it’s a shrewd move. Dvorak could be considered an extension of Strome without giving Strome his raise next year. the upside is you could easily afford Mika without Eichel and won’t end up like Toronto with 4 players eating up $40mil of cap next year. the big gamble is if Dvorak can actually come in >50pts on this team and hopefully grow to something north of a 70pt 2C in the window. it’s a rather large ask.
otherwise just let Strome be Strome at 6.5 on his next deal and continue to develop Chytil, who I forget daily is STILL ONLY 21YRS OLD.
