Schremp Signs in Sweden

Early on Wednesday morning, news broke of Rob Schremp signing with Modo in the Swedish Elite League for the 2012 season. Schremp, one of the biggest underachieving forwards, will have a chance to regain some confidence overseas, likely to try an NHL return again in the near future.

Between Long Island and Atlanta in 2011, Schremp played in 63 games, scoring 13 goals and 13 assists, which ranked him 229th among all forwards in pool scoring.  He has been a prospect of many poolies to possibly break out and be a star offensive force, but topping out at 26 points in his NHL career isn't going to work for anyone playing points for money.

If Schremp can manage a big year in Sweden, you may want to re-visit his fantasy value, but for now, this isn't a big loss to the game and it removes a fairly big risk from your drafting list.
