Ryan Strome: our analysis
2025-26 season: 19 GP, 5 G, 7 A, 12 PTS, -3 +/-, 15:15 TOI. WAR -0.1 (482nd of 615) · PAL 3, very poor.
In 2025-26, Ryan Strome, 33, posts a PAL Rating of 3 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -0.1 ranks 482nd among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
On the other hand, power play (2, among the weakest in the league) and discipline (6, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV offense (+1.1); his biggest cost: EV defense (-2.5).
A season in line with 2024-25 (PAL of 1); his WAR went from -2.4 to -0.1.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 2 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Ryan Strome's story
Raised in the Lorne Park area of Mississauga, Ryan Strome came up through Toronto-area minor hockey before moving into major junior. He played for the Toronto Marlboros at the minor level and was taken eighth overall in the 2009 OHL Priority Selection by the Barrie Colts, then traded early in his first season to the Niagara IceDogs, where his offensive instincts became evident.
Strome’s breakout in junior arrived in his second full OHL season: 106 points in 65 games, recognition on the Second All-Star Team and a player-of-the-month nod in January 2011. Those results led to his selection fifth overall by the New York Islanders in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. He stayed one more season in junior, then began his pro career with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers in the AHL before earning a recall to the Islanders late in 2013.
He made his NHL debut in 2013–14 and scored his first league goal on January 6, 2014. In June 2017 the Islanders traded Strome to the Edmonton Oilers for Jordan Eberle. In Edmonton he filled a variety of roles—wing and centre, special-teams minutes and turned in stretches of scoring, including the Oilers’ 10,000th franchise goal—before settling into a more defensive third-line role at times. He finished the 2017–18 campaign with 34 points in 82 games and signed a two-year extension that summer.
On November 16, 2018, Strome was dealt to the New York Rangers for Ryan Spooner. With the Rangers he moved into higher-minute roles, produced career highs in assists and points during the 2019–20 shortened season (59 points in 70 games), and established himself as a reliable playmaker. In July 2022 he left via free agency to accept a five-year deal with the Anaheim Ducks, where he was expected to skate on the second forward line and contribute on the power play.
On March 6, 2026, Strome was traded to the Calgary Flames for a 2027 seventh-round pick. Across his career he has been valued for game vision and adaptability: a player who can distribute in the offensive zone, handle special-teams duties and slide between top-six and depth roles as needed.
