Entering the season, there were many questions regarding Ryan Strome and his future with the Rangers. It’s no secret that the Rangers tried to trade him this summer before signing him to his two-year extension. He may not be a part of the long-term plan, but in the short-term, Strome has been good enough. At least for now.
Strome is going to be an all offense, no defense center. That’s fine in the right role. he’s also unlikely to be a play driver on his own. He needs to be with the right wingers to bring out the best in him.
