We calculate the evolution of quark-gluon-plasma droplets during the hadronization in a thermodynamical model. It is speculated that cooling as well as strangeness enrichment allow for the formation of strangelets even at very high initial entropy per baryon S/A\rm init≈ 500 and low initial baryon numbers of A\rm B\rm init≈ 30. It is shown that the droplet with vanishing initial chemical potential of strange quarks and a very moderate chemical potential of up/down quarks immediately charges up with strangeness. Baryon densities of ≈ 2ρ0 and strange chemical potentials of μs>350~MeV are reached if strangelets are stable. The importance of net--baryon and net--strangeness fluctuations for the possible strangelet formation at RHIC and LHC is emphasized.
