From my perspective, Ryan Strome does not fit the 3rd line center role Leafs currently require.
Strome is not much better than Domi defensively and like Domi is a set up guy not a goal scorer.
Strome has only 7 goals this season but 23 assists.
Strome needs good quality wingers to play with to be effective.
Looking at Leafs 3rd line wing options leaves a lot to be desired.
Also, Strome is not as good as Tavares so it makes no sense to move Tavares to the 3rd line or to the LW just to shoehorn Strome into his role.

Strome would be a RW option with emergency center relief. I do see a potential place, but not exactly what we are looking for.
