Waived: Nikita Scherbak - Claimed by LA

[Habby4Life]

Both were not developed or drafted by us...

Who cares, the kid could not make it. Mtl needs better drafting for sure.

Oh its the russsian conspirarcy thing now. Lol.

I didn't even respond to you with that post, that was in jest to my good friend Runner77.

You can find 4th liners and role players in a number of places. They're often on the wire on account of roster crunches. And every NHL team has someone in the AHL who can be called up to fill that role. They are 4th liners for a reason.

And you can fine NHL/AHL player like Scherbak everywhere to

 

[Habaneros]

Even if the kid checked every box he still is Russian, I could see a photoshop done by you that has the Russia factor at the bottom of the checklist. I think you can do something here lol.

Kovy27 ..lazy at times..trouble....Gainey took him for walks..lol

Makhail Grabovski...off ice issues...trouble..demanded trade

Ak47..lazy at times...in trouble off ice..bad press newspaper

And yet he was claimed by the first team that could.

 

[OldCraig71]

Wtf does that have to do withit. He sucks and could not beat others out of a job

You compared him to dlo but forgot that he was a first round pick and should be more valuable to an organisation than a 4th line/ AHL plug.

WAS had Wilson Orpik DSP Beagle
Hawks Had Shaw Bickell Desjardins
LA had King Lewis Clifford
VGK had Bellemare Reaves
PIT had Cullen Kunackl Kunitz Wilson Cole

Maybe if they used good players instead they would have won in less games, idk? Still, except a few on this list (Cullen, Tom Wilson, Bickell and Shaw, Kunitz a long time ago) who can actually play, these names are all shit. Sorry. You really dont need these guys to score/defend. Lehkonen is one of our best defensive forward and he's at least versatile. I take him before anyone on this list, meat and potatoes or not.

You've been conditionned to find these players acceptable because a lot of dinosaurs still coach in the NHL and employ them. A decade maybe and it'll be finally over.

Were any of you guys posting when the Habs lost Ron Hainsey and Francois Beauchemin to waivers?

Gotta check with Wikileaks -- the anti-Russian conspiracy evidence got mixed up with Hillary's 30,000 deleted emails.

Drouin at center! LMFAO!

Not sure what this has to do anything we were discussing

 

[Runner77]

And you can fine NHL/AHL player like Scherbak everywhere to

Yes you can. They are 22 years old and generally not available on the wire.

lol..looking at LA man there tight to the cap right now.....and few guys(Lewis 2 million) that will be coming back off IR this month.After picking up Sherby they only got 1,7M in free cap space left...moves to be made
Los Angeles Kings - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

Pretty sure Kings are going to be making some moves maybe getting rid of more guys from their Stanley Cup teams. No way they're making the playoffs in the West this year, so it's about preparing for next year.

UFAs like Hagelin & Thompson might interest playoff contenders. Then 2D under good contracts in Martinez and Muzzin.

If they do move guys they'll need some warm bodies.

Guess what? We live in a cap world! Our team better sure as hell start developing players instead of waiving them. Especially 1st rounders!

Who cares. When he becomes ron hainsey, ill worry about.

We were not experimenting with Drouin at center.

1000% agree but it starts with better drafting. You can polish a turd all day but at the end of the day you still have a turd.

Yeah who cares about efficiency in asset management, it's for nerds anyway!

Francois Beauchemin i was upset when we lost him....

he's been the best guy we lost on waivers. in recent times..thats saying something

 

[Runner77]

I think we're all hedging on bets. Some of us are convinced Scherbak is not an NHL player, others are suggesting he's a borderline AHL/NHL type, others still think he projects as an NHL regular and the Habs pulled the plug too early and/or did not give him enough of an opportunity.

Let's revisit all of these takes at the end of the season and see if any of us need to eat crow. It's one of this forum's specialties.

What’s Lefebvre doing these days?

Bergevin loves his drafting/scouting people.

Yep LA had no depth and they just lost Kovalchuck. I understand the move of LA taking a chance on Scherbak like I would probably take a chance on Martin Frk if he was on the waivers. But I don't think Scherbak is an NHL player and I'm glad he's gone ! If he became a NHL Player with LA good for him and I will make my meaculpa but know ? I don't have any trust on him since he was in the WHL so..

 

[Forum93]

No, you dont need players with no hands who play anti-hockey just to fill time. Instead you could develop players that have way more potential. Sherbak is 22 years old and had serious injuries that delayed his progression. Do you think it's his fault he got hurt?

It would be real nice to have a player who could score into an empty net from 5 feet way. Is that asking too much?

I predicted Sekac wouldnt be in NHL 2 year after the trade...and he wasnt.,..


My prediction on Sherby for LA....his nickname is goona be IR...(injhury reserve)...and he gets waived again...

Zykov was on the waivers friday .. Marko Dano was on the waivers this week. So just this week Sherback was the 3rd
