Proposal: Dylan Strome For Poehling [CHI & MTL]

[Archijerej]

who says no ?

How can we afford to add another $3M to our cap? Especially on a player of questionable value like Strome.

Are we going to ice an even worse defence next year?

Where would Montreal find money to sign him?

Probably by dumping a player they would be well advised to keep.

Strome is a bad fit on the Habs. prob a bad fit on most teams considering his turns are too poor to be a C in the NHL

Exactly.

Strome for Lehkonen and a 2nd makes way more sense for the Hawks

I bet it does. It doesn't for Montreal, though.

As MTL I d do Chiarot for Strome. MTL already has Savard and Edmunson and Romanov as physical shutdown Ds, they could spare Chiarot who can eat a lot of minutes but should not be used as a 1st pair Dman. Would CHI consider this ? Would other MTL fans consider this ?

If the idea behind acquiring Strome is to make us more competitive, I don't see how weakening our already questionable D is a way to do it.

Chiarot is our most valuable piece at trade deadline. Why would we move him for a reclamation project?

I’ll take Bennett any day over Strome. Bennett was buried in Calgary on the the third line. Almost ppg player in the playoffs and has already shown last year the difference when he went to Florida. Plus- much grittier

Bennett had loads of top 6 chances in Calgary, he just constantly took stupid penalties and made bad giveaways.

Is this really a trade that will change the direction of the Canadiens?

Why is that? You are moving a fairly redundant 26yo winger on your 4th line for a 24yo 2nd line center. Makes a lot of sense to me.

Lehkonen is not "fairly redundant". Some of our offensive wingers are.

Let’s see how this season plays out. Got a feeling his draft pedigree will be seen
