Ryan Strome Drawing Trade Interest Amidst Ducks' Roster Shake-Up

Ducks C Ryan Strome is a potential trade target, per NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, due to a delayed start from an oblique injury, healthy scratches, and the team's strong performance without him. Strome, 32, has no trade protection on his five-year, $5M AAV contract. He has 5 points (1-4=5) in 13 games this season, playing a reduced fourth-line role (8-11 TOI) since returning from injury and scratches.
