Dylan Strome has finally arrived

[SeanMoneyHands]

2015 #3 overall pick Dylan Strome is peaking right now and he's on another level this year. He's been a huge factor why Ovy is on pace for 58 goals this year. This kid has elite hockey IQ.

Is he underrated?

"Pfftt I could do what he's doing if I got to pass to the greatest goal scorer of all-time."

-Ryan Strome, probably

thanks Chicago

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Shrewd signing by Washington. Got a top 3 pick for free basically.

 

[ItWasJustified]

It's time he repaid Ovie for all the goals Ovie assisted him last year.

 

[Muffinalt]

In before Musto orgasm.

I get Chicago was rebuilding when they let him go but why weren’t they able to trade him for something? Or resign on a short deal with the intention of playing him a lot, to boost his value and trade him for a boat load of picks at the following deadline or offseason. I was surprised when they let him go for nothing but I hadn’t watched him much in Chicago so I assumed they knew he was mostly a product of playing with Kane similar to many other hawks forwards throughout the years. But he’s obviously im Washington he’s proven Chicago wrong and letting him go for nothing seems more puzzling than ever. Either was it’s been great to see him with Ovechkin finally live up to his draft pedigree.

It was reported multiple times that the Hawks tried to trade him for 2 years and nobody wanted to offer value.

Do you have any idea why?

Do you have any idea why?

Because he's literally the definition of empty offense. When he's not on the scoresheet, he does nothing well. Also, he's about as slow as can be for someone who sticks in the NHL.

Ovechkin, the team’s captain, brought his two line-mates in for a film study of their shifts against the Vegas Golden Knights to try and spark a connection between the three. All they have done since is fill up the net.
“We just watched the whole game and talked about where we can find each other on the ice and where we can be more open,” Strome said Tuesday. “After the third or fourth game, it’s kind of been clicking a lot better.

Alex Ovechkin brought his linemates in for a private film study. All they’ve done since is average more than a goal per game.

The Washington Capitals have exploded offensively to start the 2024-25 season, and a lot of that success has come on the backs…

Do you have any idea why?

He looked like a bust. He was inches away of not playing in the NHL. It's like asking why Dallas didn't trade Nichushkin, for example.

 

[BKarchitect]

He’s been great but we literally just had this thread a few days ago on this board, might want to just combine into the go-to Dylan Strome breakout thread…

Dylan Strome

 

[Ignatius]

Dylan will get an apple on Ovi's record-breaking goal, book it.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

But if you read HFboards guys don't get better after 23-24 years of age how is this even possible

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

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.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

Should villages beware? Fire can burn my Victorian-style thatch hut.

 

[All Mod Cons]

I am absolutely floored we haven't had a Strome vs Marner Poll yet.

I did a double take when I saw that he got his 20th and 21st assists tonight. Finally breaking out.

 

[Yasuo]

He look like Joe Thornton out there

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good for Dylan

3 more years at 5 million a year after this. The contract is looking insane.

 

[Realgud]

We didn't listen!

 

[Seras]

this would be awesome, strome would easily win 2:1

He is also leading the league in +/- and is tied for 2nd in even strength points with Mackinnon. If the Capitals power play can get going his numbers will be even better, they have 4 of the top 11 players in the league in even strength points.
