I dont think that would do it, would probably need to be a first. he has been a point a game player before and could be again. plus he is an rfa at the end of the season.

That's true, but if he was able to be at a point-per-game pace this season, I don't think he'd be a typical healthy scratch

fair but maybe chi is just trying to send him a message. or maybe he just needs a change of scene.

Why would Ott trade a boatload of picks to move Stuzle, arguably their best play to the third line?

Also not the first option for the sens, he is LEft shot and Sens are way overloaded on Left shots, and Where does this point per game talk come from? He doesn't have a single season where he is close to that. NHL totals (205 games and 122 pts).

Honestly, he seems like the same player as Colin White, so don't see the appeal of adding him at the cost.

I don't think any team is putting up a 1st for him. Certainly not Ottawa in any case.

It's funny if you mention Strome without his name

You describe a skilled RFA in his prime who is on pace for 40ish to 60ish points a year, holds possession steady, isn't bad defensively, still has potential, etc.

Heckuva asset ultimately

But if you go on the reputation thing that he was drafted high and isn't elite now and somehow is mediocre because of that then... hm... wait

That's a bunch of nonsense he's a heckuva asset

Ok but players who are healthy scratched and who might need a change of sceneRY, are they typically returning a 1st round pick? Particularly from a team that has been rebuilding the last 4 seasons?



IF Ottawa was acquiring Strome, it would be to have him as a Center, not to play with Pinto and Brown over Stutzle.
