Overrated, or not, that depends on who you asks, are allot of opinions on this board...
But, I do think Schremp is a perfect example of how its natrual for people who follows hockey to expect that its the top-end talent a kid have, that decides what potential he have.
While in reality, in the NHL, whats really really hard, is to get scoring chances, to get in positions to use that shot/playmaking skills ect. Not really to capatilize on it. Thats tough to but not really a deciding factor.
Take Henrik Zetterberg for example. I don't think he would have been a big star in the CHL. His finnishing skills aren't magical. But, he is extremely good at beeing around the puck.
I would bet on that
90% of the goals scored in the NHL are dirty goals, comming from just crushing the net. If you play at the right side of the rink (in the attacking zone), and works hard and reads the ice well, so you are around the puck allot, you will get a piece of thoose goals, and it will show on the score sheet.
So in reality its thoose players who spend the most time in the attacking zone and handles the puck allot who gets the most points. In order to spend allot of time in the attacking zone you must be good defensivly, you must be good in the transition play, you must work hard, you must cover allot of ice, handle the puck well in the transition game, and be willing to crash the net.
Schremp is really only a great player when it comes to making that final play, that shot or that last pass. In other areas he aren't very good. So in the future in order to be successful in the NHL he must have linemates that can contribute in the rest of the aspects it takes to be successful in the NHL. Its defenitly not impossible that EDM can arrenge that for him, and that Schremp becomes a 80 pts scorer.
Though Robbie never had, and never will have, the potential to become a dominant player in any situations. He needs allot of help too. Thats why using stats too is such a bad measuring stick IMO. Even if you got a player like Schremp and he scores 80 pts, he will cost you allot in other areas.
