Well, there is little doubt that TDA, Buchnevich and Strome would be available in the right deal. It's a question of other GM's who are dumb year in and year out actually offer a solid deal to Gorton instead of the crap he usually receives.

sounds like nothing more than a guess
I’d be happy with Strome on a two year deal. Worst case, he gets exposed to Seattle. Best case he produces at a relative bargain rate. The long term decision whether to sign or keep him gets kicked down the road a year. I sincerely doubt he would sign a two year contract though.
Strome at 4 years only makes sense if you see him as a centerpiece of a Stanley Cup contending team. I’m not ready to sign up for that.

I am not debating how good or bad the Oilers were. I am simply stating that it was not working for him there. Full stop.
Again, Strome has not done anything but produce since he arrived here. That is spanning over a year.
Of course Panarin is the driving force of the line. There is not many lines that he would not be such a player, but this is where the views diverge. The very simplified "anyone can do it" theory does not really work. Otherwise go sign someone on an ECL and they will produce similar results.
Strome for a $5m for 2-4 years is not cap hell. It is the cost of doing smart business.

What an absurd statement
The worst thing is he goes back to being the 30 point player he's always been and we're paying him 5 million+ a year
I mean give me a break

Same - two year deal is optimal length. If not one year would be better than 3 or longer.

So we're just ignoring the multiple seasons of him being that player? He was glued to the MVP of the league, of course he was going to play better.
Just laughable how you guys are trying to spin this lol
Three or four years is our whole goddamned window. There's no situation that would take so long to evaluate.
Wrapping up Strome before addressing ADA or Buchnevich is malpractice.
This is just as relevant as being afraid that he goes back to being a 50 point player, which he was in the past
The Rangers have a player that meshes well with their best player and when paired with him produces on top-line level. You are right. There is no situation. The situation is just fine.
If Chytil steps up to be 2C at 23 or 24 instead of 22, it would not really shock me.
This opinion presents the same amount of weight if you were to sub in any of the other names instead of Strome. It is a viewpoint, nothing else.
Do I think that Strome is not part of the long term future? Probably not. Will he have place in the near to mid term? Quite possibly. And it is not like I want him here over DeAngelo. I have made my viewpoints pretty clear on this.

I don't care what he was before he got here. He was productive without Panarin here. What was Zibanejad before he got here?
And, as much as you long to dismiss it, Panarin was never a Hart finalist before playing with Strome.
What is truly laughable is how the anti-Strome brigade tries to tie itself into knots in explaining his production and how he truly is an inferior player.
You do know that Panarin was on pace to shatter all of his personal records, right?

Ya'll are killing me about Strome, I don't have the energy for this today
Not that it matters because Gorton will either dump him at the draft or give him a year and dump him at the deadline, so the conversation is moot
In other news, apparently Jimmy Hayes said on some podcast somewhere that Ottawa offered Tkachuk and 3OA for Lafreniere

Ah, the good old "Panarin has Strome to thank for the reason he was a Hart candidate". That one's always a good laugh

I don't know what that has to with anything. But I'll bite.
How about this? Panarin had the highest-scoring season of his career this season.
Maybe a player in a market like NYC stands out to reporters more than one in Columbus. His output was only marginally better than the previous season's with another team.
Which begs the question- why are we paying Panarin so much for what Strome is clearly accomplishing for him?

I'm glad that you enjoyed the laugh. It's important to laugh these days.
Whether or not you want to admit it, as easily as you want to to dismiss it, there is chemistry between to the two. Now, you can easily say "hell, anyone can play with Panarin and be productive." But that's not true. We've seen it time and again in this league that that's not the case. Look now further than what saw it here with Jagr after Nylander and Straka left.
