Dylan Strome Appreciation Thread 2

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Skating impacts everything. It impacts offense and defense.

I don't agree that he's a 2C, any time he's put up against tough matchups, he's dominated.

He's still going to put up 60-75 pts/82 even with the skating issues. That has value.

 

[JaegerDice]

Sheltered 2c and on the PP.

Then we need a 3C and a 4C that we don't need to shelter.

 

[BK]

Then we need a 3C and a 4C that we don't need to shelter.

That is why I said trade him?

I would move Strome and try to acquire Ericsson Ek (nice idea Musto) or sign a Haula type for the 3c role. We have Suter signed and Evan Barratt coming as well.

 

[JaegerDice]

I'm not sure how many teams want a 2C that needs to be sheltered, since most teams don't have a Patrick Kane and deploy like the Blackhawks do.

We shall see.

I think a lot of people are overestimating his value.

Teams like MN that lack scoring will want a player like him.

I’d bet a lot money that he will never score 70 or more.

He was on pace for 73 after getting traded to the Hawks in Nov. 2018.

I know. I follow Hawks.

 

[Blackhawks]

Sheltered 2c and on the PP.

We don’t need sheltered slow molasses players, only players who get a pass like that are offensively elite guys such as Kane or McDavid, Strome is garbage he makes the team worse, time to go, him occupying a spot on this team is a waste of a spot even at 1M/Yr salary

 

[BK]

We don’t need sheltered players who are not elite offensively such as Kane or McDavid, he makes the team worse, time to go

At no point do I say we should keep him, I actually say the opposite.

 

[Blackhawks]

About time, remember all the time you defended him and ridiculed my posts of me calling him out when he was trash game in game out?

I have never been a huge Strome guy. I had hope for him after his first season but I was never was a huge defender of him. He is not a trash player so your posts are still wrong. He has legit NHL skills and can make an impact but he has to be sheltered as a 2c and be on the PP.

Aren't you from Ottawa?
Pretty sure Fiddy is.

He is indeed. In fact i was sure I spotted the illusive Fiddy one day a year ago in an Ottawa grocery wearing a leather Blackhawk jacket.
Though I lived many year in Vancouver I have been north of Ottawa in the country for 12 years now and so have a soft spot for the Sens.

Wait did you really see 50? Was he mumbling to himself and typing on a Nokia phone?

OMG! he was! Especially the mumbling ...

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Whether or not the Hawks should keep Strome for another year depends on how much he costs IMO. If you can get him for $3M or less, fine. After $3M, I'd trade him. He cannot cost you Saad.

Maatta/Smith, fine. Saad, no.

BTW trading for a young goalie ready to start and letting Crawford walk is another option people aren't thinking of.

What's the cost for Georgiev?

 

[RememberTheRoar]

I’d bet a lot money that he will never score 70 or more.

I’d be right there with you.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

I’d be right there with you.

He was on pace for 54 this year despite being both injured and ineffective for some time.
Depending on icetime somwhere in the 70-75 point range is his max, but he's probably a lock for around 65 in a full, healthy season with a decent PP and top 6 minutes.

That’s fine. I’d still put my money on the under 70.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

I think he does it a couple times in the right situation. Not here though. Not enough minutes/PP time.

I get what you're saying though. 60 point centers are hard to find. That's what makes him valuable.

If he goes to a rebuilding team that can give him 1C minutes and PP1 time, I think he can put up 70+. Otherwise, subtract 10 and you're right.

 

[Kevin Musto]

I don't know if the Rangers are necessarily in the market for Dylan Strome, but I wonder if they'd be interested in trading Georgiev + Andersson for him.

I think Lias Andersson is well suited for a bottom 6 role, and Georgiev fixes our goalie problem at least for the time being.

Are you okay? No fever or anything? Don't have covid?

 

[featherhawk]

not sure that Georgiev is a guy I would target, he does not seem to have NHL starter written all over him and we have enough of those guys in the system already...

 

[RememberTheRoar]

I got it. Strome for Phil Danault!

If only.
