Dylan Strome has finally arrived

[Peasy]

Washington is still on an insane PDO bender right now, itll even out. Should be interesting to see if hes a ppg type of guy going forward after this season though. (shooting 12.4% even strength, highest last year was 9.6% - Vancouver. With an average of 30 sog a game, thats nearly an entire goal difference)

There will be regression but they are going to be an elite offense all year.

He's panning out to his full potential this season and has shown to be quite underrated.

Washington sure got a steal on his contact.

As I remember, his full potential was an elite 1C. Like upside was a top 10-15 center in the league who was good at everything except skating. Is that really the case? Or does he just look capable of holding his own as a first line center?

Just wait until they call up Matt Strome from Hershey…

He's absolutely an elite 1C. I thought before the season he'd end up being a top 20 C; now, I'm thinking top 15. (He's currently 6th in P/G among players listed as centers, so saying he'll end up top 15 is taking into account some regression.)

He was on the borderline last season, IMO, but he was on a horrific offensive team so his numbers didn't show it.

He's still not an amazing skater, but despite prior comments, he's very solid defensively. (It's easy to see if you watch him regularly, but for those who want numbers: he plays on a line with Ovi and they're doing really well 5v5, so who do you think is playing defense on that line?)

I think it's backstrom actually and it's just a really good disguise. They gave him stem cells and facial surgery so he looks like 2010 backstrom again.
