The guy Cogliano keeps reminding me of is a speedier Hemsky...
Just 2 games but I don't think I've seen him finish a play yet...

From watching Cogliano a lot this past week, you can see that his speed is absolutely exceptional. He may not has Shremp's amazing hands and shot, but speed more then makes up for it. I think it will be easier for Cogliano to overcome his size then it will be for Shremp to overcome his skating.

St louis can skate though. Schremp isn't all that mobile. I saw two games and obviously the coach saw more.5Whole said:...err, OK...I didn't notice Schremp much during a rookie exhibition game I witnessed - until he started blasting in goals.
Not big enough? Not as big a deal as the last time we had NHL, when the humongous Martin St. Louis walked away with the MVP and scoring title.
Didn't look great in camp? I will take MacT's opinion over yours, thanks!

I don't really care to be honest with you. I think Schremp will probably do alright in the NHL. I don't think he will ever score anywhere near 100 and I don't think he will light the lamp for 30 in his first season. He is an offence only player who is small and not that great of a skater. He will excel on the PP but 5 on 5 will probably end up being a little more average than Oiler fans want to admit.

5Whole said:Five NHL camps? OMG, apparently I have been labouring under a false impression. I thought Schremp was a 19 year old junior who had been drafted by Edmonton. Apparently he is really Jani Rita, who has actually been to more than one NHL camp.
Why post if you don't care? Could it be the usual rivalry surfacing forcing you to take shots at Oiler prospects just out of habit?
I don't see any Oil fans claiming Scremp will be another Gretz, but that doesn't mean he won't be good for a point a game or better in a two or three seasons down the road. When he makes the Oil next year a 50 point season would not be an unreasonable rookie expectation for someone of his skill level.
