Player Discussion Nikita Scherbak: Scherby-Dooby-Doo

[26Mats]

He was actually considered the sexy pick on draft day and most fans were pleased, myself included. Would have liked Goldobin as well, but in 2014 it was pretty much a wash between the 2.

Don't give up so soon.

Hard not to be pessimistic when Julien does not appear to be willing to give him a serious chance

his injury was real bad timing for him. If we're not winning, Scherbak will get a shot on the 4th line.

Scherbak practiced today with Peca and Hudon on the 5th line.

Yep, Julien will try other options first. But if those don't work Scherbak will get in.

With Byron back soon and Armia a bit later, some decisions will have to be made. Who do they keep & Peca , Hudon or Scherbak ? And what about Chaput and Agostino ?

I expose Deslauriers and Peca to waivers before Scherbak.

Chaput and Agostino are proving to be all around reliable 4th liners, so it's more complicated with them. If push can to shove, I'd probably risk losing them to waivers than Scherbak.

I agree about DeLo and Peca.

 

[26Mats]

I agree about DeLo and Peca.

I highly, highly doubt d-lo and his contract would get claimed. Peca's a center so it's possible he would. We're already thin at center after losing Pleks and DLR. I would have liked to have had Pleky in Laval, working with the kids in an almost player-coach role, and there if we needed him in case of injuries. We should have tried to get DLR through waivers at the end of training camp when every team had a surplus of bubble players they had high hopes for.

I have no problem putting Scherbak on waivers. He is a bust, there is something clearly missing. I think it is a safe bet that he will be in the KHL in 2 years. One would think with all the openings this year he would have come to camp with a fire in his belly but instead another brutal pre-season

This look like the Tinordi situation all over again. If we are lucky we might get John Scott in return,

Probably gets you a DSP, it's a little better than John Scott.

Getting a player of the caliber of someone who could end up being MVP of an all-star game would indeed be a nice return for Scherbak.

If Zykov goes unclaimed.

Scherbak for Zykov ?

This Org. capable of miracle with their magic tricks/voodoo. Transforming the Prospects one by one into a Bust...

 

[InglewoodJack]

Funny enough, the only two first round picks that haven't completely busted for us yet are both our youngest player and our longest tenured player. Juulsen's borderline.

Sherbak got injured a bunch and resisted coaching. He was also slow. That it isn’t the organizations fault.

 

[koyvoo]

Way too much rumbling for a player who doesn’t have the skill to be an nhl top 6 player nor the intelligence or drive to even be a bottom 6 player.

Literally a player of zero use.

 

[Bacchus1]

26th overall. Basically a high 2nd rounder. Low chance of success, but we all boped.

 

[Runner77]

Definitely the .org.’s fault for drafting him. Can’t be that they just noticed how slow he is.

 

[Kimota]

Bear in mind, I'm not a hockey professional, but how can a coach evaluate what a player can do without playing time? Are guys like Julien that supremely skilled at evaluation that they can see that at practice?

 

[danyhabsfan]

can't believe we waived Scherbak instead of Chaput/D'Agostino/Peca/Deslauriers.

Whose position in the top 9 should he have taken?

He can still stay in the stands and wait for an opportunity.


Chaput is invisible. Deslauriers and Peca too.

 

[habsfan909]

Apparently when they watched the video on him they accidentally had it on fast forward so they thought he was fast. Just another day at the office for Timmons.
