For the first time in his NHL career, Ryan Strome didn’t wear the New York Islanders blue and orange this year. After being selected fifth overall in 2011, Strome had been a part of the organization up until his trade in 2017.
Stromer burst onto the scene in 2014-2015 as a rookie putting up 50 points (17 goals, 33 assists) in 82 games. Strome wouldn’t be able to repeat that initial success. His point production dropped to 28 points and then 30 before he was traded this past year.
In his first year in Edmonton Strome put up a repeat of 2016-2017 essentially.
