Comparing stats for Schremp and Chucko is difficult. Chucko plays on a very deep team in a league with older and stronger players than the OHL.
Schremp, on the other hand, is the big dog on a team in a league that has many more younger and underdeveloped players.
I'm not saying that Chucko would keep the same offensive pace as Schremp if he played in the CHL, but I would bet anything that his numbers would be fairly high.
Just to clarify my position, if both Schremp and Chucko reached their projected potential, then I would take Schremp. But as of right now, both of those guys are only prospects, and I think Chucko is the safer prospect because even if he doesn't score a lot, he has many other assets that would make him a useful player. With Schremp, if he cannot score at the NHL level, then he will likely not play in the NHL at all. Therefore, as PROSPECTS, I would take Chucko. If both prospects turn out like their best case projections state, then I think Schremp will have been the better pick.
Remember, it's completely possible for one to be a better "player", but the other to be a better "prospect".
(And don't bother mentioning pre-season performances. Many players have dominated in the pre-season only to disappear in the regular season).
