ST. CATHARINES, Ont. - Dylan Strome is Connor McDavids teammate and the No. 2 centre for the Erie Otters. Hes also the No. 2 scorer in the Ontario Hockey League.Hes not chopped liver, Otters owner and general manager Sherry Bassin said in a recent interview. Everybody is talking about this other guy, and hes fine with it. ... He never talks about himself, he does his talking on the ice.Already the younger brother of 2011 No. 5 pick Ryan Strome, Dylan doesnt mind McDavids shadow and is building an impressive resume in his own right. Strome is expected to follow McDavid up to the stage on NHL draft day this June as a potential top-10 pick.Listed seventh on International Scouting Services mid-season rankings, Strome is one of 40 players in St. Catharines, Ont., this week for Thursday nights CHL top prospects game. Behind McDavid, Boston University centre Jack Eichel and Boston College defenceman Noah Hanifin, Strome is competing with fellow top prospects Lawson Crouse and Mitchell Marner for a top-five spot.I like Strome: Hes got a lot of offensive upside to his game, good size, lots of potential for down the road, ISS Hockey scouting director Dennis MacInnis said. The one thing hes got to work on is his skating because its not explosive. Hes very dangerous on the power play, but hes got to work on his skating.Strome knows skating is his biggest deficiency and is working tirelessly to improve it. Over the past four summers the Mississauga, Ont., native trained with former Toronto Maple Leafs skating coach Dawn Braid a couple of times a week.Braid, who previously worked with Ryan Strome and now-New York Islanders teammate John Tavares, said Dylan has improved remarkably from when he started training with her at age 13.Dylan was doing a lot of growing from when he first started, Braid said in a phone interview Tuesday. In combination with his work ethic off the ice getting stronger, thats obviously helped. Hes still young and from my experience working with players, even if you take his brother Ryan or you take John Tavares, when they were 18, 19, they still were like where Dylan is today.In other words, a work in progress. During the OHL season, Strome tries to copy the principles Braid teaches over to every drill in practice.Its kind of just remembering what she taught me in the summer and constantly reminding myself what she told me, like where I move my arms and the position of my stride, Strome said earlier this season. If you can remember that, youre going to generally get faster.Dylan said brother Ryan, whos in his first full NHL season with the Islanders after playing 37 games last year, is definitely faster. But hes also four years older.At the next level, I need to get a lot faster, Strome said. Obviously strength, that comes with time and throughout the summers and stuff. But I think my speed definitely needs to get better if I ever want to play at the next level.Erie coach Kris Knoblauch sees skating as the only real weak part of Stromes game. And he doesnt consider it a problem that will linger for much longer.I think hes got a stride that just is continually going to get better, Knoblauch said. Hes one of those guys whos 17, hes a tall, gangly guy, but as he gets stronger I think hes going to be an excellent all-around skater.Strome is already a dominant, point-producing junior hockey player. His 80 points on 28 goals and 52 assists are second in the OHL to Marner of the London Knights, and he helped keep the Otters afloat when McDavid missed time with a broken right hand and then the world juniors.Its nice to see him coming along, said Braid, who believes Strome has developed better body control, posture and skating on his edges. We always knew he was a talented player and sometimes they were questioning his skating. And I think over the next few years, if Dylan sticks with it, when that strength side of it comes in, when he matures physically, I think the games will be huge.If Strome ever needs motivation to keep working harder with Braid on his skating, he can look at what Tavares accomplished.It definitely gives you a confidence boost when you see a guy that wasnt maybe the greatest skater at the minor-midget level and the first year in the OHL become one of the most dominant skaters in the NHL, Strome said Tuesday at Meridian Centre in St. Catharines. Thats what he is now. In my eyes hes one of the best skaters in the league.Strome flourishes on the power play and at even strength. Basically anywhere he can find teammates for goals.I love having the puck on my stick, and I love dishing for chances and I love creating opportunities, he said.Most offensive-minded players do. But the six-foot-three 187-pounder looks like he could round into a prototypical NHL centre. Knoblauch said he believes Strome can be a top-two centre at that level.Hes incredibly smart, hes very competitive, Knoblauch said. Hes naturally more of a playmaker than a goal-scorer, not that he cant score goals, but hes excellent setting up his teammates.So excellent that he could tie or surpass his brother as the highest draft pick in his family. Dylan and Ryan rib each other about that, but an older brothers advice in a draft year is a little more serious.Ryan Strome has told Dylan to stay even-keeled amid the uncertainty.He tells me ... Its a long season, its a long next couple years. You dont know whats going to happen. Its a long summer, its a long winter, Dylan Strome said. He just said if you play your hardest every game, someones going to like you in the draft.___Follow @SWhyno on Twitter Yangervis Solarte Jersey . "Today was a very great day for me. It was always my dream to be good in GS," Wierather said. "I took quite a long time to get there. It feels awesome to have my first win (in GS)."

There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. http://www.authenticpadrespgear.com/padr...k-aybar-jersey/. His Chicago Blackhawks teammates werent shocked when he found it.
