Not sure if Stome has earned that kind of money to this point in his career.

Looking that term, I think it's a risk that could turn extremely bad or extremely favorable for them...

Yes I agree although I personally think with what Dach has shown, the Hawks should be listening to offers for Strome. He could for sure get back a nice return.

I also wonder if Stome should be shifted to play left wing instead of Center.

They’ve had him playing right wing recently because DCat is LW.

No way does he take that term as well. I been reading the ballpark will fall between $4 - 5 M. I suspect the term will be 3 years like DeBrincat.

I like your thinking, but it is too early, imo, to automatically give Dach 2C. Shows great promise, but he must produce. Before the Hawks put Strome on the block, Dach has to be a consistent scorer. What wrong with keeping Strome, and the team is solid down the middle?
