Is there anyone more happy than Strome this season? Dude is traded to an Original 6 team, gets to live in the kick ass city of Chicago while playing in the Madhouse every other night and has been a ppg player since arriving. The smile on his face must be permanently etched.
i'm sure he'll work on it but he can survive without being an elite skater. if he plays with guys like debrincat and makes quick decisions and moves the puck you can play behind the bullet and be effective. he is gonna be damn good i think, this trade was a welcoming slap in the faceI'll admit he's been better than I expected. Though I'm still not thrilled with his skating (hopefully he works on it in the off-season).
The instant chemistry with Debrincat, old teammates from the Otters, has been cool to watch.
arizona has been the kiss of death this year good lordWhy is everyone calling Chayka an idiot for this? Are people just unaware that Schmaltz was Arizona’s highest scoring player before getting injured?
He looks like a top 3 pick

It's amazing how many bad trades the Hawks have made (or were forced into with cap issues) - but then every year or 2 they'll have 4 new guys coming out of nowhere. Honestly, they have some developmental system in place there. And it's been consistently great.
Counting his assist tonight his last 14 games
5 goals + 17 assists for 22 pts
He might have been wrong about that but not the numbers. Good player but definitely not playing at a level that screams sustainable ppg guy.Tfw when people make grand pronouncements while having no idea who Strome’s linemates are.
I'm not sold yet. He's playing with the probable Art Ross champion attached to his hip in Kane.
His On-Ice numbers are bad and his Shooting Percentages have skyrocketed. He's gonna fall back down toward Earth, need to see how far down he settles when it all gets corrected.
