QU! Bobcats!
From the Sharks, there's not much interest because the players you won't want to move will be the ones we would want (Hertl, Jones, Pavelski). We're not in a position to sell (i.e. prospects for Strome). We're good enough to compete if we make the right moves.
Essentially, the only player I'd be willing to trade Strome for (and of course add) would be Nikita Kucherov.
NHL GM's aren't going to give up the type of player(s) necessary to obtain a player high on potential but low on production thus far.
And the Islanders, rightly, aren't going to sell low on Strome. Instead, why don't they stop messing with him.....lock him in at 3C and stay the course.

By the same token the player you won't want to move would be the only one we'd want for Kucherov. Namely, Tavares.

It was reported just after this season's playoffs, that Snow had gotten post playoff calls from other GMs asking if Strome was available . Snow quickly shutdown those trade attempts. Isles have no interest in trading the 22/23 yr old.
So. No. Your offers of 2nd tier talent holds no interest.

No bud. Calgary could NOT get Strome for Backlund. Try offering something that the isles actually covet.

What would the Isles want from the Habs ? Montréal needs to trade for Strome if available and have him on the second line, dump DD and move Plekanec to the 3rd line. It would be huge.

Only a matter of time before JVR was brought up.
I'm a huge fan of Strome. Would love to have him on the Sharks. But yeah, wouldn't trade Hertl or Jones for him and Pavelski is untouchable as it's possible to be.

A very young, nhl scoring forward with 1st line upside.
Kind of like a young Ryan Strome.

His rookie season he would have been 3rd in points on Toronto.... more than the vaunted Nazim Kadri and six less then generational talent JVR.

He was a very similar player to Galchenyuk, before last year when he had a sophomore slump and Alex broke out.
Isles have no reason to move him, and because of the season he had compared to the potential he has they wouldn't get the right value for him.

I've always been told put up or shut up. If you wanna make a deal your gonna need to make concessions

This is 90% of why Nielsen was let go IMO
Right now the center depth is Tavares/Grabovski/Strome/Cizikas.

Staple said it's Tavares/Nelson/Strome/Cizikas. He also said Grabovski might not be ready for the start of the season.
Also if Barzal makes the team it will be interesting to see where he lines up.

Gotta disagree with the idea that Frans Nielsen was ' let go'.
Snow tried stringing Nielsen along because the new majority owners wanted to make a run at Stamkos. I think just 7-10 days before July 1st, it was reported that Snow and Nielsen's rep were making real progress on an extension. Nielsen had said months before how badly he wanted to stay.
Nielsen imo soured on Snow's actions and after TB extended Stamkos,Snow tried turning back to Nielsen who no longer wanted any part of Snow and the isles.
I would not call that the isles letting Nielsen go.
New owners want to make Isles a world class destination for players? But this is how Snow does business. Seems there is something wrong.
Snow could play Strome's situation same as he did with Bailey. Bailey didn't sign his qualifier after his ELC expired. His agent then signed a 2 year extension on the last possible day for peanuts. Kind of world class slavery. New owners and nothing has changed.
