Actually it could be good deal for both teams, if the Leafs really think Strome is going to be an NHL centre.

Do you not pay any attention to hockey? Strome can be passed through waivers and sent down to the AHL whenever the team wants him to be. He isn't on the roster because there is no room for him right now with everyone healthy. He would be a perfect replacement for Bozak next year if/when he walks to another team. Depth is extremely huge for any hockey team incase you need reminding. We already have an abundance of RW and in the minors but not so much Center depth.

Well you just changed your comment so I guess mine is irrelevant right now. That was the whole idea behind this. We need center depth and if he jumps back and forth with us this year and waits to be a 3rd line center when Bozak leaves it's a win. Kapanen gets a top 6 role in Arizona. Win win.

Yeah I agree with both of you! Giving up the more advanced prospect now (from a position of strength), to enhance our center depth down the road. I do think it works for both teams! It may allow the Leafs to leave Nylander on the wing next year as well!
