Thread: Habs and Yotes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>he might be under-performing for where he was drafted, but that's not even close to the same thing as Struggling. Struggling is a guy like Francis Perron in Ottawa, who went from 76 and 108 point seasons in the Q, to 26 and 15 point seasons in the AHL. Strome was over a point a game in his first pro season, and has clearly shown that his game breaking skill is going to translate just fine to the tougher Pro game.

I suspect he starts the season on the yotes 3rd line, and is playing either with Galch or Keller or both by the Deadline.</div></div>

Agree this is quiet possible and maybe more likely. Again my trade is totally based on Strome struggling at the start of this season and the Yotes organization really looking to make playoffs this year. Two large assumptions I know.

Thread: Habs and Yotes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MountRoyal514</b></div><div>This makes sense - Arizona drafting Hayton this year may be a signal they aren't sure Strome is going to bust out for them, but the Habs are desperate enough for centres that its worth a try.</div></div>

Premise of PAC and Strome+1st trade is Strome struggles in first few months of season which give Yotes more pause for when / what Strome will develop into. The 1st Rd pick is top 3 protected and included based on PAC extended.

It will certainly be interesting to see where Pacs ends up (assuming he does eventually get traded).

I see Ana, Arizona, Buf, Dal (reunite with Radoluv and another team that needs to make a step forward this year), maybe Chi, Fla (rumour for a while but with Hoffman there not as big of need on LW). More teams with interest at TDL if Habs hold on to him that long. NYR will take a look if he gets to UFA but don't see them making a trade for him.
