SabreFan1 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Bummer. It had the potential to be an entertaining train wreck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're paying to keep him in the hopes that he will soon live up to his potential. It's basically a gamble on Snow's part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not very much considering he's had at least one 50 point season. The 2.5 million a year is to prove his 28 points season was an anomaly.

Jaku Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I don't think this outrageous in anyway. I believe last year was an anomaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are people acting like he's a crap player? He has top 6 talent and is ready for a role there but been misused in NYI by Capuano who has kept him in his doghouse since day 1. Even with Nielsen gone, wouldn't be surprised if Jack prioritizes Nelson or even puts Lee back to centre ahead of Strome. Ridiculous how he hasn't been put in a position to succeed and never given the benefit of the doubt. ..contract wise, I think this is very fair and don't see what all the fuss is about. Very cheap contract. If he finally gets top 6 minutes, this will most definitely be a 2 year bargain for the Isles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Didn't watch him last year, but a drop in production for someone like Strome (a blossoming Strome) was probably injury related. I think this worked out in the NYI GM's favor. If Strome followed up with a 70 point season, they wouldn't be able to give him a bridge contract of 2.5 mil/year. I doubt a bridge contract would be in the discussion at all. Now, if he follows up with a bounce-back year, this is an excellent move. If he continues to slip, this is still a good move since they only have him for two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, it's $2.5M over two years. If it doesn't work it won't require a buyout, and it won't handcuff the Islanders. I'm not worried about this deal in comparison to the 'good' deals (like the Getzlaf/Perry deals that were signed right after the lockout) - and that's not even talking about the Clarkson-esque debacles we've seen since. Last year was a downer for him, but he had a good year prior (albeit playing a fair bit with Tavares iirc) so there's reasoning behind the result.

Apple Juice Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I knew he'd get signed eventually. Just a bridge contract to see if he can consistently put up points. They're basically signing him for his potential in the 2nd year of the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madness Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 It's an okay deal. Not much money. He just hasn't panned out and won't get much more after this. I doubt the Isles keep him after this contract. It's a last chance deal to prove any worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing concerning here. 73 million divided by 23 is 3.17mil per. You just never realized that. Talking specifically about Strome, he is more than worth this signing.

Consider it like that safety meeting we've all had where there's one section on something you'd think no one would ever do. You shouldn't have to point it out, but it's in the book, so someone's already done it. In this case it was Xbox trying to say this was a terrible contract, so I pointed out all the things that would make it bad that aren't applicable. 2 hours ago, HK Phooey said: Gonna go out on a limb and say that RR is mocking you for ridiculously even mentioning the obvious. Am I right, Rocket? Ah, so trolling me? Why mock the guy responding to the original guy who made the ridiculous statement in the first place?
