Over the weekend, Elliotte Friedman noted that Vegas, Seattle, and Ottawa are the front runners in a potential Ryan Strome trade. The reactions were as expected, as all three teams are in completely different states. Vegas is looking to stay competitive and address a need. Ottawa is looking to trim down future salary. Seattle is….something? Looking for a 1C maybe? It’s unclear.
Either way, all signs are pointing to Ryan Strome getting traded. Granted, we said that last year too, but hey it’s another year, another rumor. Strome is clearly not in Chris Drury’s future plans, so may as well recoup some assets.
