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

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Solid depth move. 5-6 defenseman at a reasonable cost by the looks of it. Wont overly comment as i bet most of us barely paid attention to his career

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Good deal

He got Schlemko for a 5th and received a 3rd for Beaulieu

Not bad, after 5 years might be a little hope from Bargain bin

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

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



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.

We signed Jerabek 1 year at 26 year olds. whats the point for him to come in the NHL and be a 7th def?

 

[NobleSix]

Le Bin De Bargain!!!!!!!

 

[Le Barron de HF]

IIRC he's kind of like Gilbert in terms of physical tools. Personally, I didn't mind Gilbert but I know most people on this board hated him. I like this trade.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Now let's just hope that Bergevin dont trade galchy for Hamonic or Scandella

 

[chaosrevolver]

Lernout Jerabek

When are those gonna play if markov resign

with weber?

When they are ready? Earn your spot.

 

[Habaneros]

This website describes the player as fast.

Schlemko’s speed makes the transition game incredibly fluid.
Not bad for a 5th-rounder.

One note,,,he has never played a full season in the NHL...age 30

 

[Runner77]

Last season, Schlemko amassed two goals and 18 points in 62 regular-season games with the San Jose Sharks, before chipping in with two goals and three points in six playoff outings.

Anyone have more on him?

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

When they are ready? Earn your spot.

Jerabek already played in the KHL

pretty sure hes more than ready

 

[Riggins]

Good add to play with Benn and bring some mobility.

Now need that partner for Weber still..

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

He makes 2.1 a year until 2020, is that a fair contract? I haven't watched him enough, only when he plays the Habs

 

[mitchmagic]

I like Schlemko. Cheap and good deal.

 

[Kenny Powders]

Jerabek already played in the KHL

pretty sure hes more than ready

Rather have a depth guy like Schlemko than Jerabek in case he's not ready

 

[PecnoTrunk]

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

Yea seriously wtf is that!!!

Omg we have an incompetent as president and as manager

Omg

We are trying to fill the hole left in the subban deal and now with emelin and bealieu that hole became a crater to fill. We trade 2 top 5 and we go out to get a player the sharks didn't want vegas didn't want. Omg

 

[void]

Ok trade. Still need a top 4 tho.

 

[Svart]

To Vegas:
A. Emelin
5th

To Montreal:
Schlemko
2M cap space
Keep Hudon, Davidson & DLR

 

[AHShadow]

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

He's an excellent skater.

Good to hear. So he's basically another Benn type D that skates a bit better? Schlemko - Benn seems like a nice bottom pair. Now if we can just upgrade Jerabek/Davidson on the top 4 we should be set. I actually wouldn't mind going for

Markov - Weber
Davidson/Jerabek - Petry
Schlemko - Benn

If it means keeping Galchenyuk

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Rather have a depth guy like Schlemko than Jerabek in case he's not ready

oh of course im 100% with u on this 1

its just that if we signed him from the KHL i expect him to play this year

 

[That Habs Fan]

Decent player, great skater, good contract, and we gave up next to nothing to acquire him.

He will be perfect for the 3rd pairing with Benn, we still need a top 4 LHD though...

This eases some of the anxiety I was having looking at our D though.

As of now:

?-Weber
Markov-Petry
Schlemko-Benn
Davidson
Lernout

unknown: Jerabek

 

[coolasprICE]

I like his name

 

[M.C.G. 31]

We signed Jerabek 1 year at 26 year olds. whats the point for him to come in the NHL and be a 7th def?

So we just hand out spots because they decide to sign with us? You make it sound like all European/Russian signings immediately make the jump to the NHL.

 

[GREMLIN]

Love it, Schlemko is good.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

He was solid with the sharks last year

 

[habsterr]

At least we got Schlemko for dirt cheap.
