Ray's recent moves are looking worse by the day...
The season doesn't start tomorrow. Have faith that he'll work some magic over the next few days and months. Plenty of time until you need to jump of the ledge.

All the Knights got for Schmelko was a 5th Round pick.
Another point to ponder for those people who somehow feel getting nothing for Merrill is a disaster.
Also a point to ponder for those who were happy with giving a 2 for Mirco Mueller and justified by saying the GM had no other options based on the market.

He's 30 years old and still has three years left on his deal. They're not comparable. Compare him to TVR.
Do you understand the difference between a 22 year old DMan who was a former 1st round pick with clear upside and a 30 year old journeyman?
and I like Schlemko.

"Clear upside" is disputable and as we have said earlier today we should not state things as fact when they are your opinion. I do understand the age difference - just like the age difference between Merrill and Schlemko (5 years) which is the comparison that I was responding to in the first place.
If the team did not believe he had clear upside, do you really think they would've paid a 2nd round pick?
Jon Merrill stinks. Where the hell did the championing of this player come from all of the sudden?

Another statement of fact that really isn't. Do yo have a source? Where did this come from? Because guys like you on the San Jose board say the same thing about Mueller. So what?
I really feel like Moore's speed and threat off the rush is the only reason he was protected. Besides Severson he's our only defenseman that can move like that. Otherwise his stats are mostly garbage just like Merrill's.
I don't know what this means.
It was a relatively small trade and we haven't even seen the guy play. There are much bigger things happening, how about you just move on.
It really is a fact. Merrill is not an NHL player. He's one of the worst players in the entire league at generating shots, and is inconsistent as he'll when watching him.
This little off-shoot conversation started because somebody compared the Schlemko trade to the Merrill exposed and lost transaction. Nobody jumped on that guy saying that at least Schlemko got a draft pick, or hey "do you understand the difference between a 25 year old dman and a 30 year old dman"... But if you can cite Schlemko in some way to make a point about Merrill why cant you do the same to make a point about Mueller. Nobody had an issue with a Schlemko for a 5th vs Merrill for nothing plus trading a 2 for his replacement comparison, but everyone has an issue with the Schlemko for a 5th vs Mueller for a 2 plus losing another d comparison.
Where is he on shot suppression? Also can I see that HERO vs Mueller?
Small sample size since he's only played 54 NHL games, but not the most impressive numbers.
Schlemko is also a much better player than Mirco Mueller...
Don't care that the latter one is younger. I don't see him ever becoming that good. I wish we'd kept that 2nd rounder.
On my phone so can't pull the comparison at the moment, but here is Mueller from earlier in the thread.
Ok let me know when you get Merrill. Thanks.
