Erie teammate and eventual NHL first overall draft pick Connor McDavid (120 points), who missed 21 games, finished third.

[7][8] Along with winning the scoring title, Strome set the Otters' team record for most points in a single season, narrowly edging former linemate Connor Brown.

On May 22, 2017, in the Memorial Cup round robin, Strome scored a tournament single-game record seven points (four goals and three assists), leading the Otters to a 12–5 win over the Saint John Sea Dogs.

[16] Despite this early success, on December 19, 2017, Strome was demoted to the AHL after Arizona's acquisition of Josh Archibald from the Pittsburgh Penguins.

However, his more successful subsequent stints with the Chicago Blackhawks and Washington Capitals have allowed Strome to largely rid himself of this derisive label.

[24] After playing in 20 games, on November 25, 2018, he was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks (along with Brendan Perlini) in exchange for Nick Schmaltz.

[30] Following the dismissal of coach Jeremy Colliton, Strome rebounded and saw more playtime with the Blackhawks as a top-six forward.

[34] As a 16-year-old, Strome competed as a member of Canada Ontario at the 2014 World U-17 Hockey Challenge, where he was recognized for his outstanding performance when he was named to the tournament's All-Star Team.

[37] Strome returned to the 2017 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships held in Toronto and Montreal, where he captained Canada to a silver medal finish.

[43][47] Wrigley (whom Strome had brought home as a puppy during the 2020 All-Star Game season break) became a celebrity canine among Blackhawks fans.

Crediting Wrigley with helping him cope with stresses of his playing career and the COVID-19 pandemic, Strome would often mention him during interviews.

[51] During the 2023–24 season, Strome debuted a custom suit jacket that he wore while traveling for hockey featuring photos of his dogs on its inner lining.
