C Dylan Strome - 6'3'' 187lbs - Shoots L
http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=228107- Strome ranked #6
- compares Strome to a Joe Thornton-esque type player - crafty skilled playmaker
- still needs to work on his skating
- more of an offensive guy
- doesn't really play with physical jam
- also doesn't play with a lot of pace - main concern with him at the NHL level
- at junior he can pick apart defences but with the pace of the NHL....
- still ranked high because he can manufacture offense - better than his brother (Ryan ) at the same age
- Strome will be a point producer in the NHL but McDavid, Eichel, Hanifin, Marner and Crouse offer a little more in 3 or 4 years time in the NHL
- Draisaitl is a little more thicker and stronger on the puck than Strome - but both very cerebal type players, make plays and suck defences to them. extra heightened hockey sense.

Sounds very similar to the scouting reports on Getzlaf at that age.
