The Arizona Coyotes have recently traded for center Peter Holland. They also claimed journeyman center Josh Jooris off of waivers.
What if the Coyotes had simply used Dylan Strome to fill that void?
After Brad Richardson went down with a gruesome injury, the Coyotes were left with a hole in their roster. This presumably opened up opportunities for rookies Christian Dvorak and Dylan Strome.
Instead, two days later Strome was sent back to Erie for another year of seasoning.
Management felt that they already had capable centers on the roster and in Tuscon and this is partially what made Strome expendable.
