I could see Vegas wanting Rathbone, would def fit their style of play.
Gaudette, Rathbone and a pick? Would do it if the pick was a 2nd, would not if it’s a 1st. Other teams would easily beat that obviously.

Something along those lines..or insert Jake over Gaudette..
Might not be Schmidt..but there's going to be other teams off loading D men to get under the cap...
Just have to be patient.
Only reason why OEL was going to work was because they were going to take one of our bad contracts.
We can't acquire a 6m contract without unloading anything and losing picks and prospects. Those picks and prospects is what you need to unload the bad contracts in the first place.

How will the Canucks fit a $6 mill cap hit in 21-22?
quinn and Petey at $18 mill.
Brock, Bo, Miller and Myers at $22.5
Ferland, Loui, Beagle, Roussel and Lu is $18.5 mill
Goalies assuming Demko plays well enough to command $3.5-$4 mill outs it at $8 mill.
That is $66.5 mill for 12 guys. $15 mill left for 11 guys.
cant oay Schmidt $6 mill and leave $9 mill for 10 guys.
Jake and Gaudette would likely combine for $4.5 mill.

Add Jordie Benn in a trade, even with some retention, and it could work. Jordie Benn with $500k retention is a net cap hit of $4.5M for Schmidt this season and saves Vegas over $5M.

Just how many demoted 1-way contracts will Aqua be willing to have in Utica this season when he might have zero ticket revenues to help pay all of his costs? Especially when there is no escrow withheld on NHL salaries for demoted players so he'd end up paying more $ to Roussel in Utica than he would if Roussel played with the Canucks.
Buying out Sutter also increases cap hit for the following season when they still have to ice a team and hand out huge raises to Pettersson and Hughes.

To tell you the truth I'd much prefer Schmidt on the Canucks over Ekman-Larsson any day of the week. Schmidt is a bulldozer on skates, who plays a sound defensive game. He'd be great against the bigger teams like Vegas who we had troubles containing. A Schmidt and Hughes as a pairing would be a fantastic number one. Screw Ekman-Larsson get Schmidt, who actually knows how to play defense.
Vegas has to unload around 8m if they sign petro. They aren't taking money back .

Ok take Benn out and waive him. Same difference really for the Canucks. I can’t see them meeting the asking price though, but Schmidt would be a great add both now and long term.
Vegas isn't going to trade Schmidt to a team in the West, especially not to a team in the same division. No chance.

If you are expecting anything with term then Yes.
Canucks have to consider the 21-22 cap when the $20 mill from Pearson and co comes off but they have to replace those 4 roster places with someone then shift $16 mill over to Hughes and Petey.
