2025 Fantasy Outlook
After three years of recording at least 49 points between 2019-20 and 2021-22, Strome’s production has stalled out at the 41-point mark in each of the last three seasons. The playmaking center’s 10 goals in 2024-25 was his lowest total since 2015-16, and Strome’s 7.3 shooting percentage was the second-lowest mark in his 12-year career. On the bright side, the 2011 fifth-overall pick’s plus-minus rating improved from minus-20 two seasons ago to minus-3 last year, which was a result of Anaheim making modest improvements. As the Ducks continue to integrate their young core into the NHL, it’s possible Strome’s ice time will drop. As a veteran on an inexperienced team under new head coach Joel Quenneville, the forward will fill a middle-six role and receive work with the No. 2 power-play group. As evidenced by his output the last three years, Strome’s ceiling is capped around the 40-point threshold. Read Past Outlooks

Placed on IR
Strome (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.
ANALYSIS
Strome has already been ruled out for the Ducks' first two games of the year, so it shouldn't be a shock to see him placed on injured reserve. The 32-year-old center has logged exactly 41 points in each of his previous three seasons, making that a fairly good bet as to where he might end up in 2025-26, assuming his injury doesn't linger too long.

Strome has back-to-back 41-point seasons as a member of the Ducks after signing a five-year, $25 million contract in July 2022. He slipped from 15 goals in 82 games in 2022-23 to 11 goals over 79 appearances in 2023-24, but his 8.4 shooting percentage last year was a significant drop from his 11.9 average across his previous four campaigns. Strome got off to a promising start in 2023-24, collecting two goals and 12 assists in his first 13 outings, but lengthy scoring droughts became a problem afterward. He will probably occupy a middle-six role in 2024-25 and could reach the 40-point plateau for a third conservative season. However, Strome should only be considered in fantasy leagues as a waiver-wire addition during stretches when he heats up offensively.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Rangers reunion unlikely
Strome's $5 million cap hit makes a trade from the Ducks to the Rangers unlikely, Jim Cerny of Sportsnaut reports.
ANALYSIS
Strome was productive over parts of four seasons with the Rangers but signed as a free agent with Anaheim in the summer of 2022. He's mainly played as a winger this season, racking up 24 points over 46 contests. The price is the concern for the Rangers, who will likely turn elsewhere for center depth now that Filip Chytil's season has been ended by a setback while recovering from an upper-body injury.
