Quoting: hanson493
2 things. one ryan strome is not a 55 point player. panarin absolutely carried him to 70 points this year. 2: how does a 2nd line winger equate to: top 4 dman in zadorov and young center... hajek isnt projected to be anything special. this is a terrible trade for colorado.
Well in a couple ways you're right. Strome...is a product of his linemates. For better or worse. This isn't a hard experiment to do. Go back to almost any year of Strome's career, take his 2 most common linemates, average out their point rate, and that is usually Strome's point rate. This year for example, Panarin was at a 113 point pace, Fast was at 34. That combines to 73, Strome was 69. So yes, Strome is being constantly carried (much like his brother), but with good linemates that's actually great...and that's what we're looking at in Colorado. Kadri played at a 58 point pace this year, Bura was at 64. I'd bet on a line with those 2, Strome yeah ends up around 55. And playing at Wing, he should have good defense to match. That makes him a top 6 player.
Framing Zadorov as a top 4 dman is pretty laughable. He was a healthy scratch for Kevin Connauton this year and comfortably slots behind: Johnson, Makar, Cole, Girard, Graves and Byram this year. That puts him as a 7D. And paying 3mil for a 7D, I think you'd agree, is a terrible idea.
So looking at ability:
Strome >>> Jost
Hajek << Zadorov
Cap hit:
Strome <<< Jost
Hajek >>> Zadorov
Age
Strome <<< Jost
Hajek >> Zadorov
Seems even at worst, and frankly most Ranger fans turn this deal down.
