Dylan vs Ryan Strome

**jaga86** · April 4, 2021, 3:59 PM

In a deep points dynasty league are we at the point where in a 3-4 year window, we would like Ryan Strome over Dylan Strome?

I can acquire Ryan for my Dylan. I have a young team but going to be going for it for the next 3-5 years as my young core comes in to prime.

I’ve always felt Ryan was settling in at 30-40 points until his late breakout with New York. Looks good now!

Dylan Strome has one really great stretch with Chicago and that was exciting. But he didn’t take the opportunity this year which is concerning, although Chicago was a hit of a dumpster fire for anyone except Kane ans debrincat.

Is the keeper league play to hold Dylan Strome and assume he will put it all together a little more as he plays towards 400gp? I feel like by the time he’s Ryan’s age he should have some better numbers.

Update***

The discussions have been evolving to the point where we are at a deal on the table of:

Dylan Strome
Sam Reinhart
Mackenzie weegar

For

Ryan Strome
Jonathan Drouin
Tom Wilson

The numbers say it’s a good deal for me but my gut tells me Weegar is solid and will stick around, Reinhart most reliable player in the trade and Dylan is more fun to root for than Ryan.

Is this an accept to get Ryan Strome and some solid rostered forwards?

Great question! I have both Stromes. Dylan was one of my keepers last year (we keep 20), and I picked up Ryan in our free agent draft in the 7th round if I recall correctly.

I think a lot of people thought maybe last year was a flash in the pan for Ryan, but he has kept up the scoring this season so far. Of course playing with that Rangers offense helps, but he was able to keep getting on the score sheet even when Panarin was out (4 g, 5 a in 9 games). He will for sure be a keeper for me after this season.

As you said, Dylan did not grasp the opportunity this season. I've kept him for 3 seasons now. Last season was a mild disappointment after that first great stretch with Chicago, and I had high hopes for this season with Toevs and Dach out. He has no trade value in my league, and as of now I will be dropping him after the season. I'm pretty sure I can redraft him next season if I decide to with no problems.

Of course there are still a few weeks left in the season, but I don't have a whole lot of confidence in Dylan bouncing back, so give me Ryan!

Dobber rankings make it look like a no brainer for Ryan Strome but I have such a hard time buying in to Ryan Strome beyond this season and possibly next.

But maybe the point is not to look too far beyond that..

I hear what you're saying, and felt the same way. I drafted him as an afterthought, just for some forward depth after the 59 points in 70 games last season. I didn't even have him in my active 20 man roster to start this season. But he's proven me wrong, and the ppg pace when Panarin was out has done a lot to convince me that maybe he's not the fantasy wash out I pegged him to be. He's under contract for one more season, so I think he'll be good next season too.

They are both not drivers on their line, so at the moment it is Ryan. Next year same thing.

After that, only god knows!

Assuming you're getting Ryan for Dylan without any sweetener - I think you take that deal.

For me, Ryan is the better asset - short term for sure and maybe longer term as well.

If you really don't believe in Ryan longer term (and I don't blame you as I was a non-believer in a repeat this year too) then you should still be able to trade him in the next 12 months for more than Dylan (which you paid to get him) - and that's ideal asset management in a dynasty.

I prefer Ryan if you are going to compete, if the Dylan owner came to me offering him for Ryan I would not think twice about declining.

For perspective, while Panarin was out Strome was still producing and also logs heavy minutes for the Rangers.

Ended up doing a pretty deep trade of some question mark players:

I received:

Ryan Strome
Drouin
Tom Wilson
Sanheim

For

Dylan Strome
Sam Reinhart
Troy Terry
Weegar

I think I did well. I enjoy rooting for Dylan and I like Reinharts consistency but overall I believe I’ve obtained the better overall asset package.

Thoughts?

Edit - mistook someone's league details for yours. So I'm changing my post.

Ryan > Dylan
Drouin > Terry
Wilson > Reinhart
Sanheim < Weegar
