Well, he's younger, and is coming off an ELC so he has more cost-control. Has put up some promising numbers in his first three seasons. I would do it for those reasons alone, but I dont know why Winnipeg wouldn't just re-sign him. I haven't seen anywhere that he's available.

Maybe Gorton's plan is to get Strome on one year then next season Chytil takes 2C and Henriksson comes over for 3C. They seem to really like Henriksson.

Has he put up promising numbers though? I don't think so, aside from a 30 game stretch when he first came up. For comparison, Chytil's numbers the last two years are about the same, but Chytil is two years younger.
I think Roslovic is capable of playing the 3C slot, but it doesn't solve any of our problems. He's certainly not a likely Strome replacement.
sam bennett is garbage. I don't know why you are so obsessed with a 4th line player lol
Back to Chytil as I feel again there is an impatience with him a recently turned 21 year old centerman. He’s going to get better folks.
but let’s have some fun with numbers.
when given a top 2 center role in the AHL for a team notorious for not being able to score. Fil Chytil put up 40 points 14 goals 26 assists mind you in 55 games. That’s as a BABY. That includes his short stint last year of 9 pts 3 goals 6 assts in 9 games. As a recently turned 20 year old.
when given a consistent top 2 center role while Mika was on the mend at 20 years old Chytil put up 9 pts in 13 games. With tremendous analytics and more than a few point blank pavel Buchnevich missed opps that should have been goals.
Fil Chytil at 21 is going to take another step. He is a center he is a horse of a center that drives entries with some of the best of them. PATIENCE

This is also my biggest issue with Strome. Sure he had chemistry with Panarin and credit to him for being good in the offensive zone with him but his defensive play is so putrid that it overshadows his offense for me.
The amount of times he would noticeably dog it and it lead directly to a A+ chance or a goal against is mind boggling. He backchecks like he doesn't care, constantly lackadaisical in the defensive zone and he takes tons of lazy penalties. The eye test shows this and the stats back it up. His lazy and disinterested backchecking and defensive zone play was probably the most infuriating thing about last season. You have Panarin, a Hart candidate player who busts his ass all game in all 3 zones and then Strome is the less talented and less successful player and he's the lazy one? Ridiculous. You'd think watching Panarin bust his ass every night all over the ice would make Strome do the same.
I think he's a fine 3C who can play sheltered minutes and put up some PP points. But the idea that he's going to be a 2C on a championship team just isn't realistic with his all around game being considered. It's like Quinn thinks he's a Derek Stepan type of player. Truth is though, even if he produces like Derek Stepan, he's not a Derek Stepan type of all around, all situation player.
he’s listed as a wing and has played wing and only has moved to center when needed in which he can’t defend so they put him back to wing. He’s no center
dailyfaceoff shows him as the 2RW (atleast for their last game) and he only took 148 faceoffs this year.

If he were available, and if the cost wasn't prohibitive, why not play Chytil at 2C and Roslovic at 3C?

He can take shifts at C but has mostly been used as a wing. Depends on how Gorton/JD see him.
he's been pretty trash the last few years so a buyout wouldn't be surprising...definitely a low risk/high reward option to look at if he gets bought out. but not really a big fan.
I think management knows Strome is not the guy. I don’t think they’re fooled by the points. I think they know he can’t be that guy going forward but I also think and people aren’t going to like it that they believe Howden is a 3C right now.
I could see wennberg coming in as insurance and to lineup as a 4C to start but I will not be surprised to see Chytil Howden as 2C/3C to start next season if they feel they can’t get the ideal center at the right price and term.
