Description

There has been a lot of debate on this site between Hawks fans and Leaf fans once again, this time about Dylan Strome. I decided to bring the discussion to Reddit to see what their users think of the situation, and the majority of Erie, Yotes and Hawks fans say that he has the tools to be an effective player, but he is very lazy and entitled. For example, he never goes into the boards to win a puck battle, never moves his legs away from the puck. I think if that's the case, it's going to be especially hard for CHI to try and get value for him because these are the worst types of players to deal with. He's not underdeveloped or lacking skill, he's just lazy.

This 1000%. If you insist like playing him as a grinder, he will be ineffective. He’s proven more than once that he’s a effective pivot among skilled players. Too often do people think playing a skill role is some kind of reward for “hard work”, when in reality it’s poor coaching through poor utilization.

or just "not dynamic". Some people just move faster.

Jason Spezza and Logan brown has been "accused" of the same things... They just have tall lanky bodies.

Tyler Ennis (5'9) and Cole Caufield look the exact opposite. Of course, smaller players will never look as lazy as tall lanky guys on TV...

Hard to believe we're still talking about that in (almost) 2022

Trade makes a lot of sense for both teams IMO, gives each guy a fresh start.
