Not bad on value at all for what they bring on ice, with Yamo a better tenacious forechecker, and Strome showing a longer record of decent offense (last season aside, like Yamo), and the C position versatility.
My issue is the cap hit difference: 3 mil with ARB rights next season for Strome, whereas Yamo has no ARB rights right now. I'd expect there will be a 2 year deal at 2mil or under, or a 3 year deal at 2.5 mil or under. Yamo's likely cap situation is way better for the Oil as Nurse's big contract kicks in, and Puljujarvi needs a new deal next season. So for that reason, best for the Oil to keep Yamo.
