Since I hated Schneids, I would've been all over a Schneids for 13th overall trade no?Mëds wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 6:55 pmIt's true.

Thoughts Dude?
So was it Gillis who wouldn't or was it Aquabros who nixed it because of the pure dollars it would have cost? I'm going with the latter, because recapture penalties cost nothing, they just make it harder for the current management to do their job. Ownership can sit back and just point a finger at the GM while saving 7 figures worth of cash every year.
Although, at the time, CBO'ing Luongo might have seen like the right move in the long term, it would have precluded the Canucks ever having Bo Horvat as we would have had to keep Schneider as our starter because Luongo would not have been eligible to re-sign with Vancouver.....and I know for a fact that during that window of time where CBO's were permitted there was at least one poster on a f***ing Canucks messageboard who was tossing Panic-Attack Schneider under the bus for his mental health issues on a regular basis.
Your thoughts Blob?
Luongo bought out or not.
And gotta love how the Gillis-apologists try to blame the owners who have never had a problem spending!
