BOS definitely has to throw a pick in for this trade, thinking not quiet as high as 2nd, I’d be happy with 3rd or 4th and JD for Strome. And I strongly believe bruins should pull the trigger for it if that’s what it takes.
As far as position, I mean you have to try Strome at 2C in Boston, he’s proven he can elevate his game when playing with more skilled players, similar to Haula, it’s honestly a cheap gamble and worse comes to worse you throw him down to 4C, little pricey for 4C but he’s worth it IMO and it’s not worse then paying a 3LW 3.6m
And I know everyone going to say he’s not a 2C, already been there multiple times, his play last few years doesn’t warrant him playing 2C I agree but I think he plenty capable of providing everything haula does and more currently and personally think he would turn out better the more he plays with hall and pasta,
Also been told he’s a defensive liability and numbers don’t lie he’s definitely not great two way player but think that’s an aspect of his game that can be worked on to be improved, no he’s not going to be the best at it ever but , making his line mates aware can help mitigate that as well
K sorry I’m done, short form I think it’s worth gamble for BOS to make this happen
