Grasping at straws indeed.
Anyways to those of you who know what they're talking about, thanks for the input.

Roughneck said:He does have top 5 hands, but the same things that scared scouts and GMs away on draft day would still scare them away now, Schremp will have to play in the NHL before he can silence his critics and show he belonged in the top5.
Roughneck said:
The intentions of this thread are blatantly obvious, that being so, I'll take Chucko, Schremp will be a bust, he has attitude problems etc.
Roughneck said:It was hardly a debate that warranted "going to hf" because of homerism, i think it had to do more with a complex on your part that requires you to be a member on a message board for Flames fans.
Awesome post, TI. I think I agreed with everything you said, except perhaps the part about Schremp reeking of Brendl. (Schremp has actually had it successfully hammered into his brain that there are two halfs of the ice, and even if he forgets it once in a while, he knows, and he doesn't just park himself out at the other team's blue line. He plays the whole surface adequately now).The Iconoclast said:... I guess it depends on what type of player you are hoping for as well. Schremp reminds me of Marc Savard in a lot of ways. Chucko reminds me of Brendan Morrow. I prefer the guy that is gritty and contributes on both sides of the puck, but that is a personal preference. Big points don't impress me. Excuting your complete assignment impresses me. To date, Schremp reeks of Pavel Brendl. Big points, no committment to the game. If that's what floats your boat, you're all over Schremp. If you like guys that have grown as players you are likely more impressed by the job Chucko has done. But knowing these boards, points are the only guage that matters, so Schremp will win this in a landslide.

And can we PLEASE stop bringing up this rediculous and outdated argument of Schremps "Attitude"? This hold NO water, not anymore, and for me, it never did. Talk about living in the past, as this kid has gotten nothing but rave reviews regarding his play, progress, AND attitude since being drafted...enough already. For someone to say "I'll take Chucko over Schremp...robbie has an attitude" is laughable, it truly is.
Ask this same question to every GM in the league, see who they'd rather have. I can almost garuntee a unanimous decision for one, Robbie Schremp.

Tikk said:Who would you take and why?
That makes it all so much worse. Schremp will probably put up points in the NHL but I would rather have a player like Chucko if I was trying to go deep into the playoffs.Rabid Ranger said:That hasn't been proven at the NHL level.
nesbit_21 said:I have to wonder, really, all these people who write off Schremp as a PP specialist, with poor skating, inept defensivley and a bad attitude, if they've really ever even seen him play, and play regularily? I'd bet money that the wide majority have not, therefore, their opinions really hold no value or merit at all.

Chucko = a Morrow to Smyth type player in that range
