Waived: Nikita Scherbak - Claimed by LA

[koyvoo]

and where did Sherbak start the season...


Peca over him (and DLR) lol

Peca is by no means anything special, but he’s better suited for a bottom 6 role than Scherbak. At least Peca has a pulse. And, Sherbak doesn’t have anywhere near the talent to be a top 6 player. He literally has no use at the NHL level.

sometimes you gotta put it on the player....5 years is a long time....

look at Byron when he showed up....look at David D....

They came in and did what it took to stick.....Sherby had chances but unspectacular camps and injuries...bottom line.
Sekac had more hype...and he didn't look great out west...

What ?

Mete had a great camp what they did ? They keep him.
Juulsen had a great camp what they did ? They keep him
Kotkaniemi? was supposed to return in the Liigaa bt they keep him
Even Xavier Ouellet who was supossed to be with Laval he had a good camp they did ? They keep him

You really think MB didn't want to keep a former 1st round pick if he had a good camp ?

Bang on. Its up to the player to make it hard for the team not to keep him. Scherbak has had how many camps and each time he failed to impress. I'm not worried about losing him at all. In three weeks, he'll be in the AHL. If McCarron does not smarten up he will be gone this summer as well.

No place for him on the top 6 anyway . Next season Suzuki will be better them him

agree, not everyone becomes addicted after trying...

but really, people should drop the substance abuse insinuations, I mean, people would be shocked to learn who does what...

We're not supposed to post rumors here, but I was very connected to people in Ottawa who knew the Senators. It's a small town and used to hang out at night clubs the Senators used to frequent. Basically I knew people who worked there who hung out with the Senators. They said Redden, McGratten, Spezza and Emery were big into coke. McGratten ended up going to rehab, Redden and Spezza had a rapid deterioration in their effectiveness well before the end of their prime, and Emery's career was perhaps affected...

When Timmins references his disappointment that some young players stay up late playing video games and don't take care of their bodies, I sometimes wondered if he had Scherbak in mind...

So this is the second time we waived a player and the team with first dibs on the waiver wire claimed them. Tells me those players had value and should've been traded not waived.

thats the way you got to look at this...

Tatar over Shurby
Suzuki over Shurby

We sorely need another player in the top 6. I'd even take 2 more on top of that to move lehkonen and Byron to the 4th line. A 4th line:

Drouin Domi Suzuki
Tatar Kotkaniemi Galllagher
____ Poehling ____
Lehkonen Danault Byron
Armia, Shaw, Hudon

great example of bad assets management...

kept DD for too long, gave him preferential treatment, when he stopped being favored he stopped being a NHLer
turned Sekac into a NHL player, but couldnt resist and traded this NHL player for the great Matteau



kept Peca over both DLR and Sherbak, Peca is not even playing anymore... lol

Teams where ready to try them for free but where no ready to give asset for them..

could Detroit trade DLR right now and get anything?

 

[MaxDummy]

. I like Phoeling as well.

One would think that if you like him so much you would at least write his name correctly

My guess? You've Seen him play 8 Games. MAX

 

[ECWHSWI]

why would teams give assets for players who did not play a single NHL game this season ?

for the money DD was a steal for years..the guy was making 1 mill or less it was a steal.....and DD will have way more Pts than Shurby evrr will..i believe that..lol

Much more likley we see Shurb go KHL less game less ..less chance of injury

I go with 5 max.

good on him, thing is, Habs chose to keep Peca over Sherbak, not DD...

Just a question for you.

Who do you prefer player 1 or 2 ?

1 = 29 games 7 pts 0,211 PPG

2 = 41 games 13 pts 0,32 PPG

Sekac an NHL player - seriously. He went on to play 58 games for three different teams. Hardly. And by the way he was traded for Devante Smith Pelly.
