xXx..CK..xXx Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.... I was looking forward to seeing him live! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Bergevin trade with himself ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know when GMs will get stupid. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I liked Gudbranson in Kingston. That was a very long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Scherbek called back up. There is no way they bring up Scherbek permanently without moving another winger out... right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

Commandant Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 They save the four callup spots by doing it this way. Gotta assume guys like Valiev, McCarron, Lernout will get auditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I'm guessing Rychel will be the 4th. I'm assuming they will want to get a look at him to figure out what they have and if he should be qualified or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
