Strome has the higher upside but in terms of realistic expectations, Coyle is further ahead in development and will give you equal or better stats for the next 3 years, most likely. I would go with Coyle.
I may be able to get Charlie Coyle for Dylan Strome in my points only keeper league (details of league in my sig).
Should I hang on to Strome and hope he comes around next season or trade for Coyle and make a push to finish in the top 3 of my pool this year?
11 team keeper league with salary cap (points only)

Strome is still an "A" prospect, but given your league setup (where he has to pass through waivers and thus is taking up a roster spot for you) and that you're making a push this year, I think Coyle is a decent price.
I would make that deal.
Skeptics have been mentioning the lack of foot speed may inhibit Strome at NHL level. Coyle is showing he may be a premier power forward and should be top 6 or top line for many years to come. Make the deal.

Maybe play the card of the 3rd overall status and try to get a pick with Coyle?
If you go for the win this season, that's the type of deal you make and you still receive a young piece with upside.
I don't want to rain on Strome's parade, he's still a nice prospect, but I haven't been impressed by him at the WJC.

Points-only keeper league. 12 teams. Keep any 12 players. Dress 12F - 6D - 2G.
I think you should still be able to get more for Strome. You're selling him low, and he's still one of the top prospects at the moment. I may not be high on him myself, but I still think you can do better than Coyle (who you're buying high on).

I think in a few years you will come to regret trading him. I don't understand why everyone is so quick to lose faith on a kid like this. Just because he didn't have a great start to his NHL season and got sent back to Jr, people are now questioning him.
If you owned Puljujarvi, would you be this down on him as well?
People have short memories and need to show patience with these KIDS.
