Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021
My guess is theres another bottom pairing piece added but that can be acquired much closer to the season start to find another bargain.
Schmidt was basically a free asset. There will be groans around the league about not getting a crack at NS.
GMJB is one of the best in the league. Its not even in question anymore. Hes hammering home runs outta the park like Doyle burns through his bud lite appletinis

UWS is right on the money again with his in-depth analysis. Benning was waiting for bargains like this. If it wasn't Schmidt, it would have been someone else. We capitalized on a few more of these deals, we would be in decent shape.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021
Yeah... no, it’s a base knock up the middle. Hardly a bomb. Schmidt is owed a lot of cake for a lot of years. Elmer got bent over the last few days and fucked dry, a stick shoved up his ass and thrown into the fire. He got up, dusted himself off and finally landed a punch. He still has work to do.The Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 6:11 pm My guess is theres another bottom pairing piece added but that can be acquired much closer to the season start to find another bargain.

You know the "Schmidt's cap and term are too much, and he's a PED cheat" crowd is itching to bust this out...The Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 6:11 pm My guess is theres another bottom pairing piece added but that can be acquired much closer to the season start to find another bargain.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021
I'd definitely take Holtby for 2x$4.3 and running him a Demko over Markstrom at 6x$6. Easily.
Schmidt at 5x$5.95 versus Tanev at 4x$4.5? Yes, I'd take that too but depending on how they move out cap, perhaps not quite as easily.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021
They're also counting on Juolevi being a third pairing guy based on what he showed in his brief audition I think, which was pretty impressive considering he hadn't looked anywhere close to that good previously.Mëds wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 6:24 pm4 1/2.Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 3:07 pm UW they have 3 1/2 NHL d men.

He has been written off pretty much, but I at least am encouraged by what I saw there.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021
No way man. Schmidt is going to be a YUUUGE upgrade to the top 4. This guy was one of the main reasons they dominated teams so badly in possession numbers. He is a very talented puck moving defenseman with some balls.Doyle Hargraves wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 6:21 pm

This market will be huge Schmidt-heads by 20 games, I guarantee it

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021
The mongoloids are already rationalizing why Tanev's 4x4 is way better than Schmidt's 5x 5.95.

I like it better this way.
Good for Benning to pull this part of it off, it's legit thievery. Now comes moving out dollars.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021
I'm one of the people here that questioned OEL's worth at 7x8.25, so for me this is a no brainer. Maybe because of my cheapskate nature, I like picking up a good deal. Schmidt is definitely a good deal for a 3rd rounder.Curmudgeon wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 7:15 pmAs Canucks fans are rationalizing whether Schmidt's a better fit at 5x$5.95 than OEL at 7x$8.25Raging Fury wrote: ↑Mon Oct 12, 2020 6:41 pmThe mongoloids are already rationalizing why Tanev's 4x4 is way better than Schmidt's 5x 5.95.

Re: Canucks News N Notes 2020-2021
Benning exploited the situation. Down the road this will be remembered favourably like the Ehrhoff acquisition
