Sometimes the windows get foggy and rolling them up and down helps.
Glad were on the same page on that, at least. Some people here insist he is first-line talent.

True. I still don't care who wins if it's not the Rangers. The one thing I tend to root for when the Rangers are out is for a team to win a Cup who hasn't won it yet. Can't believe we got back to back new champions in 2018 and 2019. That was fun
Defrost'll do fine.
When it's getting that cold, you should be running the car for a bit before you get going anyway.

Yep. And it’s a decent raise, to be fair. It’s a 500k raise, isn’t it? And if I remember, before last season he was considered overpaid. Big picture, it’s not all that crazy. 5.7m, though...
Yeah but I’m not one of those people, so why quote me and mention it?
From what I’ve seen, most of the arguments supporting Strome don’t see him as a bonafide 2C either, but rather a serviceable stop gap because of his chemistry he has with Panarin combined with our lack of depth at Center.
Because I haven’t seen you assert the bolded, and your argument suggested that Strome is some kind of cog that is worth the opportunity cost of a 4.5 or higher contract.
Who exactly is blocking him? And before we talk about delaying someone's development, can they first show that he is ready for the NHL as opposed to not even being ready to take a regular shift at the AHL?
Or Gorton did not see a return that made sense to him to deal Strome.
Am beginning to think that Strome bullied you as a kid
Can you show one single post where ANYONE even came close to suggesting that?

No one is trading anything for Ryan Strome
At the deadline maybe but right now it’s not happening. If it was possibly Gorton would have done it
And frankly imagine defending Strome at this point. Like it’s clear as day even the Rangers don’t want him, they’re just kinda stuck with him for another year

I said I don’t have a problem with Strome on a 1 year deal in the mid 4M’s. I then went on to say if Chytil can solidify himself as the teams 2C at some point this year, Gorton can flip Strome for some type of asset.
Not sure why you’re butthurt over this opinion of mine.
I’m sorry you take someone disagreeing with a post so personally. If you’re that sensitive, why post at all? There’ll be a lot of disappointment on your end.

I think they value him for another year, maybe two, if at the right number. It’s purely a business question- how much better does he make the team than an alternative or alternatives at a lesser cost? This is, after all, a business- and one where a decision of this magnitude has 2nd and 3rd order consequences. Ignore those, as so many on here do, and you are more or less locked in to bad decisions.
But yes, GMs are not lining up around the block to improve their club with Ryan Strome at 4.5 million.

Why are they stuck with him. Walk away and sign a center from those still available. Strome is a one year rental and has no future on a team rebuilding. You can slot someone else in there for cheaper money and get the same production probably. Listen I wouldn't mind even Brassard on a 1 year deal. Strome is not that good so why not let him walk.
Strome is our #2C this year at the very least.
For better or worse unless Chytil can take over that spot?
Get used to the idea..

Strome shooting for the moon is not unforeseen. Rangers price is close to what I thought would be. Split the difference and the Rangers probably can walk away as it should just hit the threshold. Granlund for a year could be an ideal replacement. Check in with Brass on a cheap deal as well, maybe he'd be willing to come back.
I really think Strome will regret not settling at like 4.2.... he won’t get a lot as a ufa
There’s also a chance Strome’s award is on the low end, like Bertuzzi’s, or we walk and Strome claims our 3.6 offer. Either would be a win.
Most possible outcomes have us winning, actually. The only way we get screwed is an award significantly over our offer but just less than the walk-away floor.
