Rumor: Mark Streit received 1 year offer from Bergevin (TVA)

[SnapVirus]

Schlemko is closer to Benn.

People believing he is replacing Markov are crazy.

Schlemko replaces beaulieu. He is a really good skating dman with high IQ, good skill and a nice shot.

He is a legit steal. He played behind a tremendous top 4 in SJ. Wouldn't be surprised to see him take a step up here in Mtl.

He is a 30 year old dman that has not stuck anywhere. He is far from being good...come on how many players suddenly step up at 30? If he was so good he would not be on his 8th team in 4 years.

If Mark Streit is not signed yet, its probably cauze the rumor is false.

Why wouldnt he sign? Retirement coming?

 

[Habs Halifax]

If Mark Streit is not signed yet, its probably cauze the rumor is false.

Why wouldnt he sign? Retirement coming?

Because he likely is being offered a 1 year $1M contract and will wait to see if another team will offer more maybe? Hard to say. I think Bergevin is interested but only if it's a $1M salary for 1 year. If he don't work, we can hide his salary in the AHL and it don't count against the cap

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

What a wacky signature this would be if we bring Streit back.

Other than experienc,e he doesn't have much else to offer. An accurate shot maybe.

No speed, mediocre defense, no physicality. Not a smart signing if this happens regardless of money.

Maybe waiting on Markov's answer a la Hemsky and Radulov ?

That's my guess.

"No speed"? Then the rest of the defensive corps, other than Petry, is immobile. In my over 60 years of watching this team this is comparatively, the slowest group of defencemen that I have ever seen, or feared. I'm afraid that we will be spending the next several years watching our beloved team being forechecked to death. Compare our defence to the Ducks or the Hurricanes, and you want to cry.

We can't draft well and we can't trade. And we can't retain or attract free agents. There is no concept of progressive and intuitive asset management in this team's current leadership group.

Until this team eschews its regressive approach in hiring practices and truly seeks the best people rather than the best persons of a limited linguistic class, we will continue to flounder.

Hockey is now clearly a world game which has lapped and passed Montreal's ownership imperatives.

That is all.

He was claimed twice on waivers in the same year and never really got a chance to settle down.

He finally got some stability in Jersey and had a good year but he was on a one-year deal and hit the market at the end of his deal. Sharks signed him to a 4-year deal so they clearly saw some potential there and he didn't disappoint, Sharks fans are pissed they lost him.

Last 2 seasons:

Petry 131 GP 44 P with ~22 min TOI/GP 5.5M

Schlemko 129 GP 37 P with ~18 min TOI/GP 2.1M for 3 more years!

Seriously this guy is a steal, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets to play with Weber.

 

[Adriatic]

Can he still shoot the puck. because if he can he might be more useful than Beaulieuuu

 

[le_sean]

Hey, don't bash Beaulieu's 64mph slapshot. He puts a lot of effort into it.

 

[Fazkovsky]

would rather give a chance to Beauchemin at this point

Or Simon Despres

How about his -22? 2nd worst on the team. Larsson was +15, Greene +7.

Summer hype all it is to me.

Looking at +/- without actually watching how he was utilized is futile. I

 

[Belial]

Summer hype all it is to me.

Schlemko got to play with Moore, Gelinas, and Merril for the majority of the season, defensive studs right there.

Green got to play with Larsson the whole year and Larsson is a defensive beast.

Now that Larsson's gone Green was -16 this season while Larsson leads the Oilers D with a + 21.

+4 with the Sharks on par with Vlasic. Tied with Dillon for the best GA/60 on the team, they played together actually.

 

[The Great Weal]

He was also very good in the playoffs, whereas Beaulieu

 

[Doc McKenna]

He was also very good in the playoffs, whereas Beaulieu

You could easily just change Beaulieu to Habs-Radulov. WHO WE DIDN'T SIGN!!! Grrrr

 

[the valiant effort]

He was also very good in the playoffs, whereas Beaulieu

He played in 3 of 25 playoff games, dude.

well since you asked. Streit would be one example. He just isn't any good at 40.

We know in the CBA that for multi year deals for 35+ players that you are stuck with the cap hit if the player doesn't make it to year 2 or 3. I assume same holds true for a 1 year deal? If Streit gets signed and ends up waived, we are stuck with the cap hit regardless?

Theres a higher chance that no team want him than there is teams bidding on him. If its true that the habs offered him a contract, he shouldve taken it easily. Not to mention, theres a lot of ties between him and the habs.

In other words you have not watched him play and know nothing about him. You meet all the necessary qualifications on these boards to make a defining analysis on a player by quoting stats.........congratulations and thank you for your unique insight.

It's going to be interesting watching the Habs regress and the "press" looking for scapegoats to blame.

Nice post Belial.

Lehkonen was our only minus player last year out of the guys who played more than 70 games.

Beaulieu was +8 and Emelin +1

Lehko must be terrible, right?

You are entitled to your opinion. I based mine on rewatching San Jose games from last year, you've apparently made yours based on arbitrary, superficial stats.

I'm sure you will come around to him eventually, so I have no qualms here.

In other words Schlemko is a mediocre D picked up by a mediocre GM for a mediocre franchise.
