That is where any similarity ends. Hagelin at his best was never like what Strome has been since he got here. He has nothing to do with what Strome would get in a deal.

And will point out again, that it is not a certainty that Strome gets moved.
i hope he forces the Rangers to resign him. plays with grit as well which is needed and he good skill.
 
resign Strome

he is worth it


Meh. I'd rather just trade him while his value is sky high. The way Chytil is playing it's pointless to have Strome play 3rd line center. Move him to a contender for a 1st and decent prospect. If he is around a PPG player by the deadline he will fetch that.

That's probably the right way to go about it, however if he could keep this up it would be nice to be able to have 3 lines with Panarin, Zibanejad on separate lines with Kreider-Chytil-Buch as the 2nd line. That's nice depth.

i rather have more depth on the Rangers, Rangers should get something for Fast and Kreider if and when they will trade them.

if they offer a 1st for Strome I will be shocked and would send him packing. Strome is one of the few top 9 forwards that is willing to play tough and in your face. need more players with emotion on this team. Kreider has the emotion of a wet paper towel that is falling apart.
 
I keep Strome on a one year deal. Give some of our kids some more time to take that third line role. Trade him at the deadline next year as a rental

I would like to keep him but how do we fit him and DeAngelo and Lemieux under the cap.

A. Why is it pointless? Do you mean for this season or long-term? If a contender were to look for Strome then why the Rangers wouldn’t too price permitting when they are (that and that time should be coming soon)?
B. Even short term there’s a spot for him now to continue to be available in case of injury and give lineup protection to Chytil, Kakko and Howden as needed. Kreider move will open up a spot too.
C. His versatility (position-wise and a type of game), and apparent fit for the system and chemistry with multiple players make him very important now.
D. He will be RFA for another year after this season so Rangers are more in control over his compensation

Trade strome kreider and fasth.

That'll save room for byfield kravtsov and Taylor hall next year
The only thing Hall is good for is getting his teams lottery picks. He has to be the league leader in that

I don't know if you were joking but I want nothing to do with Hall
 
With the way Strome is able to facilitate the puck and finish chances created by Panarin, it’s possible the Rangers have found their version of Kunitz to Crosby or Dupuis to Crosby. Those guys who weren’t 1st liners but complimented him well. They were paid lower salaries allowing them to balance their scoring lines. If this continues, I’d at least consider something like a 3 year deal for $4m or so per season. Maybe a bit more.

This is more of a long term thing for when the Rangers are competing and am going to admit that I was wrong on something and put my foot in my mouth here. I used to arduously defend the viewpoint that there is no way that Panarin does not play with ZBad. You have an elite winger and a border line elite center, of course they are going to play them together. ZBad's injury has actually shown that you do not need an elite center to play with Panarin. With Quinn announcing that Strome is not going anywhere, that means that ZBad goes to the second line and recreates the Rangers top line from last year.

IF (big if) Strome is having a coming out party and IF Gorton & JD decide to bring him back at a reasonable contract, the fact that the Rangers will be competing with ZBad as the second line center is huge.

Again, that is for down the line in several years when they are getting ready to be a competitive team.

I think these conversations are very difficult to have to until we see how things shake out with Zibanejad back in the lineup.

He's not going anywhere any time soon, but I also don't know if I see Chytil or Howden sliding down to the fourth line either.

So a lot depends on how Strome and Chytil adjust when Zibanejad comes back. And the performance of the latter, and how it relates to his next contract, is likely going to be a factor as well.
 
When Ziba comes back, should we move Strome to Wing on that line? I'm not necessarily a fan of 3 RH shots on the same line but...

Panarin Ziba Strome
Kreider Chytil Buch
Lemiux Howden KK
Smith McKegg Fast

I guess the question is would you rather have Strome or Fast as 1RW?
 
If you trade Strome this deadline, you lose insulation for the other younger players at C. But if they hang onto him and sign him to a 1 year deal, as is the Rangers luck, I'm sure his production will completely fall off a cliff and they'll get significantly less than they could have this year

If some team wants to trade a first for him though, I'd do it no doubt. Even a second and good prospect I'd do.

I don't see Strome as a core piece going forward, and if you can get more capital to acquire an impact player down the line, you trade him.

And the other aspect is if Chytil takes the 2C spot, paying Strome upwards of 4 million+ to be a 3C isn't ideal

Yeah, Imo we either sign him for 1 year or someone offers us a return that's too good to pass up. I'm ok with either, just definitely don't want to see them giving him a long term deal based on his current pace.

i think they like Chytil and Howden too much to sign him long term.
 
Ultimately, I think they move him --- probably in the off-season. I just keep getting a feeling that Strome/Georgiev could end up in a deal together like Stepan/Raanta.

I think there are a number of factors that will come into play: Chytil taking the next steps, Zibanejad being healthy and having established he's the real deal, and the fact that Strome's contact, even at a reasonable rate, might be needed to re-up ADA and/or bring in a support piece that isn't a center.

Obviously, my hope is that he drives up his value as high as possible and helps the Rangers as long as he's here. I also don't consider it be an automatic no-brainer to move him. But when push comes to shove, I think the above factors probably lead to a move.
