What? 2 years is fine. He’s very tradable at $4.5M after this season.

I would basically guarantee that Strome is not a Ranger in 2 years.

One could even make the argument that if the Rangers don't have a replacement for Strome in two years (be it Chytil or an option not currently on the roster), we probably have some serious work to do.

Some states have no state income tax. There’s also general cost of living. A $5mm mansion in the NYC metro area might cost half that or less in St. Louis or Vegas or Detroit or Chicago etc. You get far less bang for your buck in NYC. At the same time, those places aren’t NYC. So you gotta find your value.

This is fine.
Hopefully Panarin boosts his point totals even farther, and some team coughs up a 1st rounder or B+ prospect for him.

Depends on a trade partner - one that considers keeping him long-term would appreciate a longer look see while contender that is looking for the depth for the playoff run might want an expiring contract.

Agreed, it's a fair deal. I think a lot of people are too hard on Strome. Is he a true #2 center? Maybe not on a deep team. But we aren't a deep team yet.
He made the most of his opportunity last year playing with Panarin. And got rewarded appropriately. I'd much rather have players that outperform their potential in the right role rather than the opposite. If he continues to improve, it's only a good thing.

It's a great deal. He's only 27. For all the complaints he gets, he's come here and played well above expectation for minimal money.

This is gonna be a big year for Chytil because as of right now, he's terrible at faceoffs, he's not a good defender, he's not physical, and outside of a flashy goal here and there, he's not very good offensively.
Pretty jazzed on this deal. I didn’t want him more than 2 years and the cap hit is relatively fair.
I’m by no means a Strome fan, he drives me crazy half the time. But I’ll always have a soft spot for guys that come to NYR and play their best hockey. Pouliot, Grabner, Boyle, Gaborik, etc. There are so few of them.

If Chytil takes the 2C spot right out of camp then we’re paying 4.5 mil to a 3C.. not a fan of that.

Um what? Chytil is most definitely physical. Especially on the forecheck.
That sounds like 15x better than Chytil failing to develop into a 2nd line center.
And now we have insurance to let him grow into that role. He’s probably going to play with Laf too, no?
2 years is a perfectly acceptable position for the Rangers. I think Strome got his dollar figure by trading the second year. I don’t think a two year contract, especially with expansion coming is the best possible length for a rising UFA. Strome probably saw the alternative as having to crawl back and accept the Rangers arbitration offer.

Even if Chytil wrestles the second line center spot away, you still have him as safeguard for a little bit and in that scenario you move him.
I really don't see it as a hindrance, or something that is blocking an upgrade at this particular time.

Meh. Not a big fan of the term. 1 year would have been better. Lack of center depth seems like the main reason we are holding onto him. Also seems like no trade offer blew the Rangers’ minds, or else I think he would be gone. Better to hope for similar production than to trade him for way below perceived market value.
