Nikita Scherbak Called up


Commandant

Recommended Posts

Trade them both together and you might get a 7th?

 

Logan Shaw and Froese being a 3rd and 4th round draft pick respectively. 

 

3rd+4th=7th 

 

Is that how it works?

Why not keep them? Maybe you get a 6th round pick at the deadline from someone. 

 

Is it worth it to get 2 more games for Scherbak or explore an extra 6th or 7th round pick. 

 

Is 2 games in the AHL instead of the NHL really going to effect his development. 

 

No... but it might effect my enjoyment of the game I'm going to this Saturday.... :wacko:  I was looking forward to seeing him live!

Nobody is giving up a 17th round pick for Logan Shaw or Froese. 

 

They are both wastes of pro contracts.

 

Two teams are apparently interested in Luke Glendening who makes $1.8 million per year for this year and 2 more afterwards. 

 

The Canucks are about to give Erik Gudbranson a multi-year deal at something over $4 million per year.

 

The Capitals gave up a 3rd rounder for Michal Kempny.

 

You never know when GMs will get stupid.

well our GM did trade for Ott, King and Martinsen to solidify us for the playoffs.  Is there any other dumb GM's to take advantage off???  Where's Milbury when you need him?  IMO, they should start a new GM award - the Mike Milbury award - MB would have won it the last three year's running, with Dorian a close second this year.

Can Bergevin trade with himself ?

The Gurdrbranson deal (3 years at 4 per) looks like a genius move compared to the cosmic ball of stupidity that was the Alzner signing. However, both deals are symptoms of teams that just do not have any depth at defence in their systems. Benning's done a good job of adding young FWs, but the back end is a shambles, organizationally. Same with the Habs. When the alternative to garbage is actual festering poop, you go with the garbage, even at a dumbass contract.

Gudbranson's analytics show that he is actual festering poop though. 

Alzner is paid more for longer, so that sucks, but he's a better defenceman (barely) 

 

There is no reason to give Gudbranson anything more than $1 million in 2018 NHL. He's a player that the game has passed him by.   That said, there is no reason to pay Alzner either.

They're both old school players rewarded by questionable management groups manned by dinosaurs. I think in Van's case they like Gurdbranson's age (26) and seem to have convinced themselves that he's been hamstrung by injuries in his time there - foolishly hoping that his last few outings, which were widely praised, represent the 'real' Gurdbranson. Dumb, but I still think the Alzner deal is dumber. At least the G-man may have *some* sort of unrealized upside. Alzner is locked in for another four years right as he enters the downside of his career; typical stupidity from Mr Magoo.

Scherbek called back up.

 

 

There is no way they bring up Scherbek permanently without moving another winger out... right?

That's what I think too. A. Shaw? Lehkonen? Byron?

Not necessarily.  They've shown they have no problems sitting guys like Carr, Logan Shaw, etc, so they'd have no issue sitting one more player with Scherbak up.  The interesting thing is the timing, doing it now instead of via a paper transaction which will make him ineligible to play in the AHL after the season comes to an end.

Even if the Habs are eliminated?

 

That's... dumb.

As I look at Laval's schedule, they will have two games left after Montreal's season comes to an end.  I'd still want him to play those games but I thought they had more games to play than that.

Oh, in that case nevermind, it doesn't really matter.

They save the four callup spots by doing it this way. 

 

Gotta assume guys like Valiev, McCarron, Lernout will get auditions. 

Reilly?
