Low risk help

That's great for the Pens, but I think CHI can do much better.

Pens decline. Hextall and Burke would rathar see how Lagere pans out

???? They would rather see how 74th overall pick who got 16 goals last year in the Q turns out compared to the 3rd overall pick who got 51 points in 58 games a couple years ago. There is a maybe 10% chance Legare ever becomes the player Strome is right now.

Chicago declines, not enough for Strome.

Hextall said hes not trading picks or prospects

Cherry picking stats is just ridiculous and is a terrible argument.
Taking Legare’s stats from last year but Strome’s from 2 years ago? Dumb and asinine.
Leaving out the fact that Legare only played 33 games last year and had 38 points total? Dumb and asinine.
Using points for Strome but only goals for Legare as the stat to compare? Dumb and asinine.
If you’re gonna use Strome’s stats from 2 years ago, then use Legare’s stats from 2 years ago too. You won’t because Legare’s stats are amazing from 2 years ago.
Yes the organization would rather have Legare and see how he turns out considering they were extremely impressed with him this year, even more so than last year. He will be much more needed as a right shot RW long term than a left handed center/LW. And the pens would much rather take advantage of a much lower cap hit at a need than pay a guy 3 million minimum who isn’t even cracking the Hawks lineup. There is only a like 5% chance Strome puts up the numbers he did from 2-3 years ago since we are randomly making stuff up. 🤷‍♂️
