In the radio spot Gilbertson mentioned an article he wrote about Stromgren.
It really is the most refreshing take I think I've heard from a bubble player.

“I’ve gotta be pissed off that I didn’t do a good job to give myself a better chance,” Stromgren said after his end-of-season chit-chat with team brass. “It’s my third year (in North America) next year, so it’s just going to get less and less opportunities. You’ve got young guys coming in. I’m still a young guy, but you have even younger guys coming in. They want to take your spot and you want to keep them away from your spot. You have to get pissed off. You have to do your best to not give them your spot.

“The older you get, the less time you have left. You don’t get a hundred opportunities. You only get a certain amount. And if you’re not ready to take advantage of those opportunities, you’re probably not going to be an NHLer. You need to have that mindset, ‘If I get three shots, I’ve gotta be good at all three shots.’ ”
