Player Discussion Corey Schueneman

[Beer and Chips]

As long as he is signed he probably doesn't care what the fans call him.

 

[Wats]

Will he be sent down ? He’s play better then Clague, Chiarot and probably Kulak will be traded. I would keep him for the rest of the year

Clague has been pretty disappointing, I'd rather keep Schueneman and let Clague go come re-sign time.

 

[26Mats]

He makes trading Kulak an easier move.

Tsn690 were speculating we may not move Kulak, if the plan is to move Chiarot, Petry, and Edmundson by TDL 2023.

They may not move anybody. Buyer's market so far, lots of available players, not much cap space, not much movement.

Chiarot will be moved this year. Petry and Edmundson most probably next year.

I suppose if we continue going on a tear under MSL they may want to keep the team together for next year, especially if the return for Chiarot is really bad. But I think he'll be moved. We can always retain salary and or take back salary in a deal.

Pretty much for sure slow vets Chiarot and Perreault are dealt, Perreault even if for peanuts.

For sure if they get a reasonable offer. I just hope they don't have to take a lowball offer. Chiarot should be in demand, and more so as the trade deadline gets closer and the cap hit drops.

And we can retain and take back contracts, so salary shouldn't be an issue.

The talking heads like Dreger are saying many teams love Ben Chiarot. So it should work out. But Hughes seems ready to take a 1st, so that would indicate no one's offered one yet...

at any rate, I'll just wait until the deadline. no point in worrying what each GM around the league is holding in their hand. The chips will go down and the hands will be revealed by the TDL...

I've seen some comments that it's a buyer's market. If they haven't traded him it's because they haven't had an offer they want. Hughes made it clear that if they get an offer they like they'll make the deal. It's possible they are just waiting for the deadline to lower cap hits, though.

 

[ForeverHabs97]

This guy is really under the radar on this board.
I'm excited to see this guy play tonight and hope he sticks around... much better than Wideman or Clague.

Pretty sure he's still under contract with the Habs next year.

We could do worse than Kulak for the cap hit to be honest. I'd be comfortable with him staying, unless a GM out there is even more committed to the Kulak hype train in terms of a potential payment.....

Oh and on topic, Schuneman is quietly being solid and is solidifying a 3rd pairing spot on a combination of merit and lack of competition.

that's not saying much though.

I would only want Kulak back if the plan is to tank. He's way too inconsistent imo.

I'm also ok with Kulak. He's got good size and speed, if not the most adept with the puck at times. But if he's playing with a solid partner, that's not much of an issue.

I have Schuneman as part of my 6 D moving forward. I would like to trade all of Chiarot, Eddie, and Petry (and Savard) and see Schuneman as being a solid dman to fill an open spot.

 

[Doc5]

Lots of untapped potential here

Lots of untapped potential here

he'll be 27 before next season starts so not sure how much untapped potential there is

 

[Natey]

Could definitely have a solid 6-7 year career though. Without the pandemic he could have proved himself a lot quicker.

 

[Habs10Habs]

He just goes about his business. I barely even notice him most of the time.

 

[NewDef]

Schueneman will be 27 this year and has played lots of hockey in various leagues. Definitely a more experienced NHL "rookie" player.

Seems he understand the game reaaaly well due to experience and keeps his cool under pressure, makes the right decisions.

They say good def develop longer, i'd take the 6-7 reliable D he can be in a reset year.

Finding the late bloomers, the undrafted projects, the 7th round small studs, etc., a team has to take a few shots at those to sometime find a legit NHLer. It's part of the game and he who not try not win... i like Schueneman, just solid play in the right chair.

 

[NORiculous]

He really seems stress free out there.

 

[jaffy27]

Allows us to trade Kulak

This is my exact thought, I absolutely love this player, he’s a perfect 6-7….so good with the puck, good IQ too

 

[Player 61]

That first Goal Puck in NHL is Nothing But the Family even in USA, Priceless, Family Aeirloom. (Not sure how to spell that? Neither does Google) R.

 

[admiralcadillac]

Shockingly confident. He’ll make seemingly low percentage plays because he knows he can make them. High IQ.

 

[Habs13]

Missed his goal tonight because I was out rocking to Sepultura! How was it?

 

[Scintillating10]

I hope he is here to stay

 

[Intangir]

Shoe has played extremely well for us given how long the odds were against him ever making it into the NHL and succeeding to start the year.

He has such poise, such calmness out there as a rookie defenseman. I got used to his high level of play after a couple of games, but at first Schueneman would regularly startle me, make me do double-takes, with his quality, efficient play in all three zones given how unused I am to our AHL call-ups playing so well and responding to pressure so seamlessly.

Normally you get someone from the AHL to fill-in when injuries hit, they come up feeling the pressure and trying their best but almost always ultimately failing to accomplish much because of nervousness or lacking tools. Schueneman though? He gets put into the lineup with barely a moment's notice, plays incredibly steadily, makes high-IQ plays without missing a beat, looks GRRR-EAT in a smaller role on the bottom-pairing and the coach notices so he plays more, and he is still pretty freaking good even with more minutes.

Seriously, I think we may have gotten a very solid bottom-pairing defenseman for years to come.
