Confirmed with Link: [EDM/NYR] Ryan Strome for Ryan Spooner

[egelband]

Strome is to Staal as Staal is to Sutter.

That 2016 3rd rounder was used to pick this guy:

Another bust.


WOW what a disgusting resume. How does Chiarelli still have a job

 

[Bluto]

I like this trade. Worst case scenario we have a 30 point defensively responsible center.
Best case he regains form and makes chia look like a moron.
Spooner was brandon pirri 2.0. At least strome can be a dom Moore kinda guy.

 

[Kovalev27]

What will be interesting is when Buchnevich comes back.

Lias Strome Fast could be a real 4th line. Like one that actually could contribute.

 

[Tawnos]

I really have no feelings about this deal.

A Zuccarello trade would really clear things up at that point.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Yuck. Hate Strome. Hated him since he was still a blue chip prospect, hate him even more now that he’s a proven bust. Don’t care about Spooner but don’t want Strome on this team.

 

[GAGLine]

Ah yes the ol' useless for useless trade

Gorton ****ed up not trading Spooner for picks this summer.

Which teams were offering Gorton picks for Spooner?

What will be interesting is when Buchnevich comes back.

Lias Strome Fast could be a real 4th line. Like one that actually could contribute.

When McLoud is actually used as a 13th forward it'll be a nice thing to see

Lias Strome Fast could be a real 4th line. Like one that actually could contribute.

I would be significantly less mad online if Lias was cutting his teeth with those line mates as opposed to Vinny Letteri and Cody McLeod.

 

[Thirty One]

Same. Unless it’s just for this season in which case it’s probably not so bad. But couldn’t the Rangers have just taken back an extra crap contract?

You can’t be selective in which years you retain on. All of them or none of them.

 

[Tawnos]

I have no real handle on how good of a skater Strome is. Average? Above average? Bad?

Bad.

 

[Tawnos]

Bad.

Are you sure? I thought that too, but then realized I was thinking of his brother.

 

[NYR Viper]

There were rumors that the Rangers liked Strome before he was dealt to Edmonton. My guess is the Rangers were looking to bring him in because they have seen something in him. They would have caught quite a few games of his while in NY.

It's interesting a bit because many fans thought his brother Dylan was going to be a Ranger as part of the Stepan deal but the Rangers received ADA (good?).

I think there is more for him to tap into. In Edmonton he wasn't exactly playing with good players. The depth in NY is far better. It also gives the Rangers another guy who can play center on a regular basis. Spooner was not that.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Are you sure? I thought that too, but then realized I was thinking of his brother.

Yes, I'm sure. They're both bad skaters.

 

[ujju2]

Don't expect much in the way of offensive production, but fwiw I think this is a fair deal for both teams. Strome has a lot of the intangibles but little of the tangibles, if that makes any sense. Good defensively, decent enough passer, not afraid of a physical game, seems like a good guy and will stick up for teammates, etc. Good luck to him back in New York.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

I would have liked to see Spooner get some time with Hayes before any move was made. I thought they some chemistry last year.

 

[Tawnos]

Yes, I'm sure. They're both bad skaters.

Well, then I might move into the "don't like this deal" category.

 

[NYR94]

I knew it was going to be Spooner when I read Strome was traded to the Rangers. Godspeed Spoonman.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Well, then I might move into the "don't like this deal" category.

He out-corsi's Spooner by quite a lot if that's any consolation - and he's right handed and can PK.

 

[BBKers]

Good trade

 

[Lays]

All Strome’s are bad skaters

 

[cwede]

for NYR 3 small benefits -
Strome is younger, RHS, and (per CF) will be RFA after next season.
Letting Quinn try to reestablish a 25-yr old ex-5th overall seems a no-lose to me.
Don't love the retention.
