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

[Avery16]

Thoughts:

1) Strome is younger
2) Strome historically has a higher offensive upside
3) Strome is RHS
4) even though deal is salary neutral, should be cheaper for us or anyone else to extend Strome - that adds value
5) i was right about Spooner getting us a (former) 1st round pick
6) he’s #18, so maybe Staal is on way out

PLUS Strome a RFA at end of this contract. Spooner UFA.

The more I think about it, the more I could see Strome carving out a role here.

I trust Quinn and this organization to put Strome in a position to succeed much more than Edmonton, that’s for sure.

I’m with you, the more I think about it, the more I like it. We traded a guy who’s really inconsistent but has higher highs and lower lows for a guy who can be a Namestnikov/Fast level guy consistently in the bottom 6 (and maybe even more than that, but I’m not holding my breath)

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Zucc

God willing.

I think we barely won the trade consider age topic as well since Strome is 25, and I am aware it was a pre season OT win goal. However Ryan Strome need to figure out how to be productive for us and it might help him to come here to New York with a new team and coaches.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

He can't be worse than Spooner

To paraphrase the Hippocratic oath: first, do no harm.

I said it before but I am interested as well. First time this kid will play for a big boy organization with accountability and professionalism not the clown shows he grew up in.

Strome is going to come in here and do the same things hes been doing for Edm.

Much of nuttin

I mean hasn’t he been a pretty solid 30 pt center for them?

We didn’t trade eberle for him we just need him to be a good bottom 6 guy with some offense

 

[Crease]

Spooner was the hockey version of vanilla froyo.

So is it confirmed now that @NYR Viper is Jeff Gorton?

Speculation: - Roster Building Thread Part XV: Trading up or down? - Mod Warning post #450

“Since there isn't much news, would anyone do a deal centered around Ryan Strome for Ryan Spooner?”

I like this trade for us. Strome is a character guy. RHS. Can play on a depth line. I ridiculed PC for getting him and was on the bandwagon when he was trashed for being overrated. But perspective changes. Can he be a valuable depth guy? Think there are good prospects for that.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

IMO Spooner was a nothing asset the way he played this yeah. Hopefully Spooner can become something here. If not, oh well, but he’s a young high potential RH shot. Let’s tske a chance.

Him being a RH shot to put on the PP is very interesting.

I heard about this 2 weeks ago during the West Coast trip and mentioned it. I promised not to tell Any names to My source. These guys are very Adamant about things like this. And They frequent these boards. Now I am more trusted...

Why are these capitalized?... AMAT... "A"ssistant MATs Zucc next to go?

Did I crack the code?

This is just his second year with Edmonton. He did score 34 points last year with 13 goals. This year he has 2 points in 18 games.

He had a good "rookie" year (first full year) for the Isles and then the offense vanished

Hope you’re right. But I think you’re giving the Rangers a touch more credit than they deserve. Two words: A emmmmeffing V

I suspect, that first year, he was getting a lot of top line minutes. Probably on the ice with JT a lot. Maybe someone can find stats for that? If interested.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Watch Strome break out with us and another Chiarelli fail results from trading with the Metropolitan division.

I like the trade. Let's see what happens.

What are they going to call the new toy?

Stromsy?
Ry-Stro?

Google Strome

 

[egelband]

Strome wasn’t built in a day...

Anyhow, I was hoping Strome was at least really good at face offs. But alas, not so much.

 

[eco's bones]

We should have never given Spooner $4 mil per.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

I kinda like this deal besides the salary retention but I kinda wonder what deals Gorton left on the table at the draft/before signing Spooner

Stromesy is the most irritating hockey bro nickname I think I've ever heard. So it's Stromesy.
