I don't love the idea of trading Lee - especially since here you've basically traded Lee at $7M + a 2 & a 3 for Strome at $4M & a 1st (rolling in that $1M retention to Strome's overall hit). Lee is a legit 25-30 goal scoring threat every year (since the beginning of last season, he's played 67 games and scored 25 on the nose) while Strome just doesn't have that kind of track record yet. You also have to figure in the facts that Strome is RFA this year and probably getting a raise on that $3M, *and* whatever intangible value you want to give to the Islanders trading away their current captain.
I also don't think the Aho/Bolduc combo gets Roslovic out of Columbus - they'd be selling low on him if they moved him, but not that low.
