Gotta think Strome is in for a big raise, he's played really well in Rangers.

Is this a fair trade?

Not really. I'd rather have Kravtsov over Bellows and Strome over Nelson, all things considered.

You don't think Strome is just a product of Panarin and the system. Nelson is a better all around player and a better goal scorer

He my be a product of the system which he now changed a bit under new coaching so this is likely not the case. But he certainly isn’t a product of Panarin, while people like to say this they haven’t done the math to see that less than half of his assists come from Panarin goals. Rather if these people watched him for 30 games straight they would actually see how good he is. He will command 6.5/ easily and only way he takes less is if he wants to stay with NYR. *his downfall is faceoffs*
