I get what you are saying, but playing with Franz & Gremlin is a whole lot different then playing with Pandawful & an uninspired Rolston. what im saying is... its a bit more then a step above.

Right but throwing Strome, who isn't going to be used in any real defensive situations, onto the line that's going to get the most defensive assignments against other teams top lines isn't going to do squat for his development, in terms of what we drafted him for. If he isn't ready to jump into the 2nd line center spot, either a) leave him in Jr's (if it's this year) or b) let him go to the AHL (if it's next year).
