I’ve read a lot about Shremp through my travels in the Oilogosphere and the kid just isn’t that good. He’s a YouTube superstar that feasted on the powerplay in junior.

I wonder how much Burke would like to pick the kid up and turn him into a success, just to spite his former buddy…?

dude is as soft as they come. Scoring a lacross like goal is impressive, but not when you can’t put together anything else.

Schremp is a lot like Wellwood, but instead of a weight problem its a mental deal.
Skill for days, but he cant seem to put it together for more than a shift at a time.
Previous years I’d take a chance on him, but the Leafs already have too many players with a better chance of contribution.
although I wouldnt be against putting him on the marlies and seeing if he can get his shit together

And like Jared would love to put him in the AHL, though that’s the same problem EDM has.

I just wonder what Wilson/Burke can do with a 23 yr old who has close to 2 PPG seasons in the AHL (though last year looks horrible and his +/- is dreadful).

You wonder what a new environment can do to people like this, especially under a strict defensive minded coach, who does allow for an offensive game.

If we could put him in the AHL, I’d jump on it completely. So to me, I’d take a chance on him, send down someone like Rosehill until the Schremp trial period is over, and then see what happens. The guy only has 7 NHL games spread over three years, let’s see what he can do. In the end it’s low risk, maybe high reward.

Plus, he’s American, and we seem to be building our own team USA.

Very skilled but his head doesn’t seem screwed on straight.

Wouldn’t hurt to have him on the Marlies, but I think he still needs work in order to become a contributing NHLer.

If we can pick him up for little or no cost or risk, sure why not.

Schremp on waivers? Well it makes sense: he sucks.

You can bet Robbie is hoping for a change of scenery. I hope he gets one but with less than 2.5 hours left to go it doesn’t look good.

As per Bobby Mac at TSN.
