With a wrist injury picked up on March 24th, Ryan Strome‘s season was over. He’d played 69 games on the season, netting 13 goals and 17 assists for 30 points.
It was a step up, however slight, from 2015-16 where Strome put up 28 points in a widely underwhelming campaign. A season where he was supposed to galvanize those 50 points he had scored the season before and fit into that fifth overall pick destiny that we’d all written for him.
Strome’s season went like that of the whole team’s. It started poorly but when Doug Weight got his hands on the team it was all uphill.
