Noob616 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Solid trade. He's not the saviour but he was acquired basically for free and is probably the 4th best defender on the team. He's a non-trivial upgrade on Emelin and just having Emelin out and one of Schlemko/Benn/Davidson in his place is a plus. He's also nice insurance if Jerabek doesn't pan out, Schlemko is ideally your #5 but he'd be serviceable next to Petry on a second pairing while trying to find another #4 LD through a trade/at the deadline.

Windoe Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 We picked Schlemko up for a good price. Dallas got Methot for a good price from Vegas. Maybe Vegas is the team to make some more deals with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinot-2 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 What is wrong with this picture? In 2014-15 he played for AZ, then he went to Dallas the same year. That same year (2014-15) he went to Calgary, then the next year he went to NJ., the next year he went to SJ. Now we have him. WTH is wrong with him that MB seems to overlook? If he was so good, why didn't those other teams keep him? Can someone explain to me what exactly does he bring to the ice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravadak Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 He brings nothing, we should have kept Subban. Traded Galchenyk for Drouin straight up,kept beuliue and signded Rads, trded danual, jullsen and 1st for deuchence. Singed Markov We would have Subban, Markov, Sergaev, Mete and Beuliu on dee Deuchene and Drouin dow the middle.. Price in Nets.... good core I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id be all for getting Shea Theodore - he would be a great compliment to Weber and isnt a teenager. I dont think LV would move him unless they got a top 4 dman in return though. 53 minutes ago, kinot-2 said: What is wrong with this picture?

WTH is wrong with him that MB seems to overlook? If he was so good, why didn't those other teams keep him? Can someone explain to me what exactly does he bring to the ice? He is a good all-round, versatile defensman. He has been moved because he's never been a 'make or break' player. He's good enough to play on probably any third pairing (and quite a few 2nd pairings) in the league but he'll never be a 'core' player... which makes him expendable. Teams have exposed him when they were more worried about protecting young stars, they've traded him etc. I do think he'd be an effective player in our top 6. I dont think he'll be able to play next to Weber for more than a few games at a time, although im willing to give him a chance if we have no other choices.

kinot-2 Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Has been reassigned to Laval for conditioning. He will play tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maas_art Posted October 13, 2017 Report Share Posted October 13, 2017 Very curious to see where he ends up in our lineup. I didnt see him play a lot in SJ but did watch him a fair bit in NJ and Id say that he probably fits our top 4 better than Alzner. Would Julien use him next to Petry and bump alzner to the 3rd pair? I Should be very interesting to watch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benn moved to the left on the 3rd pairing (Davidson playing right) so it looks like Benn might be odd man out if Schlemko makes his return. Davidson was definitely the better of the 2 last game.

None of those guys moves the puck well or skates particularly strongly. There really isn't a good spot for Alzner in the line-up, unless we acquire Karlsson or Subban to play next to him.

The only thing we can hope for is that Julien realizes Mete - Weber and Schlemko - Petry is our top 4 and that leaves us with Alzner, Davidson, Benn and Jerabek for the last pairing. Clearly not all of those guys are a fit for each other and one of them (Alzner) is making way too much money for the 3rd pairing. If Julien decides he (Alzner) is not one of our top 4, and plays him out of the top 2 pairings, will Bergevin move him? Maybe. He's made two surprising moves (Streit and Martinsen) already this year so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we are this concerned over David Schlemko (no offence to him) then we are in a very bad place as a team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't referring to the importance of Schlemko, more just the nature of his injury, with suggestions that it wasn't bad and would be day-to-day, then prolonging, then some indication he would be back, then a set-back, and then ambiguity of duration, etc. Schlemko is a better player for us on paper than any of Alzner, Benn, or Davidson, but then again, we haven't seen him in our line-up and he may be just as bad. Agreed that our defence corps is so bad right now that even having to discuss Schlemko's return date isn't good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramcharger440 Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 i was watching Lantichambre on RDS the other night and one of the ex NHLers on the panel has played with Shlemko and Hemsky, he says it does not take much to get them out of the lineup injurywise i believe he even said Hemsky was out once for a stubbed toe! odd to have bothered with these two in the first place!

maas_art Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Out three to four more weeks. "The Montreal Canadiens announced that defenceman David Schlemko underwent surgery today to remove a bone fragment in his right hand and will be out three to four weeks." Will we be in playoff contention then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
