Strome is in a different situation. With only 31 games so far in the NHL, the Coyotes have taken a deliberately slow approach with him. So he's not ripe for change of scenery. He's tracking in a positive direction.
Possible change of scenery types would be
Pool Party (not likely but fits the bill)
Pavel Zacha
Timo Meier
Lawson Crouse
Those are all 2015 guys so their teams may not be ready to give up on them yet. And most have out produced Sam so far.
How about Nick Ritchie? Ducks struggling to sign him.
Virtanen would also be a candidate but he's awful.
Hayden Fleury to add a young dman?
Sonny Milano and a 1st?
The reality is that I think this is what you are looking at more than likely in terms of the type of deal.
I think the better route, as possible trade scenarios, is that he's a chip to be played to address a need elsewhere (#1 younger goalie)
