You do realize LD's team is better than Strome's, right?
He (and Morrissey) carried the Prince Albert Raiders in his draft year. There were no other forwards on that team bringing any offense.

Nope... Even BEFORE the lottery, I didn't want the Oilers picking Strome. I wanted Hanifin or Marner.
I want good players who carry bad teams (Voracek) rather than good players on great teams (see Sam Gagner with Patrick Kane). That 2007 draft I want a redo on![]()
Every page of the Strome thread should have a note showing:
Strome had 35 points in the 21 games McDavid missed. That'd be good for 113 points over a 68 game season, only 16 points less than he got with McDavid on the first line for 47 games.
Yet then he is at a much lower pace than Marner & obviously McDavid. Plus, he's facing teams with their top players going to WJC also during that time.

Anyways, just heard on TSN radio that Arizona's guy is Strome
Is he playing tonight? Man, he is a ghost. Total non factor thus far. He is floating and playing on the perimeter.
I don't see what other people see. Ihave seen him 4 times not to impressed.
I think zacha goes before him.
I'm with you. But you're forgetting Arizona picks ahead of us...In a sick way I'm glad he's being shut down like this. Hopefully the Leafs see enough and take Hanifin or Marner.

JVR can be that guy to provide the compete, it's just he's gonna have to work on doing it consistently.
Everyone says strome won the scoring championship because he plays with mcdavid. Well how many of mcdavids points were because of strome the door swings both ways
As a Leafs fan, I hope that Arizona takes him so that we can`t.
He just doesn`t have it -- whatever you want to define it as, Strome is devoid of it. If we draft him and put him with JVR, we`ll have succeeded in assembling the softest big-boy line in hockey.
If Strome is 6`0 instead of 6`3, is anyone even considering him ahead of Marner?
