Schlemko seems to be top 4 caliber in terms of shot suppression. It's the offensive side of his game that is questionable, as he doesn't generate much, but he still treads water at just over 50% Corsi.
Put him next to Petry and I think the Habs may have picked up a top 4 D for a 5th round pick, that is under contract for a few years at a bargain price.
This was one of the (many) questionable selections I felt Vegas made. The return they got for him makes it even more questionable.
Vegas just saved Montreal from another season of Emelin, while also giving them a potentially better replacement at half price.
