Keeping Georgiev means doing the right thing: move Heaven and Earth to get Hank his cup win and move forward with both young, quality goaltenders. Colorado comes to mind: they can afford a 50%-retained Lundqvist for the final year of his deal, and they're a damn good team now.
Strome is not a guy you want playing #2C long-term. He's a career #3C that's been overperforming right when he's due for a raise. He's absolutely a piece you move at the deadline to increase draft capital. If the Blackhawks cannot get out of their salary cap hell by the draft, there's an argument to be made for the Rangers trading this year's high 1st Round Pick and a selection of prospects to pull Dylan Strome out of Chicago. If you needed a capable #2C or a guy that could grow to become a #1C, he might be your guy.
