After thinking about it, I realized that Strome was the 5th overall pick in 2011. Nuge was the 1st overall pick, Klefbom was the 19th and Larsson (who Chiarelli traded for) was the 4th.

Clearly Chiarelli believes that the 2011 draft was the best draft, thus why he keeps acquiring players from that draft in lopsided deals.

Lost in all of this is that Bergevin has made 2 intelligent moves in the last week, which means he'll trade Galchenyuk to Colorado for Francois Beauchemin or some poo poo.

Checks and balances.

I would trade emelin and a 5th for schlemko in a heartbeat

How much does schlemko make anyways? Is he as bad (lol not possible) as Emelin?

A buddy called him "Craig Rivet but with less offense." Is he close?

schlemko makes 2.1 million and he's like... i don't know, a better yannick weber or rafael diaz but maybe with less point scoring?

Shclemko makes 2.1M, and he's a decent 2nd pairing guy. Bergevin committed highway robbery, IMO. Shclemko is underrated because he does his job but doesn't do anything spectacularly.

He was quoted in the paper the other day saying he knew as much as the media did about what Vegas had planned.

quote:

The Canucks did have some preliminary talks with Vegas about a possible side deal to help guide them in the direction they want them to go, but it didn’t really go anywhere.

“I have no idea which way they’re going to go,” Benning said. “I’m like you guys. I read where they’ve done deals with teams. I have no idea what those deals look like.

“I don’t know what it entails, so I have no idea what they’re thinking.”

I'm not sure he works very hard or even enjoys his job.

The only semi reasonable return is like Severson+ but then again Hall for Larsson
