Description

I keep hearing that the Leafs want to trade for a forward and some names include Alex Iafallo, Brendan Lemieux and Taylor Hall. A guy who came across my mind is Dylan Strome, who has surprisingly become a really good play driver at even strength plus is a local kid who's close to Mitch Marner.

Now the purpose of this move would to put the super line back together. They were unstoppable during the small sample size that they played last season, I'd imagine they can become the best line in hockey if they played full time.

I also hope reuniting Marner and Strome in a more sheltered role would help rejuvenate Marner's season. So far he's really struggled to get to his game. Just floating around in the defensive zone and not really getting involved when his team has the puck. It honestly seems like he is not able to handle the pressure of playing in Toronto.

I only say that because he loved Conor Sheary (username) and always undervalued Marner. Checks off all the boxes.

That's what I was thinking too.

Yes I did change my username.

Fair enough. I heard the asking price for Strome was a 1st so that's what I offered.

I think that was a mid or earlier pick in last year's draft. A late 1st is a bag of magic beans in this draft's first round isn't deep.

Seems like a lot to pay for Strome, who, unfortunately, is no sure thing, not even as a 2C, and there is still a fair chance that the Leafs may not finish in the top-4 of their Northern Division and make the playoffs, which means that 1st rounder would a pretty sweet pickup in another deep yet quite undiscovered draft class (due to covid restrictions). If the Leafs were going to move a pretty good prospect and a 1st, it better be for a significant upgrade and that's not how I would describe Strome at all.

That’s true the division is pretty wide open this year. But I think Strome is a proven player. He’s centering the 2nd line in CHI and his results have been pretty good over the past 2 seasons.
