I guess he'll be paired with Benn and battle that spot with Davidson. Looks like he gets injured fairly often, though. I guess Jerabek is likely to slot into the top 4 now? Or will it be Schlemko/Jerabek/Davidson for 5/6 spot? and pressbox spot as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trizzak Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Not a bad trade, but seems like a useless one. Adding any defensemen who aren't going to play top 4 minutes (and play beside Weber) is really unnecessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its a bit of a Byron like claiming in that he really improved after being a waiver claim, and is now a valuable contributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nihilz Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Bergevin essentially, made the defense better, and shaved off $5million in cap space. Schlemko Jerabek 3rd Emelin Beaulieu 5th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neech Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Seems like a solid addition to our top-6, and we have him at a good price for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 If he's an upgrade on Emelin, then we still need an upgrade on Beaulieu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 2 hours ago, Commandant said: Very good trade. Much better than Emelin at half the price. Outperformed Emelin in all areas despite less ice time. Safe to say that McPhee doesn't attend to advanced stats. If this kind of analysis is correct, you really have to wonder if he knows what he's doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real question is why take Emelin and not Hudon. If you're just selling your defense for 5ths, why take them. I don't understand the logic.

nihilz Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Vegas is going to have to retain sooome salary to make he cap floor. Hey if they unleash Emelin. He'll be a popular spectacle in Vegas. lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXx..CK..xXx Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I don't know much about Schlemko even though I'm out west but I think it's safe to say that a player of Emelin's style won't have the best advanced stats. This doesn't change the fact that he does bring other things to the table that won't necessarily show themselves via advanced stats. I also agree that Schlemko is easier to trade than Emelin but I also believe Vegas will be happy with him. Unlike most here, I thought Emelin was one of Vegas' better picks, at least when looking at it from their perspective. He's one of their most NHL ready players and they have to have some of those on the squad from the get-go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I wondered if the Habs would consider him since Vegas was going to have to deal away some of their blueliners. I don't mind the addition but I hope they're viewing him as a third pairing player and not someone to play in the top four. A Schlemko-Benn pairing could be a good one, a good skater paired up with a stay-at-home physical player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
