Description
I wouldn't say the lines have anything to do with player rankings: Chytil is a better player than Strome, Kakko is better than Anderson, etc. The reason for the lines is that a) The format that has worked this year for Panarin is putting him with a pass heavy C and a defensive F. Strome (like his brother) is super pass heavy and Anderson is strong defensively. Also the goal here is to keep Chytil and Kakko together, they have good chemistry.

Why does Vegas do this deal?
1) To upgrade. Strome brings more offensively to the table than Tuch. He outscored Vegas' top 6 C's by 13 and 21 points respectively. "yes but he had Panarin's help" someone screams in the background. Panarin and Fast collectively put up 124 points.....which is less than both Smith/March combined AND Patches/Stone combined....The thinking goes, put him at 2C, and he's good for 80 points. Vegas is in win-now mode and it's unclear right now when/if Glass or Krebs will be ready for top 6 mins. Meanwhile, it's inconceivable that Tuch will have a spot in the top 6 without injury. Those wingers are pretty much set. And Tuch's big season last year featured him next to Pacioretty and Stastny....nothing to scoff at. As for $$, Strome is slated to make in the mid 5's. But with these times, who knows...

Why does NJ do this deal?
2. This deal makes sense if Subban gets the CBO. At that point, NJ needs a top pair RHD and they need to hit the cap min. Trouba makes in NJ, the prospect pool at RHD is thin (Reilly Walsh is really the only threat to touch the top 4 and he needs some time), And the cost of getting someone of Trouba's caliber elsewhere via trade is going to cost at least a 2020 1st AND a top Prospect +++. And via UFA the player will be about 5 years older with a similar cap hit. NJ gets their right side completely set for the future between Trouba/Severson, while Smith/Bahl take care of the left. And they avoid giving up a 1st, Anderson's spot in the lineup goes to Boqvist or Kuokkanen and the Devils don't miss a beat. Devil's made a deadline deal with the Rangers 2 years back and with the new GM in place, it seems like he's not at all afraid to trade with anybody in the division. And Trouba gets to stay in the NY area....

Why Does Chicago do this deal?
1. Chicago's trying to get bigger and more physical. Lemieux is that. Hajek is a solid prospect that NHL coaches seem to love and the 3rd being from Buffalo is probably a decently high 3rd. The value is right about there. Strome would normally be a 3C but he's only shown success when paired with 2 elite wingers, I figure we'll start him with 1 and see how he does.

The biggest hurdle here will be *next offseason* with 6 big RFA's on the table. That's why there's so much cap space left on the table.

Vegas would do that deal. I don't know why you would. Strome is better than Tuch.

I think there is a belief that Strome is a product of playing with Panarin based of what you read on here. Not an advanced stats guy so don't shoot me if i am misstating anything.

I am indifferent on trading Strome, him and Panarin whether he is a product of him or not seem to click. So it could be a mistake, however Tuch is someone I believe the Rangers would love to get their hands on. I do not watch Vegas religiously but when i do have an opportunity to watch him, he seems to play with a lot of physicality which i think some would argue that the Rangers lack.

Strome is better than Tuch offensively by a solid amount. Tuch is a good defender though and with Kakko opposite him at the wing, that seems necessary. Also positionally it makes sense. Strome's value is at C and if we're bringing in the other Strome and Chytil, keeping Ryan doesn't make sense. Tuch's also a NY native and Quinn seems to like big aggressive forecheckers like him.

If the deal seems tilted in NYR favor, feel free to adjust those picks til it seems right.

I would not say that just yet. Strome just had the season of his career while Tuch had his worst battling injuries this season. Other than this season, Strome has really just been average. Tuch can very easily go to his former self again. 52 points in 74 games last season is right there with Strome's production this season. And Tuch played lights out in their debut year to the finals. He's a great power forward which can be kinda rare these days. Centers are valuable but with Stastny, Karlsson and Glass, does Vegas really have the need? Value wise, I think the trade is fair.
