If I were the Habs I would probably take that deal.

That Strome signing was a terrible move by the Oilers. God bless you Chiarelli.

So you want to give up a promising young player in Yamamoto, a 1st and a 3rd for a 30 year old winger on the decline of his career and their 2nd and 5th? Where is the sense in this??

The Strome signing is basically on par with what teams are paying for much older 3rd line centers, hes 24 and a right shot. How do you see this as terrible? He put up 34 points on a new time, not playing his natural position, and excelled in the last quarter of the season play center.

Mainly because he's not working out as a winger which is what they need. See this deal handcuffing them in the future. This hampers them for upgrades at wing and on the point.

He moved back to center position and played well there and remained there the rest of the season. In 3 years Edmonton will have the cap space they need, players coming off the books, and Strome is signed for only 2 years.

Try not commenting unless you actually watch the games strome is a great 3c and his qualifying offer was 3 mill 3.1 isnt bad at all
