Dylan Strome has finally arrived

He reminds me of Marc Savard. Small center but an elite pass.

Dylan Strome is 6’3, 200 lbs. Not what I would call small…

He's bigger than Savard. I think the closest is RNH if RNH actually developed as the playmaking center he was drafted to be

For a while recently he was struggling, seeming to try to do too much, which is often a recipe for not doing anything. Holding on to the puck too long, trying to force things. He’s gotten better every year he’s been with the Capitals, and even with this cold spell he’s well on his way to easily a career year.

Luckily over the same period of time PLD stepped up and scored over a PPG in the games Ovechkin was out, which really helped carry the load.

First 18 games 22.3% on ice s% 5on5
Next 16 games 5.4% on ice s% 5on5

It was clear he'd hit a cold streak sooner or later, way too much puck luck early on. Also the caps PP in their first 18 games was about 16% and went to 28% their next 16. That's about a 75% improvement.
