Rob Schremp's Finest Season

by Jonathan Willis on Aug 31, 2009 1:30 PM MDT in Prospects

Commenter Matt N. has been nice enough to run down the splits on Rob Schremp for 2007-08, his best season as a professional.

While not mind-blowing, Schremp's even-strength numbers compare nicely with top AHL options like Ryan Stone and Ryan Potulny from this past season.

Schremp's scoring breaks down as follows:

Even-strength: 78GP - 9G - 26A - 35PTS (.449 pts/gm)
Powerplay: 78GP - 14G - 27A - 41PTS (.526 pts/gm)

Let's compare those numbers to the best Falcons players from this last season (and Chris Minard):

Even-strength

Jordan Eberle: .556 PPG
Ryan Potulny: .486 PPG
Ryan Stone: .455 PPG
Rob Schremp (07-08): .449 PPG
Chris Minard: .407 PPG
Liam Reddox: .357 PPG
Slava Trukhno: .286 PPG
Bryan Lerg: .262 PPG
Rob Schremp (08-09): .261 PPG
Charles Linglet: .259 PPG
Gilbert Brule: .256 PPG

Powerplay

Rob Schremp (07-08): .526 PPG
Chris Minard: .500 PPG
Jordan Eberle: .444 PPG
Ryan Potulny: .343 PPG
Rob Schremp (08-09): .275 PPG
Gilbert Brule: .231 PPG
Shane Willis: .219 PPG
Liam Reddox: .214 PPG
Ryan Stone: .156 PPG
Slava Trukhno: .125 PPG
Carl Corazzini: .125 PPG

Summation

I don't think it's a stretch to say that Rob Schremp is never likely to be an impact scorer at even-strength. That said, in his best AHL season his even-strength offense should have put him in the call-up group (and probably would have on a team less blessed with tiny scoring forwards). If he can get back to that level of play at even-strength, I think he'll convince an NHL club that the deficincies in his overall game aren't so bad as to keep him off the roster - and once on the roster, he can be a genuine help on the powerplay (one thing Schremp has always had is tremendous powerplay ability).

Stride

What a beautiful picture of his snowplow stride.

hmm

looks more like he’s shielding the puck to me. not to mention that snowplow is a stop not a stride… anything to try to sound cool though, eh?

Snowplow

Of course it’s a stop, Rob Schremp skates like he’s stopping – all of the time.

the legends of schremps ability are rivaled only by those of his inability.

Lovely Margo Lane

Robbie Schremp, who aids the forces of Copper & Blue, is in reality Lamont Cranston, wealthy young man about town.
Years ago in the Orient, Schremp learned the strange and hypnotic power that allowed him to cloud men’s minds so that they can not see him.

Must be working, cuz I’ve sure seen damn little of him.
