The Islanders are trying to give the 2011, fifth overall pick more time to develop. He is a good playmaking centre with great hands, but has not completely adapted to the NHL game, but he is close. Strome will certainly be the first forward called up from Bridgeport.
Obviously both players don't have any fantasy value now, but these are both names you should keep an eye on in the future.
Strome loses all of his immediate fantasy hockey value by returning to the OHL but is certainly a keeper in dynasty leagues.
No word on his short-term role with the club. Strome impressed last season in the OHL, scoring 33 goals and 106 points. His excellent season led many to believe he could be this season's Jeff Skinner. Keep an eye on where Strome lands.
