Proposal: Ryan Strome UFA

[Dreakmur]

Can he play goal, is he a RHD or what does he bring to the 4th line.

Other than that he need not apply.

We need wingers for lines 2 though 4.

 

[Menzinger]

Think he'll be too pricy. Maybe if the team didn't already have Tavares it would be worth considering. The team wj likely try and target more of a bottom six center and some aggressive wingers with what capspace they opt to spend on additional forwards this free agency

 

[Maplebeasts]

No thanks.

 

[Commander Clueless]

If Dubas somehow manages to sort out our goaltending and fill out our D with cap to spare, I'd consider it.

However I think even in that scenario Strome will likely price himself out of our range. We need some depth.


A big factor will be Muzzin and Mrazek. Both might be moved for space, or possibly spend big chunks of time on LTIR as they can't seem to stay healthy. Major impact on available cap.

Leafs really need to get goaltending and forward grunts out of the free agent market first and foremost. What they don't have the cap space for is a forward possibly able to demand over $4M aav. However there is a real possibility that some productive NHL forwards may get frozen out of the big money since there are so many this time around.

He's gonna be 5-6M for 5 years I imagine.

 

[Cams]

Gaudreau, Malkin, Bergeron, Kadri, Forsberg, Kane, Giroux, Perron, Trocheck, Marchment, Nichushkin, Domi, Palat, Niederrieter, Rakell

I have most of this list ahead of him. But, I think he'd be a fine addition.

Gaudreau, Malkin, Forsberg, Kadri are likely out of the price range availalbe. Giroux and Bergeron could both hang 'em up potentially. Marchment is likely a one year wonder. Palat would be interesting, but of these guys above Trochek and Neiderreiter are the most intriguing to me. As for Strome.......no.

I wonder about that. In an environment where guys like Zacha, D. Strome and other random RFAs are rumoured to be not getting their QO’s, is there a lot of money in the system for $6 million to Ryan Strome?

Everyone needs centres so I think so...just will need a real good winger or 2 to help, not really a play driver. I think Trochek is the better investment personally.
