Confirmed Trade: [FLA/VGK] Akira Schmid for 2028 3rd round pick

[Chainshot]

Low key solid pickup by the Panthers. Don't bet against the original jabroni.

 

[Peasy]

I like this, his QO is less than a million, which leaves about 5 million for the starter. Should be doable.

Highly doubt he's getting less than 1 mill in arb.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

This is their goalie?

WOAT offseason. Good lord

Pass the copium!

 

[Lunatik]

Technically, yes.
Realistically, no.

being technically right is the best kind of right

 

[Lunatik]

and why should Hill be the better trade than Schmid?View attachment 1262637

In what world is using a sample size of a maximum of 34 games ever a good idea?

I personally don't care either way and even personally like Schmid better, but that seems like a very poor way to argue (I mean so is not quoting the person so no one knows who you are arguing with).... this is probably the better way to go...

Schmid

Hill

Oh right, that's the reason for the bad faith argument...

Akira Schmid - Stuart Skinner combo is gonna be so elite.

A Toronto fan balking at another teams goaltending? Am I reading this right?

 

[CanMerc]

Be a good backup for Hellebuyck

why you singling out leafs fans? how many leafs fans are giving Vegas a hard time over this trade?
kinda pathetic how we're always on the minds of others.

Same suspects, thread after thread. You clearly can recognize them.

Do better.

 

[HockeyVirus]

This isn't it, I have a VERY hard time believing this is it

I am starting to think they don't know what they are doing. Seems their only plan is to acquire players who have a reputation of being tough or dirty regardless of hockey ability while ignoring their D and goaltending situation.

same people stiring things up in thread after thread, isn't that clear trolling? Maybe talk to your mod buddies because I'm pretty sure that's against site rules.

No you are right. Greatest goaltending in the league now. Schmid for Vezina

Who has a better chance of knowing what they are doing?

The team that won 2 of teh last 3 stanley cups, or the team run by a computer nerd, that walked on his last team after helping deal the hand that saw them move to another city?

 

[Ignatius]

Are the villains allowed to trade with each other?

Both have an active membership in the Legion of Doom

Not at all what anyone is saying, but alright then. An upgrade at backup can simply be an upgrade at backup.

no one even brought them up until you did. stop thinking about your favorite team the leafs

[DaveG]

Shakira Mid

Mid is being generous

But hey, we've seen dumber shit in this league than a #3/4 type coming in and taking a starting role

Same. I've said for a while that I think their contention window is closed and the injuries last year kind of obscured that.

what's the cap hit of Aiden Hill (6.25 p.a. until 2031?) we can discuss sample size etc. but if you really think that would have been the better option for FLA then let's agree to disagree

Wondering why you think this

 

[Arthur Morgan]

I do like Schmid, I dunno if he has starter potential but I dont think FLA is done. good backup with potential for more though

why is it acceptable for posters to go into threads about other teams moves and.. let's say stir the pot... but not okay for them to clap back? Seems like a pretty wild double standard... maybe don't go into threads of rival teams and post things to stir the pot?

Are you claiming @Buckley and @HockeyVirus aren't Leafs fans, or that they aren't in every Florida thread here on the mains, deriding every move, and predicting future failures.

Either way, you are wrong. Inconvenient truth, is still the truth.

Do better.

what do you mean? like someone say something about my team first? I had no intention of coming in here and bringing my team up but sure like always someone has to bring them up.

I actually think this was a good move, I like Schmid. not sure he is starter potential but I dont think FLA is finished. potential to be one though
