Well, it’s the end of an era for the Edmonton Oilers. The Ryan Strome experiment ends as it began with a good old 1 for 1 swap. While this tried will be criticized to high heaven because it’s the first major trade ChiaPete has made since… trading for Strome.
Why Strome Was Traded
Well to put it simply, he just wasn’t good enough. Through 18 games Strome had 1 goal and 1 assist. Not. Good. Enough. Furthermore, in his 100 career games as an Oiler, Strome has a grand total of 36 points. It became very obvious very fast to most Oilers fans and journalists that Strome was not the 50 point player that he was heralded as coming here.
