Confirmed Trade: [WPG/VAN] Nate Schmidt for 2022 3rd round pick

[rotiman187]

As a nucks fan happy he's gone. Dude is worth nowhere near that contract.

 

[Wildcarder]

Not sure what to think from the Canucks perspective. In the end I guess it's a push of draft picks and the cap space is handy, but Schmidt is worth more than a 3rd.

Vancouver basically chose OEL 6x7.2m over Schmidt 4x5.9m and downgraded from a 2nd to a 3rd to do it.

 

[vcanuck]

both teams won in this trade.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

If it’s a 3rd good deal for jets! Love this for them (meh for Canucks).

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Maybe no one else wanted him without retention.

But why would he care about retention? that just means 2 teams pay him

Schmidt keeps getting dumped for the new shiny toy... petro and now OEL

 

[GoJetsGo55]

I cannot tell you how happy I am right now.

We may get crapped on for being a small cold city but the players that have played here (outside of Kane) have said nothing but good things.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

The funny thing is, Schmidt killed the deal yesterday of the two 2nd round picks to the Canucks, so we went and got Dillon with those two picks. And then we paid a 3rd for Schmidt the very next day. Chevy, you're a wizard.

You're sort of omitting the incentive of acquiring Garland.

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

I'd love to see Hamonic and Montour sign in Vancouver with Schenn as our #7 dman.

OEL - Montour
Hughes - Hamonic
OJ - Myers
Schenn

The Canucks had the final say in the trade…. they didn’t have to trade him……they didn’t want to retain any money….

 

[Ottobot]

He’ll rebound and this will look real nice for the Jets.

 

[Three On Zero]

Benning has no idea what he is doing

And Benning is a Willard

really happy for you guys fr.

I know they came as a package but I look at it like Garland for 9OA and then the rest.

So I suppose it's OEL, 3rd for Schmidt, Eriksson, Beagle, Roussel, 2nd, 7th.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

LOL well at least Benning got a pick.

 

[burstnbloom]

This fellas is why when a girl rejects you that you keep on trying

Yikes

 

[These Are The Days]

Was rather certain this is the case. I never understood what the hell could possibly be so bad about living there.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

really happy for you guys fr.

Thanks man! I am just so happy we finally addressed our d-core. There was the thought that they might try and go with the "hope the youth improves" solution and we just can't do that again. How many days till the season starts now?

 

[PAZ]

Yes but in two different offseasons he has only been worth a 3rd round pick.
Including the offseason after his Vegas stint.

GMs often make poor decisions. If we're basing a player's play off their trade value, Gostisbehere isn't a NHL caliber defenseman - which is obviously untrue.

 

[Winnipeg Jets]

The majority of people that shit on Winnipeg have literally never been here before. It's a meme at this point.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Nice work by Benning. I thought that contract would be more difficult to move.

 

[ScottishCanuck]

Surprised we didn't get more to be honest, but I guess that's the contract.

He struck me as the sort of guy whose head and heart were still in Vegas all year. You saw it this week even with him representing the Knights at the baseball game.

It's unfortunate. He's a good defenseman, it didn't work out. He doesn't seem happy in Vancouver. We didn't lose anything and we now have cap space. Pity we couldn't upgrade that 3rd to a 2nd, but it is what it is.

 

[burstnbloom]

I was told this would take a high pick or prospect. What happened?
