What are fans saying about the Dylan Strome contract?
Wasn’t he a healthy scratch two weeks ago?
Good for him! Glad he found a home for his young family for the next 5 years!
I know Dylan Strome is having a better season this year, but this is still a large contract for a player who’s scored 20 goals once in his career.
