Am I the only one a little surprised that Schlemko hasn't caught on anywhere? I realize we have too many players in general, but I could still see a role for him on the team. Maybe my memory is clouded by the shootout goal, but in the playoffs last year he was often our 5th defenseman. Even after adding Hamilton, you still need guys like him to account for injuries, trades etc.
I'm guessing he, Diaz or similar still gets added, even if on a PTO. I just don't believe the team believes there is a young dman ready to step up yet.
