Value of: David Schlemko

[xNogaitx]

I was wondering, with him being sidelined for most of the season due to injury, is there still some value to this guy at the draft?

A puck moving bottom-pairing guy signed to a reasonable contract for another 2 seasons.

Would a package Schlemko + Mtl's 5th rd pick be able to land say... a mid-3rd rd pick? If so, what teams would be interested out there?

Also, it's a minimal contract already but I believe Mtl could easily retain half (1.05M) if needed to bump up the value.

You'll probably have to sweeten the deal by adding a prospect to the deal. It's not as bad as Bickell/Teravainen or Bolland/Crouse, though.

I'll say Schlemko+Daniel Audette for, I don't know, Vancouver 3rd or 4th rounder.

Devils should re-acquire him.

 

[mrinsane]

De La Rose and Schlemko for a 3rd rounder?

De La Rose and Schlemko for a 3rd rounder?

I don't see the point. De La Rose is useful for us.

Why would the Canucks want scchlemko lol

I would love him back in Calgary is if Brodie does in fact get moved at the deadline.

He's a decent player, think a 3rd would be enough for him though.

You might get a 5th for him.

If the Caps ditch Orpik and let both Kempny and Jerabek walk, I'd poke around at him.

 

[A91]

Will take him on the Oilers

 

[Satastic]

He was pretty solid for the Sharks, I think he's worth a gamble for next year for a team

I'd take any mid round pick for him straight up.

It's funny how fans from all the teams he has been on in the past liked him and would take him back. Maybe his play has just been sub-par this season due to injuries, or maybe we got our expectations up a bit too much based on what people were telling us in the off-season. At the end of the day, Reilly, Mete and Juulsen all looked a lot better and there's not much room for him on our roster as an extra with the kind of contract he has.

It's all about his usage I think. . Schlemko should be a bottom pairing guy playing 16 minutes a night, with occasional 3/4 minutes but we've unfortuantly had to play him in the 20 range most of the season. We see him a lot more, and he faces a high quality of competition that exposes him.

Reilly has been real good as has Juulsen, but it is garbage time. Fingers crossed that they can keep this up into next season. Mete meanwhile started the season hot but moved himself down the depth chart. He played the minutes Schlemko ideally would have been playing most games. 14-16 mintutes ish. Hard to really compare the two's seasons (imo).

Realistically, I think we get some value on Schlmeko if we choose to move him. Depth D-Men were had at a bargain thanks to Vegas flooding the market. Could be a bit quieter this summer so I wouldn't be shocked to see us do a bit better for him. We traded a 5th for him, I'd expect a late 3rd to 5th round pick someplace as his value should we move him. We might have to take a contract back in the transaction.
