Could be a timing thing. Say the teams acquiring him want to see what else shakes loose in free agency and the Rangers are working on a deal that would eat up Strome's cap space. They give him the QO and the trade market fizzles out. Trade goes through and Strome gets an arbitration award they can't walk away from and are now in cap trouble.

I dont think they dislike Strome... but they sure as hell dont like him at $5M caphit...
If they're eyeing a guy like Lindholm with a similar cap hit, it seems like poor value.
We're nearly at the cap limit with bonuses... Is Ryan Strome worth dead cap space next year?

It's all so tiresome
I heard we were thinking of bringing this Swedish veteran Henry Blumqvist over for league minimum to replace Georgiev. No cap circumvention.
If they don’t want to give a 70 pt center that has chemistry with panarin 5 million it’s because they don’t like his game. That’s a bargain. He’s just an awful player in every other aspect
We have Gorton as GM. Not Sather.
Gorton has been terrific at managing his assets. He’s not going to let Strome walk for free.
Some of you guys are getting your panties in a bunch for no reason lol.

The QO counts against the cap during the offseason, which is 81.5 mil + 10%. That's not an issue though, as we won't get close to that. If he doesn't end up signing a contract, then yes, it doesn't count during the season. The problem is that he is arbitration eligible, and will almost certainly elect arbitration. That means he will be awarded a 1 year contract by an arbitrator if we can't work something out. If the award is high enough, we can walk away, but if not, we're stuck with it. So if we QO him and we can't trade him, then he'll very likely end up on the cap.
Just remember this...
Last summer we hoped to get Fox, thought we might get Trouba or Panarin (not both) and hope to win the Lottery. Gorton pulled off an inside straight and get all four.
I don’t think he is going to be satisfied with going through the summer and Signing Eric Haula.

This is true, but not qualifying him while the others got QO's is a bit of a brow raiser.

theres a difference between being a 70pts center and scoring on a 70pts pace playing with Panarin
NoQuitInNewMexico
it's okay cause it's all just the way it should be
I know he was linked to us about 69 times but was it all pre-Gorts?
edit: Gorton has been GM since 2015? Man, time flies/I am so bad with time

This is a bad hockey team.
Johnson does nothing for me.

Which is why you can give him a QO and trade him...before the season. Not giving him a QO makes zero sense.

I think there was probably less than 8% chance that all four of those events occurred.
what are you arguing exactly? That they like him they just don’t want him? I don’t get it. If they liked him 5 mil is not a crazy number for him. They don’t

I believe the likelihood that nobody would trade even a 7th round pick for him at ~4.5M to be essentially zero (and that is before considering we could retain 50% on the deal to up the return). I am perfectly willing to take that risk.
