That's a worse return than getting Thomson, I'd take it too. Thomson isn't enough for Strome and you're negotiating a worse deal, hilarious
You do realize it usually takes a minimum of 3 years to develop a prospect drafted high in the second round?
Not everyone is going to be as lucky as Shane Pinto.
Ottawa needs to compete sooner or later and maybe having a NHL ready player within 2 years like Lassi is better than having none.
Odds that a 2nd round pick plays more than a 100 NHL games are only 35%.

Lassi Thomson is the guy we drafted with a first round pick after getting burned with the Matt Duchene debacle.
And you give it up just like that?
If Strome is a quality player for you, I wonder who else would qualify.
Here's a question:
Is the difference between Lassi Thomson and a second round pick a 4th round pick?
In other words, does ...
Lassi Thomson - Ottawa's 2nd = Chicago's 4th?
Last time I checked, it costs another 2nd round pick minimum to go from 32nd overall to 19th overall.

And that's assuming Ottawa's 2nd for 2022 is 32nd overall, which it won't be.
I win the Dylan Strome trade hands down while you're getting fleeced.
Welcome to unignore lol.
