Drouin for D. Strome

[Big Baby]

I agree with all the others. Drouin and its not really that close.

Based on the set up in going against the grain as it basically becomes Johnson and Strome for Drouin. Personally I think Johnson has been a let down the last few seasons but I don't think it's time to abandon ship yet. As I've stated elsewhere I'm not the highest on Drouin so Strome becomes a plus and that more than swings it for me

I guess we are in the minority... Ahh well, that just means that drafting Johnson will be easier come next year in most pools

I'm one of the people who is least optimistic about Strome around here, but I do see an opportunity where this deal makes sense for you. If you can trade Hedman for an equivalent value forward then Drouin would be your odd man out. At that point you would want to have the asset on your farm team. In Sept/Oct (after your draft) with expectations on Strome high, you can flip him again for someone like Bennett/Reinhart who is more proven and primed for a breakout.

Excellent point.

And I'd rather keep Hedman over Buff

Me too.

This.

You can then trade Buff and Drouin for a much better return than just Strome

[bergman]

Yeah I think you'd be waiting for a long, long time on an unlikely return if you were to make this deal.

If only lol did you see how he finished the season

Ya it was something like a ppg average over his last 20 games or so. Still his 45 total points is what's going to stand out come next year!

Sssshhhhh don't tell everyone
