Disappointing? Disgusting is more like it. Absolutely zero reason to have him here rather than Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogersTowell Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Schaller seems to have two modes: not noticeable in a bad way and not noticeable in a good way. I prefer the latter from him, which is what he delivered in his last game, but I'd prefer someone who was noticeable in a good say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone will pick him up, or if not he's much easier to trade between noon and 3pm on monday if he clears. I do think some team out east might pick him up for a 6th or 7th round pick in that circumstance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a serviceable player, just not fitting in here for whatever reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he passes through he'd be easier to trade for sure and probably for about what you've suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call it disgusting when you can insert a guy from the Comets like Gaunce (who isn’t anything special) and yet it would be an upgrade. A replacement level 4th line winger should never be given term. Waste of a contract slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste of a contract slot. Agree to disagree then. Also Gaunce didn't outplay Schaller in the preseason when he had the chance, so at the start of the season he wasn't an upgrade on Schaller.

If you can’t outscore an offensive black hole like Gaunce, you better be elite defensively. Gaunce is one of our better forwards on the Comets this season so he deserves a call up (my opinion). You reward guys that still have some upside for that. Send down the guy that has been essentially coasting during the regular season (we already have Ericsson handling that role, don’t need two guys like that).

I don't entirely disagree, however in the preseason Gaunce was very underwhelming. He didn't outperform Schaller then, he has since played really strong in Utica though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck73_3 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 In the end I think Benning tries to find a trade for Schaller he is an NHL player just not a fit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, If you are not going to play a guy on your NHL team and he doesn't have a 2 way contract to use him on your farm team, I don't see the value of having him on your team, It is not the like Canucks have an elite team, so where does he fit in the NHL? At first I thought the 1 way ticket hurts him, but I am sure he would rather make NHL money doing nothing than AHL money riding the bus But this would be his last 1 way contract I am sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyotasfan Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 If he can’t crack the lineup on the Canucks what purpose does he serve. Bennings dirty little secret in the press box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to admit, I've probably seen Schaller at least 4 times on TV, but was totally unaware of him until he signed with us. Went to HockeyDB expecting to see a primo AHL stat sheet. He is one of the many 'must see' players that I'll be keeping an eye on at training camp ( or early season ). Sorry to quote myself, but, at the start of this season, I was enthusiastic about this unnoticed player with the impressive stats. There has to be some unreported reason for this disaster of a season ! At the time, I believed he was the 'safest' of the 3 UFA signings. Will he be better at our next training camp ? Hope springs eternal, but Schaller's poor performance defies logic. What the heck happened ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning couldn't give him away at the tdl, if not then, when? Disrespecting Jim's faith, he's proven less effective than Eriksson! Something once thought impossible. His NHL days are over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course I also felt Rousell would've been the far worse of the FA signings at the start of the year, so what the **** do I know? Without salary retention, even if Chiapet was still GM of the Oilers, no GM is going to want Schaller unless a crap salary was coming back.
