Confirmed with Link: [VAN/WIN] Canucks acquire 2022 3rd Round Pick for D Nate Schmidt

[bandwagonesque]

Quit the ad hominems bandy, it is unbecoming.

that he was dumped for a 3rd is a fact. Everything else is speculation and rumour.

Your original post didn't actually claim that Vegas was right and the experts were wrong, it claimed Schmidt was generally seen as a negative asset. This isn't true, and I'm pretty sure you realize this. Various reputable journalists reported other GMs were unhappy not to have had a chance to beat Vancouver's offer. Pointing out this inconsistency isn't ad hominem.

I like Montour a ton as well but he isn't a shutdown guy in the brand we need, he'd be another one who would suffer from the clogged up PP blueline

I don’t like him, but he’s heavy and plays RD. Also has a big shot. Benning will love that scouting report

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

I like how we acquire a really solid defenseman for peanuts and he hates it so bad under our defensive system and coaching that he wants out instantly. The difference between Vegas and Vancouver must have been shocking

Is that the reason he wants out?..I think there's more to it than that..IMO

 

[Rumsfeld]

Did anyone realy expect Schmidt to get more than he did last year

Well yes, because according to the Weisbrod Warrior faction of this board, the trade that happened last year was a one-in-a-million stroke of genius that resulted in Vegas getting completely bent over.

Trade Myers RN PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

I would like to be rejoicing in a Tyler Myers and OEL-free world

 

[mriswith]

Bennings yearly "focus on the defense and somehow make it worse every single year" is always a fun ride

 

[Gstank]

OK so now its really important we use that cap space appropriately to fill the whole that is now in our defense

That...sounds painful.

(sorry)

Two cups is useless here but is useful there!

Like wtf lmfao who even buys this stuff

You could have cropped out or redacted my post. I'm innocent.

 

[Bleach Clean]

Yep. Acquires a top-four defenseman for a song, and then backs himself into a corner with the salary cap and promptly has to deal him.

I guess Schmidt ended up waiving his NTC after all. Really wanted to get out of Vancouver that bad.

Wouldn't you?

 

[Snatcher Demko]

Well that was underwhelming. Shame we could not get a guy like Demelo at least.

Now Benning has nearly $10MM of cap space to blow. Needless to say, his track record with UFAs has been nothing but tragic.

 

[Bgav]

Solid trade ngl lol

Trade Myers RN PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

If they traded Myers it would be a great move and a frank admission that Benning's drunken FA spending was entirely boneheaded. For both those reasons I don't expect it to happen.

talking about what I “claim to believe” implying that I don’t really believe what I’m posting is an attack of my motives instead of my argument, which is the definition of an ad hominem.

I think Schmidt was clearly viewed as a poor asset, as evidenced by the trade. I don’t care about some bullshit rumor that you’re babbling about.

What do you suspect?

 

[Red]

Just...why??? We're in an endless circle of avoiding our own self-inflected cap problems.

We have a total of exactly 3 NHL defenders right now and only Hughes is what I would call a top-3 D.

 

[4Twenty]

Exactly what I expected. Good on the Canucks to dump that much salary.

 

[geebaan]

Solid trade ngl lol

solid at what? Making our defense arguably the worst in the league?

 

[Gstank]

Im seriously being to wonder if Benning is looking at signing Hughes and Petey longterm with all this capspace and then would deal our 2022/2023 1st for a top 4 dman

 

[Peen]

You could have cropped out or redacted my post. I'm innocent.

I purposely left it because you put schenn in there so people could see what focht was referring to. Cut out most of your post buddy

 

[geebster]

Getting him for a third was great value and was a good move. After having a disappointing year and reportedly wanting out getting a third back is fine. In both cases he is most definitely worth more than a third, but given the circumstances its not a horrible deal provided the contracts for Petey, Hughes, Dickinson, 4C, RD, and backup goalie arent just insane. Benning has a lot of runway here to completely screw it up but can also construct a pretty good roster too if he doesnt. I have no reason to believe he will not hand out Pearson like deals, but I am going to hold off judgement until he actually gets these signings done and not whine ahead of time. This deal doesnt bug me at all, we'll see what happens from here.

 

[John Johnson]

Well yes, because according to the Weisbrod Warrior faction of this board, the trade that happened last year was a one-in-a-million stroke of genius that resulted in Vegas getting completely bent over.

Difference is that Schmidt was coming off of a 31 pts in 59 games season, so for that production yes a 3rd is a steal, but at 15 pts in 54 games season then a 3rd round pick is all you get.

Season doesnt start tomorrow.
