Guentzel for me. I'm extremely concerned about Strome
Lots of Guentzel v. Keller threads out there. Not much with Strome. Who are you taking in a dynasty?

Guentzel for me. I'm extremely concerned about Strome
As a Guentzel owner I wouldn't deal him for Strome. I would deal him for Keller however but that also depends on the makeup of your team.
Short and Long term I prefer Guentzel over Strome
Short term I like him over Keller but long term I prefer Keller

Pretzel - I like Strome but right now I'm only moving Pretzel for an over payment
Experience is the teacher of all things.
I'm not a fan of Strome at all. I've heard he has improved his skating, but there are a number of instances (Pulkinnen comes to mind) of guys with great shots and IQ who can't skate their way into a permanent place in the NHL. Strome will be in the NHL, don't get me wrong, but I worry about how long it will take and how consistent he'll be once there.
Guentzel.

Guentzel easy decision for me. Strome worries me with his mediocre foot speed and how his game will translate at the NHL level.
Super easy choice in Guentzel. Strome has tooo much unknown about him. Even if Guentzel takes a step back I like his chances to produce more than Strome.
