[Montreal Impact FC]

We are ready for the cup run!

 

[chaosrevolver]

Schlemko is actually a solid add.

He will be good on the left side of Benn.

 

[Pegasus]

Good player, good contract

 

[Hope Of Glory]

I'd rather have Schlemko at whatever $$ he makes than Emelin as a depth defenseman, that's for sure.

Seems like a good small deal.

 

[Agalloch]

Good deal. Good skater IIRC. Cheap cap hit for 3 years. Bring a need on the left side.

So the trade is Beaulieu and a 5th 2019 for Schlemko and 3rd round pick 2017.

 

[Jaynki]

Stupid Mb. Another depth player. Bargainbin. Imagine that 5th rd pick. Could be a star. Stupid MB



Had a feeling yesterday we would get him via trade. I dont know much about him. Seems like a good pickup to replace Emelin in the bottom pair at a lower cost.

 

[Luigi Habs]

He can play bottom pairing with Benn.

Markov with Petry.

Now only need #1 LD with Weber. Let's do it.

 

[AHShadow]

I assume he'll be playing on our bottom pair just looking at his stats. Is he a mobile D?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

That solves one problem on our LD at least.

Vegas... they have a great plan! ...

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I'd rather have Schlemko at whatever $$ he makes than Emelin as a depth defenseman, that's for sure.

oh for sure

but for what we need right now

its completly useless

 

[deandebean]

2019!!!! Will I be alive in 2019???

 

[Kid Dynomite]

Plan the parade down the usual route.

Seriously though, they need depth on the back end now that Sergachev, Beaulieu and Emelin are gone and this is the start of rebuilding the defensive ranks.

 

[FireBurningBin]

So Schlemko, Benn, Davidson, Jerabek on the left side?
