Sharks Roster Discussion Part V

[OffSydes]

Traded for a 5th and now on this "7th" team.. Maybe there is more to it?

 

[pappaf2]

Schlemko must be a locker room nightmare or something, jeez.

Impossible, I read on this very site he is not a problem.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Exactly. I mean I am pretty sure DW could have easily matched that if he had wanted to keep Schlemko. Definitely more going on behind the scenes.

 

[Jwec]

Yeah there got to be more than we know. Or every 31GMs are unbelievable stupid. But I wonder why Vegas picked Schlemko because I am sure there would've been a team who would've have paid more than 5th for Dillon, Martin or Ward if Vegas.

 

[nabbyfan]

Am i crazy or was there a time rather early in the season where Schlemko missed a stretch of games kind of without any explanation, and the online discussion was about some sort of undisclosed locker room/team discipline issue?

Anyways, good luck to David in Montreal. He could do well out there. Excited to see if Simek/Heed has what it takes to eat those minutes.

Mcfee saw his advanced stats and thought he'd be able to flip him for more I suppose.

Yes you are not crazy.

There was some friction with PDB that was mentioned during that stretch of missed games. But in true Sharks fashion we never really found out much more than that.

If that's the case he could've have waited longer to trade him or pre-arranged a better trade. Either way McPhee screwed up mightily by picking Schlemko and flipping him instantly instead of Dillon, Martin or Ward because they definitely would have had more trade value.

Agreed. As someone else stated this shows how little Schlemko is valued around the league compared to what people on here thought of him.

Thats what I thought. Seems to me there might be something there....He's a decent player on that cap and I think he could do well on a team like MTL. But IMO a player like that doesn't bounce around a third of the league without there being something else going on behind the scenes.


I think DW has faith in Heed/Demelo/Simek to take a shot and see what they have. Im personally excited for Simek

 

[Levie]

Schlemko is worth less than Mueller according to GMGM.

 

[Sharksrule04]

Far less apparently. 2nd and the jump from 5th to 4th rather than a 5th 3 drafts from now.

I mean if all NHL GM's are idiots ...

 

[hohosaregood]

tbf a lot of the GMs are former hockey players from the no helmet days. Their brains are probably close to jello at this point. Props to them for leading functional lives.

Well that 2019 draft is supposed to be reaaally deep.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Maybe he is a bit of a pain and since he's a utility player, he's not worth the headache. Jeremy Roenick, Theo Fluery, Alex Kovalev were the same but teams would deal with it since they were really good.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

It does annoy me a bit that Montreal just basically took our decent 3rd pairing defenseman on a very good contract for nothing.

**** off McPhee.

 

[Levie]

Well that 2019 draft is supposed to be reaaally deep.

He's going for the offer sheet McDavid. Needs all the draft picks he can get that year.

GMGM Signs McDavid to 100% salary cap contract.

 

[do0glas]

I get the angst, i do. But schlemko

A. Wasnt worth protecting
B. Wasnt worth what it would cost for vegas to take ward, martin or boedker

He has value on the ice, i hope heed or demelo can do similar (likely see that pair tread water in stats like gf% and ff% but put up more points overall individually)

So far DW hasn't done anything besides recoup some value on a failed pick and lose a decent bottom pair guy.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Do any of you guys get the feeling that DW is kicking tires on Galchenyuk and/or Duchene and getting one of them would mean that Jumbo is not coming back?

I do hope he is kicking the tires on them.
I don't know that getting one of them rules out jumbo coming back.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

I'm sure he is on Gally.

Well Duchene is getting 6M and Galchenyuk is an RFA probably looking for a bridge deal close to the same amount. SO $$ is kind of a factor.

At the same time, if Jumbo is back he will most definitely be a 'C'. So will Couture. Hertl could probably move to wing but Duchene will be playing 'C' as well. That seems overkill to me.

Galchenyuk could simplify matters because he could probably move to 'W' but if we do get Duchene, I don't know who plays 3C?

I've seen at lot of rumors of the Sharks asking about Galchenyuk. Haven't seen any Duchene ones. It does feel like it's completely possible for Patty and Jumbo to not come back, like honestly possible.
