???????????I agree for sure. Far from Strome’s biggest fan, but he is just playing so much better. A real breakout.
But, he Strome really taking like the same deal as Benny Pouliot took from EDM in 2014? I am just afraid of his price tag being close to 8m per than 5m...
Strome has more points this year than Poiliot ever had in any season of his career
Poiliot signed his deal of 5 years at 4 million per year, and he was an unrestricted free agent at the time. We acquired Poiliot as a free agent, whereas we acquired Strome via trade, and Strome is a RFA at the end of his current contract... Without getting into the vast differences in playstyle (center vs winger also), league cap numbers, roles, competing offers, etc...
There is really no comparison at all to be made other than that they are both once highly drafted players that played in Edmonton at some point prior to playing to New York
