Which Habs Forward will be Waived or Traded when all players are healthy?

[Deebs]

Get rid of him

 

[MasterD]

One of De La Rose or Peca. Don't know much about Peca, but I'm unimpressed so far...

De La Rose was good at the end of last year, when Pleky was gone.

Pleky should also go, completely useless.

That said, I think Scherbak won't make it here.

He probably needs to play lots of minutes, and the only place where he'll have these is in Laval -- at least up until there's room on the RW in the Top-6 following an injury or something.

... And that pretty much includes every other NHL city. This isn't exactly a great team.

Things would be different if we had, I don't know, a very good goalscoring center. We don't have such a player.

Enhance his trade value or make someone else expendable. Either way, Habs win.

 

[Cobra Commander]

Drouin 256 chances

Sherback 1/4 of a chance

DesHarnais 5 million chances

Chucky 1/2 a chance

Dumb du du dum dumb

We can't send him down though because he has to clear waivers. I guarantee if we exposed one of the other four I mentioned on waivers (Shaw, plekanec, de la rose, deslauriers) they would clear. Why can't Claude bite the bullet and give scherbak shaw's ice time and power play opportunities for the season. Worst case scenario scherbak does what Andrew Shaw does...nothing with it.

[Tyson]

Play him instead of Hudon

 

[hotcarle]

Hopefully Alzner is waived....and claimed...

 

[OldCraig71]

Scherbak is done here, they simply don't want him.

 

[Harpo]

Oh Nikita you will never know, anything about my home
I'll never know how good it feels to hold you
Nikita I need you so

 

[habsfan909]

We can't trade him yet... first we need to kill whatever value he has left so we can truly minimize our return.

 

[habsfan909]

I would bench Drouin for Scherbak. Can't be worse.

 

[Runner77]

When the team gets shut out and they don't even consider adding him to the next game's lineup, it's more than likely that he's as done as dinner.

Oh Nikita is on the wrong side of any given Habs line
Counting games missed in a row
Oh no, Nikita you'll never show

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I think a lot of us really think... who the f*** cares?

Most of those forwards in contention to being waived/traded don't seem like they would get claimed, or return anything other than futures.

The Habs will lose Scherbak for nothing regardless if he spends the season in the press box.

Oh Nikita you will never know.. anything about the top 6.. you’ll never know how good it feels to watch you.. oh Ni-ki-ta we need you so..

 

[Clumsyhab]

He's getting the Perezhogin treatment.

 

[Beige Van]

Makes you want to cry when you look at who was drafted in the pick just before him

even these idiots will realize, eventually, that effort and speed alone don't win in the new NHL. You also need skill and talent. While Scherbak isn't polished, he has skill and may have talent (his hockey sense at this stage is debatable). We will soon see just how starved we are for skilled offensive players and may turn to Scherbak to see if he's polished enough, will put in the effort, and has the talent to create some offense. Right now he's being "polished" - he's practicing with the team and the coaches are working with him on the things he needs to do get in the lineup and be successful (not turn the puck over, play a more uptempo game, etc..). We'll see what he has if he gets a shot before being dealt.

 

[vokiel]

Give him a chance -> Waive his ass.

Why wasn't he playing already? Could he possibly be worse than Drouend?

 

[lo striver]

All we are sayyyying - give him a chance...
