Player Discussion Nikita Scherbak - Stay In Yo Lane Edition

[Rapala]

Lmao

I was against calling Scherbak up and this is why. Mess with his confidence sending him down after scoring a beauty goal.

If they aren't going to top 6 him which it seems isn't in the cards for now send him back. Much better than dying on the vine with hacks.

I could understand this from an asset management point of view (ie sending down the guy who doesn't have to clear waivers).. but when the "assets" you're worried about losing are Byron Froese and Logan Shaw, it makes it absolutely hilarious. We have a handful of plugs on the roster who could get waived and not claimed, instead we send down one of the few bright spots.

 

[CauZuki]

They are going to ruin him , aren't they...

Shaw is close to returning as well...so one of our waiver fodder fellows is gonna be on waivers soon.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

This is disappointing. I think I've already lost faith in Julien... he's making the same dumb lineup moves that Therrien did, but with far less discipline being shown on the ice. Say what you want about Therrien, and I wasn't a fan, but his teams were responsible defensively and disciplined. Right now everyone's skating around like their heads are cut off...

LOGAN ****ING SHAW JUST WENT THROUGH WAIVERS AND WE PICKED HIM UP

Whos going to pick him ?Arizona?

Doesn’t matter, you don’t lose assets for anything

 

[Habs100]

I was for calling him up but not with the idea to send him back. He had to be called up and stayed up. There is NOTHING great at being in the AHL, at a slower pace, being coached by Lefebvre, in a terrible team.

He'll be fine for a week. Let's see what happens after the deadline. If he's not back up then, then I'll have a problem with it.

Logan Shaw is not an asset.

Its a great start

Theyre a couple years late than they were with galchenyuk, they started the ruin on galchy when he was 18 and scherbs is 22, but, you just give this management time buddy boy, theyll get it done, and by done i mean ruin the kid.

 

[Habs100]

Good times.

There's a Kovalev interview on rds.ca. He says that come back from down 5 - 0 to winning 6 - 5 was one of the best moments of his career.

Have you seen our sorry sack of wingers. He's definitely a top 6 winger as a rookie. Haha.

Sacre Bleu Jaffy.
Let's worry about losing a waiver pick up for zip while we conveniently ignore losing Radulov.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Logan Shaw is not an asset.

I lol’d really hard at this.

He will be called up after the tdl when there is no contract limit.
So he will miss just a few nhl games

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[ImNeverWrong]

Lol call him up IF he plays well in the ahl. Not because he played well in the nhl. This is how our team is run. Unbelievable.

 

[Rapala]

Hey I'm with you on this. I just don't want him slogging on a third or fourth.

 

[ImNeverWrong]

Hey I'm with you on this. I just don't want him slogging on a third or fourth.

The new lineups are out. Galchenyuk is now on the third line too. Haha. Scherbak could have been third line buddies with chucky!

 

[Habs100]

Logan Shaw is not an asset.

I wasn't against claiming Logan Shaw off of waivers. But so far all he's done is pretty much take away ice time from Carr and now Scherbak.

Not his fault though, that's on the idiots in management.

Bergevin: Let's take Carr, whose one of our leading ppg players, even though he plays on the 4th line, out of the lineup for 10 games at a time every time he doesn't score. And let's yo-yo our most promising prospect back and forth between Laval and the NHL now that he's gotten into a grove in the NHL.

The foxhole crew: Brilliant stuff. Here here. Let's do it.

I'm sure they have explained to him why they are sending him down, and he will get called up in a week.

The whole point of assets management here is not about loosing one of those. No one cares about Froese or Logan Shaw. But you never know which team is going to grab a player on waiver and this can have a snowball effect, because that end up being one less spot to fill. X player getting grabbed by a team could mean that team is not going to bid for player Y, who is now competing with one of the players we are trying to unload.

No GMs are going to give away a freebie at this point of the year, when 1/3 of all teams are trying to unload a bunch of players.

It is not about winning or saving money anymore, and there is plenty of games left to play Scherbak until the end of the season.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Waivers likely a factor with Scherbak being sent down. We don't need wins so I really don't care and all this does is keep Scherbak hungry and more motivated. It's part of the process and I am sure he understands.

 

[boompuffboom]

Bergevin is a clown. That is all.

 

[Habs100]

Bergevin is a clown. That is all.

The problem is that he's an employed clown. That has to change real quick.

 

[Habs Halifax]

The problem is that he's an employed clown. That has to change real quick.

If Bergevin stays and we have more Alzner contracts this summer, there is going to be a riot in Montreal!

 

[jaffy27]

Logan Shaw is not an asset.

Yes he is
