my guess is he will get 60+ points right away.


Do you have any sort of substance to support this claim? Not "oh he had x points in Juniors...". I'm talking players who replicated the same production as you predict Strome to have

isn't over 2 points a game good?

no ... you never know, Strome might turn into a Yakupov, but the chances are low ...


chances are also low that he wins the calder


then why are Kellers chances so high?

DeBrincat is a 2 point per game player as well on the stacked Otters. That means he is destined for greatness no matter what, right?

So, you're saying anyone drafted high or picks up a lot of points in junior will be good? That's not how it works

Palat (good stats only in last possible draft year)
Karlsson
Benn

According to your logic, Yakupov should be a superstar and Brian Hart is a beast


no ... you never know, Strome might turn into a Yakupov, but the chances are low ...


Maybe he's a late bloomer, but he should have locked down a spot in the NHL last season. I went to the prospects game for the Coyotes, and Keller was a dominant force while Strome looked like he wasn't trying. That's the same issue he had in the NHL last season. He looks uninterested in being a professional hockey player. That's an extremely bad sign for a player expected to be a #1 center in the NHL. Keller is the centerpiece of their forward group now, not Strome.

He wasn't even injured for the Coyotes. Keller is the much more dynamic, offensively gifted, new age player. I'm sure phillyjabroni would be more than willing to pull up some crazy advanced stats to show that Keller is much better than Strome. Keller dominated at the WJC where Strome was just decent. Keller averaged over a PPG his freshman year (which is especially impressive since college hockey is much harder to score in) and then he had 2 assists in three NHL games at the end of the season. Not only that, but Keller was all over the ice, dictating play in the offensive and neutral zone, and demonstrating his high hockey-IQ. All things that Strome has failed to do in the NHL, even when he was given every opportunity to stick with the Coyotes
