I like this roster. I just wish we could keep DeAngelo

Same for sure. Love the guy, but we have Keane and Lundkvist so he’s expendable and it vastly improved the team as he is a fillable loss unlike other positions.

I'll be really surprised if Strome nets a first rounder. He's clearly a product of Panarin's production- Rangers would be better served hanging on to him

CO needs to add slightly i think. Maybe a 2nd or 3rd, maybe a B/B- prospect. I think you can get a bit more for Fast, like a 2020 3rd and a 2022 3rd or 2021 4th. Strome is quickly playing himself into the 1st and a Prospect return range, especially looking at him as an RFA who the acquiring team can flip at the draft or keep as a non rental.

No thx. He can go, especially at his ask. First rounder is a the floor at his current production.

COL could add Sampa Ranta then. Fast should net slightly more just didn’t wanna get backlash, as for Strome, yes he’s definitely in the area of getting a first especially as a 26-year old RFA.

His current production is directly tied to playing with Panarin and the stats are there to prove it. NHL GM's can see right through the bull****. The only time he eclipsed the 35 point park was when he played with Tavares, every other season he's been at that level of production or lower. If his ask isn't above 4 million then why not resign him? Him and bread man obviously have great chemistry.

Can't see DAL (or frankly any team) giving up a 1st for Strome. At most they'd offer a 2nd and a prospect. The thing is, Strome is quite unlikely to be successful for DAL as he apparently needs a star LW to play with to actually flourish and DAL is pretty weak when it comes to offense...

Not a chance. We can’t afford him. And to be quite frank I’m sure there is GM willing to pay that price and I kinda of agree because I don’t think his production is sustainable.

Idk personally like the fit. Think he and Hintz could be good together.

You like the return. Most likely the two wouldn't be playing in the same line.

GM's are stingy with their draft picks, especially first rounders. Unless he's playing with a super star, Strome simply does not offer the production a first rounder commands. Go look at the numbers

the reason why the floor ask is a 1st rounder is because his production is better than kevin hayes was AND he's a RFA this summer, which means a second year of control. Honestly, my floor would be what they would get in an offer sheet if they gave him a qualifying offer of the 3.1m (1st and 3rd) and/or let it go to arbitration (at most he would get the william karlsson arbitration figure of 5.25m, probably less due to the fact Karlsson had 40+ goals)

Good luck with that. No one's paying that much. Guess he's sticking in NYR.

Take off the homer glasses and look at this bio

You would trade a first round pick for this guy? Better yet, you would sign him to an offer sheet, give up a first and third for this guy AND pay him north of 3.1 million? It's not happening.

Everyone said this about Kevin Hayes too, who was having a worse season. Stromes RFA and hell probably get north of 4.5m on his next deal

Agree to disagree.

This doesn't really make sense. So what's your reasoning for his numbers last season? No Panarin then... I would say that he actually just figured out his game finally.

Thats not true and proves you havent really even paid attention. The guy had 33 points in 63 games with the Rags last year WITHOUT Panarin. Sure Panarin helps, but the dude clearly has finally found his game.

What do you mean his numbers last season? 33 points in 63 games is something to get excited about now?

I do pay attention, I watch almost every game. Do yourself a favor and check out the guys over at Blueshirt Banter, specifically Adam Herman and Joe Fortunado. I find them to be a little over reactionary at times but they agree- Strome's "breakout" year is heavily contributed to Panarin's career year.
