LMFAO.

Schremp sucks. Seriously, he is one of the most overrated prospects out their. Sure, he put up BIG #'s in the high scoring OHL. But look at his stats this year:

AHL 52Gp 13A 25Pts

and he was taken 25th Overall in the 2004 draft...

Hell, the Canucks Jannick Hansen who has taken freaking 287th OVEREALLin the 2004 draft has:

55Gp 9G 18A 27Pts

Not saying that Hansen will be a better player then Schremp, but come on....

The biggest late sleeper pick of the past few years seems to be Brett Sterling, he's tearing up the AHL making Schremp's 1st round pick even worse. Sterling(5th rounder) has 44 G 32 A for 76 pts.....College players seem to be coming more and more into their own the past few years. That's why I and other are getting so excited for Raymond.

BC Dominates Third Ranked New Hampshire
by Christina Coleman/USCHO Arena Reporter

DURHAM, N.H. — The ninth ranked Boston College Eagles defeated No. 3 New Hampshire Friday Night, 4-1, spoiling Senior Night at the Whittemore Center. Boston College improved to 21-11-1, 17-8-1 in Hockey East while New Hampshire fell to 23-8-2, 18-6-2 in league play.

Nathan Gerbe scored twice for BC and goaltender Cory Schneider had 31 saves on the night. The scoring didn’t start until near the end of the first period. Boston College would start it off at 16:04 when junior Matt Greene scored off a Benn Ferriero rebound for his fourth goal of the season to make a 1-0 game.

UNH’s Jerry Pollastrone had the chance to score on a breakaway but Schneider made the save on the bid. BC would increase it’s lead to 2-0 when they were on the man advantage late in the first. Nathan Gerbe got his first goal of the night after goalie Kevin Regan faced a flurry of shots, but was unable to stop Gerbe’s. Brock Bradford and Brian Boyle were credited with the assists.

In the second period the Wildcats would try and dig themselves out of a two goal deficit. Junior Matt Fornataro would have his shot go off the post seven minutes into the period. Midway through the second frame Trevor Smith and Jerry Pollastrone would set up Chris Murray to score his eighth goal of the season and make it a one goal game. That would be the only goal scored in the period.


The third period had two goals scored, both empty nets by Boston College. New Hampshire called a timeout with 1:04 left and then decided to pull Regan. Just seven seconds later Gerbe would get his second of the game. Regan stayed on the bench and the face off returned to the Boston College end. BC won the faceoff and Ferriero would get the goal to seal the win and make it a 4-1 final.

“I thought the difference tonight was we got terrific goaltending from Cory Schneider and our special teams was successful. We had one goal and we killed a penalty late in the period. They had the puck really moving very well but we were in good passing lines and we had a great block from Mike Brennan,” said BC head coach Jerry York.

“Obviously we are disappointed with our loss and I thought we had our chances and it was a 2-1 hockey game and we obviously couldn’t get it tied up. Told the team at least we got back battling and if there’s any consolation to the game we take something positive out of it. We gotta get down there tomorrow and get a spilt,” UNH’s Dick Umile said.

The hockey east playoffs are beginning to shape up after some of tonight’s games. Last Saturday New Hampshire clinched the number one spot in the playoffs and with tonight’s win Boston College is now the number two seed.

Providence was able to receive the 8th spot after beating Merrimack 7-2. They will travel up to Durham to face UNH in a best of three game series next week. Boston College will host Northeastern in a three game series as well.

I think Schremp is overated, but at the same time his development has been stunted by playing with the Wike Bars. Edmonton and pits share the same minor league team, meaning it will be stacked with more talented youngsters. That leaves less room for error, and being Schremp's first season in the AHL, he's going to make mistakes. However, they won't let him continue to play, which is stupid because if he doesn't get time to play how is he ever supposed to develop? Glad am I happy that the Canucks were smart enough to get their own minor league affiliate, not like the stupid Oilers. Their prospects growth will be majorly stunted because Pits has a lot of young talent as well and they'll be too many players fighting for too little spots.

Bourdon is sal/ohlund mixed? Beast with offence?

I'd be satisfied if he just became Luc Bourdon and not anyone else. He could be Salo, He could be Ohlund but I think his skating is superior to both just needs to learn the game and develop.

And Schremp is supposed to be in the minors to improve the defensive aspects of his game, not worry about scoring. He has the offensive flair of most 2 young players combined, but he really realllly needs to work on the defense.

1. The Jannik Hansen interview will not be available to anyone, if you want it you can read Part 1 on CDC, ill post the full typed out interview later

2. We do NOT have great defensive depth, other than Edler Rahimi and Bourdon there's really nobody, Koltsov wont be considered a prospect this off-season to me, and we have NOTHING on the right side of our defensive depth chart. Fredheim can be a good, but its too early. And for the record, Patrick Coulombe is a fringe prospect right now

Its true though, Coloumbe is a useless midget.

I can't believe someone said they want to trade for Scremp, didn't he just feed points off of Corey Perry in Junior?

And we need a centre with size, where Scremp is under 6'.

And we don't need a little hotdogger.

I think Bourdon could be better than Ohlund or Salo. He's meaner than both, faster than both, and while his shot may never reach Salo velocities, he's got some real offensive skills.

As long as the Canucks don't rush him and allow him to work on his hockey I.Q., he is going to be a force. :twisted:

Everyone just keeps going after his hockey sense....christ almighty.

How does a guy with terrible hockey sense become a +22 in about 30 games?

Pretty harsh and definitely not true. He's what 22? Give him a break, just because he is 5'9 doesn't mean he won't amount to anything in the NHL.

timw33 said:

Schremp scored 145 points last season without Perry. Compared to 90 points the year before with Perry. Seems to me like Schremp thrived the with more icetime, rather than simply feeding off of top players.

timw33 said:

Adding Schremp now may not be a bad idea. Well not just Schremp, any young centre with some promise. The centre we draft this year will need to develop. Look at a guy like Spezza. Drafted 2nd overall, ripped it up in the OHL and AHL and it took him about 3-4 years to get where he is today.

I'm not saying we should trade our current prospects for Schremp or anybody else for that matter. But if Nonis gets an offer in which a young centre comes our way don't be surpised. In no way will the centre we draft this year solve our prospect situation. Nonis has done a great job so far but it will take a few more years of solid drafting and developing players before we have great depth.

Spezza owned in the AHL.
Schremp far from owns in the AHL.

Coulombe has had a horrible season with the Moose. Sure he had a pretty damn good camp but now with the Moose now he usually finds himself in the pressbox each game... :twisted:

He also didn't make the clear day roster, I hope that means he goes to Victoria. It's a waste of any sort of development if he sits in the press box

[ModoExpress]

Coulombe should change to forward position...

hes useless on D...

hes too small and can get pushed around by most nhl forwards

I wasn't comparing Schremp to Spezza. I was just making a point that the player we draft won't be stepping in right away to centre guys like Grabner, Raymond ect. It may be 3-4 years down the road before we even see "The Centre" play in the NHL.
