Quoting: cbalzer28
Woops I thought it was 2 years of Brodin but you can always resign him he's young, and it will probably be 1 year of Strome as well.
I just think the way the offseason is going right now that they wouldnt be able to agree on a 4 or 5 year deal with Strome. I would expect a 1 year or maybe 2 year deal because of cap space and the uncertainty of what he really is still. Specifically without Panarin on his wing and his rough defensive metrics/Penalties.
You can't just resign a UFA that easily...I wouldn't bank on doing that, especially because that same year you also have to sign Chytil, Buch, Igor, Lindgren, and more!
The reasons for the Rangers to deal Strome are
a) He blocks Chytil whose development into the top 6 is paramount
and
b) Rangers are in a slight cap crunch needing to sign Deangelo long term, so because Strome would be a 3C on this team, it doesn't make sense for the Rangers to sign him,
However, there are plenty of teams where Strome
would be the 2C: Winnipeg, Anaheim, Columbus, Detroit, Florida, just to name a few.
Find a team with a hole at 2C and a solid 3C to spare. work out the difference in picks. go from there.
