got a great name......Dave Schlemko..... just rolls off the tongue......Schlemko

And some will swallow and eat manure if it's handed to them by management

That's exactly how I feel about a Gally trade right now. Don't like him? Fine. Not in the long term plan? Fine. Want to trade him now at his lowest possible value? NOT FINE! There is a better way! See Yrzeman, Steve and Drouin, Jonathan for a textbook example

Another depth Dman. Can't have enough of em, right? Granted, we do have a need on the LD. For a 5th rounder, nothing to worry about here.

Emelin & 5th for Schlemko . Pure genius.

Great year by a great defenseman; sounds about right

I remember being disappointed on draft night last year that we didn't land one of the skilled forwards drafted with the picks right before ours. That we turned an unproven teenager into a high-skill scorer can only be counted as a huge win. Maybe Sergachev doesn't reach his #1 potential, or maybe he only gets there in six or seven years. Injuries will likely be key in evaluating this deal down the road, but we seem to be getting a much more proven commodity. I really hope we hold onto Galchenyuk. I'd rather stack the offence and let Carey save our bacon on the back end, since that's how it'll end up anyways.

Very good trade. Much better than Emelin at half the price. Outperformed Emelin in all areas despite less ice time.

Woo hoo! Another 3rd pairing D. Just need another 4th line forward now!

He's old...he stinks...he's signed until 2020. Queue the yearly influx of third pairing D and 4th liners. They got backed into a corner by the expansion draft, and downgraded from N8 and Emelin.

Don't waste your breath, some seem to need to bitch about something or everything in every single post.
