I consider myself an optimist when it comes to the Oilers.
But this deal will be another fail for Chia unless Spooner significantly outscores Strome.
When trading centres, the righty is always more valuable. It has to do with faceoffs.
Lucic likes Spooner? Well didn't Connor billet with the Stromes or play with Dylan in the OHL?
I would also love it if Chia could trade with more teams than just the three New York clubs.

So what good does a right shooting center do if they don't score any points and isn't a good skater?
|
Well it's a face off thing. Like a south paw pitcher in baseball. Strome was a serviceable penalty killer. Faceoffs are important on the pk. Especially on a certain side of the ice. I seem to remember you got in an epic face off debate on here. Can't recall if you were pro or con reguarding the importance of faceoffs.
I can't argue with any of you guys, Strome was doing very very very little. If Spooner scores more (at all) this trade's a win. I remember in the old days a trade would sometimes shake up a team. I hope it lights a fire under the Oil!

This is not an opinion on the trade...
It was me that RDOF got angry at over faceoffs (among a couple others)
It has been proven that OVERALL faceoffs are not that important. Taken the big picture they are a tiny indicator of team or player success.
Situationally they are important, specifically on the PK in your own zone.
For role players that are expected to be a key part of the PK the center needs to be above 50% on FO.
For star players like McDavid it is nice if they are good on the dot as it means you can leave them on the ice and not put a lesser player there just for the face off.
As an example, with 2 mins left and a one goal lead. If the Oilers take a penalty I would love to have McDavid and RNH on the ice as the forwards. IF one or both of them are reliable on the FO you dont need to put in a worse player.
If you have a right handed, good face off, star player you have no worry in any situation.
To the trade itself, trading a RHC for a LHC is WAY down my list of analyzing the deal. Over the course of a game your 3rd center is taking a handful of faceoffs, maybe one of two of those are actually important to the outcome of the game. Losing Strome in that situation is not an issue for the Oilers.
