According to TSN.ca, the Isles have claimed Schremp.

Is there any way to watch the game tonight without actually being there?

I say pick up Schremp off of waivers. Drop Sim or Tambellini like a bad habit and make the kid into a nasty winger. He is only 22 give him his shot, he is a new yorker(syracuse). A little more offensive threat, put him on a wing and let Bailey feed him passes into the slot so we can see the infamous 20 foot slapper that he’s got. Just a thought…

I see Schremp was put on waivers up in Edmonton. I know he is small, but with us being a bit thin at center, I wouldn’t mind taking a chance on him…..

I really hope the Isles claim Schremp. We could really use some infusion of skill and he is young and still basically a prospect who might just need a new home. so don’t be stupid and outsmart yourself Snow. Just take a flier on him and see what he can do. The team has nothing to lose.

Nice one 19.

I have to say; I do like Bergenheim as a left wing for Tavares.

The Isles definitely need to take the more cautious road with KO. It isn’t like they are in a playoff race in late March where they need the firepower. This guy is a HUGE part of our future and anything to keep him as that HUGE part of our future is necessary.

My Opening Night Roster (in no particular order):
Tavares C
Bergenheim W
Bailey C
Sim W
Moulson W
Jackman W
Park C
Comeau W
Thompson C
Reich W
Rechlicz W
Tambellini W

Streit
Gervais
Witt
Martinek
Sutton
Hillen

IF you read between the lines… (ridiculous to even attempt to do with this team) it sounds like they are giving de Haan a chance to make the team (at least for 9 games).

Thinking they should be cautious with KO and hold him out of the opener as well as the pre season finale.

I like the Rob Schremp idea. It makes a lot of sense. Hope the guys get over the Go-Go Gadget Groin Injuries soon. No matter what, I can’t wait for the season!
