He's also always had a lot of chemistry with Okposo, so I expect those two to get a shot together once this season or next season kicks off.
I think Bailey is very close to becoming a quality 2nd line winger. Okposo as well. I expect Strome to center those two and form a quality 2nd line relatively soon.

IMO Okposo is already a quality 2nd line winger, arguably 1st line. Bailey played like a boss, at least for his standards, last season. I was shocked at how good his defensive game was last season, kinda came out of nowhere. Bailey will probably peak as a 2nd line winger and at worst ends up a decent 3rd liner. I don't expect too much out of him honestly. Okposo, on the other hand, I expect to be a 30 goal scorer which he has yet to reach. Strome is going to be a dynamite 2C, though I hope they give him a look on JT's wing.
