Confirmed with Link: Habs acquire David Schlemko for 2019 5th rounder

[hototogisu]

Good add for a 5th in 2 years. That's bargain bin pricing for sure.

 

[Gainesvillain]

Haha...gotta love BargainBin.

Nice depth move, though. I approve.

 

[jaffy27]

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

Lebrun says he's a good skater. Don't really know him that well

 

[le_sean]

Looks like we found our #1 LD!

 

[Fazkovsky]

Why protect Benn over beaulieu when you get a similar player in Benn afterwise?

 

[chaosrevolver]

oh for sure

but for what we need right now

its completly useless

How? We need a first and third pairing LHD. He is a third pairing guy who can pitch in on 2nd PP.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

It's like you're thinking Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time baby!

 

[Crusher117]

3Y 2.1M 30 years old, shoots left D

Good depth move for a 5th.

 

[Tuggy]

Solid deal.

 

[David Suzuki]

I'm surprised McPhee couldn't get more than a 5th in 2 years but I won't complain. solid depth dman with experience.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

good trade!

 

[DangerDave]

Nice. Schlemko is a good pickup for that price

 

[jaffy27]

Let the bashing begin

 

[DangerDave]

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

He's an excellent skater.

 

[Dichow Stopper]

oh for sure

but for what we need right now

its completly useless

It fills a need so no, not useless.

 

[That Habs Fan]

Decent player, good contract, great skater, a 5th in 2019 is almost a non-asset

Good depth move by Bergy

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

How? We need a first and third pairing LHD. He is a third pairing guy who can pitch in on 2nd PP.

Lernout Jerabek

When are those gonna play if markov resign

with weber?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Who even says Lernout is ready? Jerabek can be a 7th defenseman to transition to North America. No need to rush anybody.

oh for sure

but for what we need right now

its completly useless

No it's not. He's underrated, fills a need and is going to be a regular in our lineup. This isn't some depth 7th-defenseman acquisition. He's going to have a permanent spot in our defense group.

$2.1m for the next 3 years. Not bad.

 

[Habaneros]

Let the bashing begin

WHY ARE THE HABS WASTING 5TH ROUND PICKS?>?>?>?


????


Good deal for the price...this is his 6 team at age 30...So he'll be a Hab for atleast a few years...

 

[Et le But]

Why not I guess?

 

[Roke]

Nice deal with Bergevin doing what he does best - acquiring decent depth defensemen

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Honestly he's a good player. A journeyman a la Benn/Weaver that has flown under the radar but is a solid player. At that price I don't mind it.

 

[habtastic]

Great move, MB! Keep it up brah.

You have 2.5 jobs left. Resign:

Chucky
Radulov
Markov (0.5)

and we're good to go

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

This website describes the player as fast.
https://www.fearthefin.com/2016/12/...the-brenden-dillon-and-david-schlemko-pairing
Schlemko’s speed makes the transition game incredibly fluid.

Not bad for a 5th-rounder.

I'm warming up to MB this summer. He did not lose much yesterday, and I'm still giddy about the Drouin acquisition. I also get the thinking behind the Beaulieu trade, especially if he plans to keep Galchenyuk.

 

[David Suzuki]

Berkshire is a big fan of Schlemko so it must be a bad trade
