well.
I'll fall back to the narrative I used when the Ducks had that dreadful stretch in January - the team looks completely unmotivated and that's on the coaching staff. They look disinterested and unprepared.
Is it? If they feel these games are as meaningful as they say they are shouldn't that be enough to motivate them?
He just got suspended for the 3rd time this season. I’m so fing excited for this kid
Anaheim Ducks Top Prospect Suspended For Slew Foot
The <a href="https://thehockeynews.com/ohl">Ontario Hockey League</a> suspended one of the league's most skilled forwards, and it's a suspect decision at best.
Strome is a low-to-mid teen goals and 40-50 point career guy.
This year he is pacing for low teens goals and 40-50 points.
That’s why he makes 5M. We are getting exactly the guy we paid for. I don’t understand people who expect him to be something different.
Hopefully not. He needs to get bigger.
Also, the goal is to add a legit top 6 wing, Likely replacing Killorn.

Where are you going to put Sennecke? Also, let’s see what Pastujov and Nesterenko can do.
I actually haven't minded Strome at all this year for the most part, he just picked the absolute worst time to be playing his worst hockey of the season. Although that entire line hasn't been clicking for what feels like several weeks.
That's an important distinction as I don't think it's very realistic unless somehow Verbeek can pull off a deal. Free agency doesn't look very fruitful in that regard this offseason.
If only this organization had someone in place to proactively do something about that
A fair point, but I also don’t see next year’s Sennecke displacing Killorn next year either.
Oh I don't either. Is there an expectation Killorn is going to get moved down in the lineup next year?
Depends on a lot of factors.
I will say though that trotting out Killorn on the top line next year at 36 years old isn’t a great way to improve on the margins going into a season. And I’m a big Killorn fan. He’s a fine player to have on your team and a good leader/someone that people respect but we have to seriously try to win games at some point
If we strike out on top 6 upgrades, I think we should be experimenting with Gauthier/Colangelo much higher in the lineup next season personally.
I don’t want Sennecke anywhere near the NHL next season
