    Strome, not even close. His upside is too good to ignore and I've all but given up on Gagner
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    Agree, even if Strome fails to live for the hype it's hard not to become more relevant that Gagner.

    Yeah, but will Strome ever score 8 points in one game? Case closed.

    I usually tend to favor proven talent over a prospect's hype, but Strome is too good to overlook.

    I like Gagner, but it doesn't seem to be clicking anymore in Edmonton for him. If he is moved to a team that has little offensive talent, he will have trouble getting points as I don't see him as the type of player that ''carries a team''. From a different perspective of things, if he is moved to a team that has a really good offensive core, then he may have more defensive responsibilities instead.

    Basically, what I'm trying to say here is don't look at Gagner for what he did, but what he can do. That is how you will get the best comparison with Strome. When doing so, I like RS!

    Strome.

    I own Gagner and hope he can reproduce he pace he was on last year, but not sure it will happen in Edmonton. I'd roll the dice with the unproven kid.

    Totally depends on the OP's objective. It's not like Strome has done anything at the NHL level yet. If we are talking about next year, I'd take Gagner over Strome.
