Thread: NYR - hard push for 2nd round exit
I see Strome getting mentioned in lots of trade proposals, so I thought more perspective is needed. I'm not saying a 2nd Rd pick is unreasonable, but CHI is now recognizing his value and would likely wait until the deadline to see how much they could get.

Here's the thing: they have a new GM and a new coach, who is actually playing Strome at C with other skilled players and even uses him in the bumper role on the 1st PP unit (instead of freakin Ryan Carpenter). So they are building his value back. He was actually above .8 PPG his first two years in Chicago, before he got into Cool youth pastor's dog house. So it wouldn't be so surprising to see him put in 40 points in 45-50 games and get a bidding war going.

But if the Blackhawks go back to more of a re-build mode, it's also not the worst thing to have a 24-year old C who can score, so they may be a motivated seller.
