Waived: Nikita Scherbak - Claimed by LA

[Deebs]

too bad he's so skilled.

But doesn't compete or play sound fundamental hockey.

 

[GoodKiwi]

Followed by 4 straight gems in the years after you carefully selected to push your agenda!

2015 Juulsen
2016 Sergachev
2017 Poehling
2018 Kotkaniemi

Actually, his post is more factually correct than yours is.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Sherbust noooooooo!!!

 

[Fazkovsky]

I would be a bit surprised if he doesn’t get claimed.

We all underrate on how many sherbaks, agostinos, shinkaruks , zykovs there is in pro hockey

 

[EXPOS123]

So where are all the Timmins defenders who kept telling me 3 years is too soon to judge whether a prospect is a bust or not ? I knew it after the first year this guy was never gonna pan out just like most of the picks we make except for Kotka. Fire our scouting staff already it is the laughingstock of the league ( not to mention our entire upper management)

 

[habsfan909]

Another one bites the bust!

That's 5 busts in 6 years.

Well done Trevor Timmins! Take a bow!

But but but... the 2007 draft!!!!

Unreal. This guy had 1 great draft and how blown so many picks since and somehow still has a job. Guess I'm not surprised since MB still has a job as well.
Mind blowing.

 

[Uncle Gary]

That is truly incredible.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

I still blame our development staff over the drafting committee.

 

[26Mats]

Actually, his post is more factually correct than yours is.

Evaluating a scout based on the worst years and ignoring the best years is just intellectually dishonest.

 

[ArtPeur]

Another Russian gone, the last of them

Can't wait for Romanov to be traded/waived!

None of those guys are top 4 dmen or top 6 forwards as of right now.

Also, 2015 and 2017 were strong draft years, hes not the only one to find a "gem".

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Since he took over:

Higgins

AK

Chipchura

Price

Fischer

McDonagh/Pacioretty

Leblanc

Tinordi

Beaulieu

Galchenyuk

McCarron

Scherbak

Juulsen

Sergarchev

This is partly why I give Bergevin some credit. We somehow have lots of young talent while having all of our first rounders bust lol

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

He could be a good NHL player if he could skate. Games all about speed right now and he clearly can't keep up :/

 

[cphabs]

He showed nothing at the NHL level

I think it is more a testament to our player development.

Poehling isn't a gem at this point... lets see him in the NHL first.

And why should we be impressed by drafting a good player with the #3 overall pick in 2018? You have to really F up to not draft well at #3 overall.

 

[26Mats]

That is truly incredible.

Yeah it's incredible how bad our GMs did at retaining great players like Subban and McDonagh.

At least we got Domi, Drouin, Tatar, and Suzuki for Pacioretty, Galchenyuk, and Sergachev.

Only tsars survive

Sherbak wasnt that bad better then le chouchou deslauriers

Bergevin is the one keeping Timmins...

Poehling hasn't played a game in the NHL and Juulsen is a nobody so far. Gem? What does that make Subban, an actually good pick?

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Bergevin is the one keeping Timmins...

In Timmins defence, he's a very reliable spot when MBs benchpressing

 

[Frank Drebin]

Timmins is an above average chief scout! What more could you want?

"The day they made me pick Sherbak"

Timmins probably wanted to draft Point TBH.

Kotkaniemi is great pick, but it balances out Scherbak/Mccarron being crap ones

He stands on a phonebook

Love too include picks from 15 years ago who have since retired from hockey

And why should we be impressed by drafting a good player with the #3 overall pick in 2018? You have to really F up to not draft well at #3 overall.

Yakupov, Ryan Murray, and Griffin Reinhart were all drafted right around Galchneyuk. And we were looking for a center that draft. The next centers were Grigorenko (whom a lot were heavily pushing) and Faksa.

Jagr went 5th overall, right after Mike Ricci at 4th overall, keith Primeau at #3 overall, and Peter Nedved at #2 overall.

The most important thing you can do as a scout is nail your high lottery picks.
