Player Discussion Nikita Scherbak - Stay In Yo Lane Edition

[OldCraig71]

If Molson doesn't fire him on the spot for proposing a deal like that, it's all on Molson.

I have reached the point where I never expect that Bergevin will do the right thing.

I was stunned when he didn't get the Radulov deal done and cavalierly said: "It's first come, first served." How could he think an already weak offense wouldn't be a total disaster without Radulov and Markov and there being no back up options available.

My theory is that he never intended to sign either player, he only initially signed Radulov after not being able to get Perron or Lucic and gave Rads a 1 year deal when he wanted 2. Markov being a long time loyal player for the franchise never had to get to July 1st.(Markov said that there was very little communication from MB) Bergevin went after Nick Bonino with hopes that he would be our number one center and then thought that he could replace Markov and Radulov with Hemsky and Streit.

Love this place.....

Bergevin is an idiot for leaving Scherbak in the minors

Bergevin is an idiot for bringing him up, should’ve let him dominate the AHL

Which one is it folks???

But I'm sure this place would be calling for a riot if Scherbak had been kept up and Logan Shaw was place on waivers and then lost to waivers.

Such a travesty would have caused quite the explosion.

 

[Hostile Offer]

What do you think this 'asset' is worth? 6th rounder? Ham sandwich?

It's still a free 6th rounder. Scherbak should be back up by Tuesday next week. I don't mind this move as long as they don't plan on keeping Scherbak in the minors long term.

 

[jaffy27]

Well, if Bergevin is still GM and we do win the lottery he could very well trade Dahlin to the hawks for Toews.

Come on man, you know that's not happening.....whoever is drafting first is DRAFTING Dahlin

This place is very knee jerk.....remember last year with Frederic Gaudreau from Nashville.....Bergevin was such an idiot for not aquiring him, or missing out on him

Frederic Gaudreau 2017/18 stats......0 goals in 20 games

Expect the unexpected.

 

[LaP]

Yes he is

No he is not.

The only league Logan Shaw is an asset is the AHL.

 

[jaffy27]

Expect the unexpected.

Touché lol

 

[Habs Halifax]

Called back up after the trade deadline?

 

[neopreneur]

Can we call him up now that Jerabek has been traded?

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Called back up after the trade deadline?

He better be.

 

[Habs100]

I honestly think that Scherbak has the potential to be better than Galchenyuk and Drouin.

This isn't really saying much, because I'm only saying potential. But it's still good news to have a prospect with such high potential.

Bascially I think the talent and skill level is comparable, but both Galchenyuk and Drouin often hang on to the puck too long and miss a play that was there to be made. I think Scherbak sees the ice very well and may be able to make the right decision with the puck quicker. But of course it's still early and he needs time to develop.

It is nice to have a reason to watch the games

If he is a goalie then we missed out big.

 

[BaseballCoach]

Cap Friendly has Scherbak with another year as RFA, showing his 2015-16 year as a SLIDE. I know he started the year as a 19 year old, turning 20 in December, but he played 48 games in the AHL and 3 games in the NHL. Does that not constitute the first year of his contract, and if so, is he not RFA this year?

 

[HBDay]

There is a great chance that scherbak becomes my favourite canadien in a long time.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

That power move was filthy.

The rules seem to be

If a player who is signed to an entry-level contract and is 18 or 19 years of age (as of September 15 of the signing year), does not play in a minimum of 10 NHL games (including both regular season and playoffs; AHL games do not count), their contract is considered to ‘slide’, or extend, by one year. For example, if a player signed an ELC for three seasons from 2015-16 to 2017-2018, and their contract slides, their contract is now effective from 2016-17 to 2018-19. An exception to this rule is that if the player is 19 on September 15 of the first year of their contract, and turns 20 between September 16 and December 31, their contract does not slide.

Despite playing a "full" AHL season, he didn't play 10 NHL games and was 19 as of Sep 15th, so the contract slides.

I can't wait until he hits his peak, but he's still the type of player that will come along a little slowly. I just can't stand seeing him play with defensive players. He had Shaw as his center today and it was even worse last game.

Galchenyuk 2.0.

Habs management will never learn...

Could watch that goal for days

he's got the talent. And I think he's got a good head on his shoulders. I just hope he gets good coaching and puts it all together. At least he's a winger and we don't have to worry about the coach playing him on the wing even though he should be at center.

It was very Radulov like that's for sure. Full credit to Scherbak on the progression he has made, people were writing him off but he came into this season with authority and if it wasn't for his earlier injury this season he likely would have more goals right now.
