Thread: Strome Cat package trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>You missed my points, those 3 don't play together much anymore...they did at the beginning of the season but in early January, they stopped playing together. Look at the playoffs as well, they don't play together. Strome and Cat play together a lot. Now on the PP, Cat and Kane play a lot together</div></div>

But even in the playoffs so far, Strome has spent 52.4% of his ice time with Kane and 23% with Debrincat. Debrincat has spent 41.6% of his ice time with Kane and 19.3% with Strome.

Ill take your word for it that they split up that line in Janurary - but since January Debincat has had 16 points in 29 regular season games and Strome has had 9 points in 21 regular season games. Those are both significantly reduced from their typically production when mostly playing together with Kane. That just proves how they need a star player on their line to produce well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Debrincat and Strome have not together spent a lot of time with Kane.</div></div>

Yes they have. Strome spends 61% of his ice time with Kane and 64.5% with Debrincat. Debrincat spends 53% of his ice time with Kane and 49% with Strome. Debrincat-Strome-Kane is literally CHI's most common forward line this season... <a href="https://frozenpool.dobbersports.com/frozenpool_linecombo.php?select=TF&amp;teamf=CHI&amp;games=2019-2020%3AR%3A99&amp;period=ALL&amp;situation=ALL" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://frozenpool.dobbersports.com/frozenpool_linecombo.php?select=TF&amp;teamf=CHI&amp;games=2019-2020%3AR%3A99&amp;period=ALL&amp;situation=ALL</a>

I dont think he will be a #1D man - imo his ceiling is probably a #2 D man who can be his teams top shutdown defender, but most likely he will remain a #3-4 D man in a shutdown role

Thread: Strome Cat package trade
Thats not a bad offer but COL still declines. Debrincat and Strome are good but both have had up-and-down careers up to this point and only had great success while playing with star players. Debrincat has a 9M QO after his bridge deal and Strome is about to be overpaid this offseason. I guess you could say the same thing about Graves but he will be a lot cheaper and theres less risk there imo. I think its one of those situations where both teams value their own guys more since they have already performed in that teams environment - we dont know if Graves would be as good if he played on another team without Makar, and we dont know if Debrincat and Strome would produce as much as they have in the past if they played on a different team without Patrick Kane.

Im also very high on Newhook - I wouldnt trade him for any other drafted prospect in the league, so thats kind of a deal breaker for me
