Sod16 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 If Uncle Larry is right and last November Strome turned down something between 5.25 and 5.5 for 5 years, Strome should have inked it. I think he will labor in relative obscurity for the rest of his career, but he'll be pretty well paid. He sure leaves New York in immensely better shape than he entered it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Rep bet: Stromer on 4th line by the end of season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly believe this was simply just more of being better in the dot, being a bit more impactful on both sides of the game, and different paths towards getting their results. Strome was an awesome leader for us. I just think this was more of a case to bring in a guy that goes looking to go two feet into a landmine field while Strome might try to navigate around it instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long live the King Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Strome 484 career hits. Trocheck 1071. Strome plays a strictly skill game. Trocheck is plays a much harder game, is better defensively, and still scored. Now we get to see if he can match the 30 goal 75 poi nuts year he had in Florida by centering Panarin. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that "Hard game" comes questions about durability at his size and age. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 They've also taken the same amount of penalty minutes (376 to 372) with Trochek playing about one fewer season. So just be prepped for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just be prepped for that. I'm not worried about that. He isn't taking stick fouls. More likely roughings, slashings, things of that nature. Things that piss people off. Not hooks and trips. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but again, we're trying to win a cup in the next three years. After that Trocheck, Trouba, and Kreider are all tradeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cally also played twice as many grueling playoff games as Trocheck by age 28. Not saying Trocheck won't break down, but Cally had way more wear and tear on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Cally also buys his suits at Kohl's. So there's that too! You guys remember when he was the on-air analyst and he was wearing that puke green suit on TV...good Christ that was ugly. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdog99 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 we know what we had in strome...and it wasn't enough. time will tell what we have in Trochek but it seems like there's a good chance its an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
