SabreFan1 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 The Islanders have a policy where if a player isn't signed by training camp, he is no longer welcome on the team for that season. Their camp starts next week I believe. Ryan Strome is still an RFA. Strome netted 50 points in his first full season in 14-15, but then dropped to 28 points last season in 71 games. Garth Snow is playing hardball with Strome's agents so I'm guessing that he's willing to and probably already is listening to offers. I think Strome still has top 6 potential and could fit in well with what JB and TL are doing with the youth movement. My problem is that I just don't see what the Canucks can offer NYI to pry him from them. They are pretty much set on defence so any trade with Sbisa in it would be pointless and the Canucks can't part with forward talent. That only leaves prospects and picks. If Strome eventually turns out to be mediocre, then the prospect pool will have been diminished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 That was the same thing last year with Brock Nelson and they got him signed just on time. They were going to force him to sit out. If they trade him - it sets a precedent and they don't want that. Also: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the contract talks hit a hiccup in the last day or two, his rights will be there for the highest bidder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of whether they are set or not on defense, you are not getting Ryan Strome with Sbisa as your main piece of the return. I'm guessing it would take at least, Hansen + 1st rounder to make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryanstorm Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I'd do Hansen and two 2nd round picks. Not sure about a 1st. Could lose out on a top 10 pick. Throw Sbisa and a pizza in too for a little extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Question is where would he fit on the canucks roster? He's not currently a top 6 center. He got 50 points playing on the wing of Tavares. When Grabo got hurt he filled in as the #3 center and didn't have a lot of success. So currently today he wouldn't replace Sutter or Bo out of their spots in the middle. And if were getting him for the RW, I think there are more appealing options on the market and even some worth seeing in our own system that i'd want to test first. It would really come down to cost for Vancouver. It would have to be really cheap for it to make sense to Vancouver other wise we'd be better saving our assets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Juice Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 They'll get him signed. I doubt they would want to have Cizikas play top 6 minutes when he's better utilized in the bottom six and PK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymond Luxury Yacht Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I'm pretty sure his cost is too damn high! We would need to trade one of our assets that we definitely need, to get an asset we don't necessarily need. If we are going to trade Tanev or Hutton or Bo(NOOOOOOOO! Don't do it) we will need to get back a definitive goal scoring asset. Ryan Strome is not that guy....but he is a young, up and coming potential top 6 forward who would rightly get a lot of consideration among NHL GMs. EDIT: I stated Tanev, Hutton and Bo because if Campy Jim trades our high picks I will be furious.

thejazz97 Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 With losing Nielsen, they can play Strome at C again. He's like Granlund x3 that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
