Hammer was a Beast. Superb signing by Gainey. One of the only UFAs who earned their money start to finish.

If we're dropping Hamrlik comparisons I think the Noah Juulsen hype might be getting a tad out of hand... Juulsen has 14 points in 71 professional games. At the same age Hamrlik put up 65 points and was already a veteran in his 4th NHL season.
Like, I get that the comparison on a superficial level is "ideally a 2nd pair D that can play up a pair if necessary" but Hamrlik was a hell of a player and that is a reaaaaal stretch to even compare the two.

Hamrlik was a top, top prospect when he came over.
Juulsen just skates like Hamrlik, somewhat slowly, that's where the comparisons end.

Agree. Juulsen is nowhere as good offensively as was Hamrlik.
Juulsen will be more of a 20-25 pts and 20min d-man.

Juulsen vs Hamrlik only fits when you look at Hamrlik's career towards the half way point on. Hamrlik's career in his 20's was definitely a much higher ceiling vs Juulsen. Not a knock on Juulsen because Hamrlik was very good in his youth. Then he became a steady reliable guy in the 2nd half of his career.
I like Juulsen vs Vlasic type comparison more.
When is Juulsen coming back?

To be fair, Hamrlik already had that experience because he was a first overall pick on a brand new franchise that didn't have players to replace him with. He didn't necessarily have to earn anything like a regular rookie would.

yeah people aren't taking into account no.1 pick Hamrlik and the Hamrlik that came to the Habs. Hamrlik was no offensive dynamo with us. I remember when Markov was injured he actually kind of stepped it up a bit in that department. I actually think Juulsen has shown more offense to his game than the Hammer who played with the Habs. Hammer was absolutely rock solid defensively with us no doubt.

My guess
Kulak-Weber
Schlemko*/Benn-Petry
Reilly/Benn-Juulsen
* Hope he's traded soon.
If Schlemko is traded:
Kulak-Weber
Benn-Petry
Reilly-Juulsen

I tend to agree. I actually don't mind keeping Schlemko in a depth role. The frustrations with him is due to playing him too much. The minute we play him bottom pairing and he sits games here and there, he starts to look better.
But yeah, I think your pairings are close to what they will do.

Hamrlik was also a 1st OA, not exactly a late first rounder. Development isnt linear.

Not even a puck to the face can damage this kid's movie star face.
He is going on the trip with the team!! This is good news, probably playing in Chicago sunday by the sounds of it....
Schlemko to the press box!!

Horrible.
Might as well call Mete back up and pair him with Petry instead. Reilly-Juulsen will be an excellent 3rd pairing, IMO.
Benn needs to sit. can't have both of Benn and Schlemko in the lineup at the same time. Never,
