Keeping in mind, he was one day away from being a 2019 draftee, he’s trending very well as a project pick.

If he slipped to this years draft, where do you think he would have gone after his last OHL season?
It’s hard to say. The stock booster was that he was still 17 and up with the Leafs late in the preseason last year. The OHL season was not what was expected of him, and frankly his stock probably would’ve been similar, around the 3rd round range, maybe even later based on being on being one of the oldest in the class and only scoring a handful of goals. Glad to see him back on track and soaring with Robertson and Kirk now,
I’m a Leafs fan who doesn’t suckle the teet of every prospect we have. SDA will never be an NHLer and Liljegren is nothing more than bottom pairing dman. I love Sandin, Robertson and many others we’ve picked.
And with that you are blocked. The only posts I see you make are shitposting anything Leaf related and frankly I'm tired of seeing it.
You have no f***ing clue what you are talking about and you are making wild judgments about young players.
See ya loser

Seems to be a good playermaker, but the lack of goals seems concenring. 6 in 60, 2 in 12 so far
Dude has terrific vision and really good hands. I think he has pretty good defensive instincts too. Good skater, though not explosive - at the NHL level his skating could be seen as a slight weakness at his size. And obviously his main weaknesses are size and goal scoring - he's small and has a mediocre shot that he doesn't use much.
I feel very unsure about how he'll turn out. He's got the potential to be a good middle 6 forward, but could also fail to make it in the NHL. In terms of Leafs prospects, I feel that Sandin, Robertson, and to a lesser extent Liljegren are all strong bets to be quality NHLers, while SDR is way more up in the air.

For a kid that size, he has to be a good skater to make it. He is the most overrated prospect on these boards. His skating reminds me of Kyle Beach.

Not terrible. It doesn't help that he plays on a line with one of the better skaters in the league
Lots of slick, slight productive junior centres never have a whiff of the NHL. Leafs might have one with the Marlies...Brooks.
I remember a slight centre with Peterborough was questioned if he had the "toughs" to make in the rough NHL back in the 80s. Steve Yzerman.

Sure.
Matthew Strome was a terrible skater in the OHL when drafted just a few years ago.
It's stupid to think there are not terrible skaters in Jr.

Is he actually a terrible skater though? When I have seen him it looks to me like he has good edge work he is just lacking straight line speed. To me that isn't what I would classify as a terrible skater.

Peter Worrells skating and Ryan Strome’s skating in junior are not comparable, try again.

Do you even know what you are responding to?
I responded to someone saying "I don't think he would be in the OHL if he was a terrible skater". Well Strome 100% was a terrible skater in the OHL the last 3 years. It's what is keeping him from being effective in the AHL let alone the NHL. He has the hands, the size, the IQ, but can't move quick enough.
In no way am I saying SDA skates like them as I have not watched him. But I am 100% certain there are terrible skaters in the OHL..and all 3 Jr leagues. And the team I follow drafted one just a few years ago in Strome.
Case closed.
He's a small dude. Hasn't matured physically yet it seems.
As he does, he'll add power to his legs, and he'll become more explosive.
Not in anyway worried with his skating
