Gollumpus Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Sorry. What would the compensatiion be if he were offered 6 mil? They would be useful to us now if we flipped them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erkayloomeh Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Those picks would be for *next* year, right? Chances are, that with the improved results a team would get with the addition of Schneider, it might mean that even a bottom feeder team (eg. CBJ) could wind up in the middle of the pack. And as has been noted, what if a contending team makes a play for Schneider? The Canucks could get a pick like the 30th overall. This is far less useful than either keeping Schneider (assuming he can be persuaded to stay), or trading him for known quantities, which would likely have a far greater value than a couple of picks. regards, G.

erkayloomeh Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Also i dont think that with schnieds they climb to the middle of the pack. I say 20th overal at best. They will be losing nash as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Speculation - Gillis has been negotiating with Schneider and his very reasonable agent Mike Liut - I'd guess they have already worked out a deal (4yrs/15 millionish), but it would be imprudent and terrible timing to announce it. Let the bidding for Luongo process play out, and then announce the Schneider deal. It doesn't strike me as signature Gillis to announce something like offer-sheeting Schneider would be a waste of time and I am guessing there is a reason for that - he has already assured Schneider that he is the man, and they have just agreed not to announced the ink yet. Gillis is getting multiple offers for Roberto and likely getting closer to what he expects in return. Yabadabadoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollumpus Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 That would be the worst case scenario if a top team offered him 6 ml/ Also if we matched we couldnt trade him....then hed be a ufa at the end of next year so it would force a trade for one of our goalies and weaken our position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 You don't think the injuries affected us last year? In your opinion, based on the last 2 years who exactly is SC calibre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I have a hard time believing that Schneider would sign an offer sheet knowing that MG is actively shopping Luongo. Would Schneider try to screw us over and sign a deal that wouldn't work for the club? I hope not; I personally would lose respect for him. If its August and Luongo is still not traded then I wouldn't blame him at all but not the first two weeks in July; that just screams selfishness.

Dreamy_Nuck Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I know it will be unlikely/impossible - but how about a blockbuster trade with the Flames. Roberto and Kesler packaged for Iggy and Kiprusoff?? Ofcourse, picks and some other players would help package this nicely. Boy, I d be following both teams all season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bd71 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Oilers offers sheeted Vanek from the Sabres like three years ago for some astronomical amount. Would have have at least 3-4 great picks. Although Vaneks a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf44 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Dumb to say that on Gillis' part... If somebody wants to handicap the Canucks financially and gillis ain't bluffing...then why not offersheet Schnieds to 7.5/year.... See; Doug Murray and his offersheet on Hjarmalsson, only to screw the hawks capwise, so that they could poach Niemi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losing With Pride Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Bad idea to even leave the possibility of an offer sheet open. There's too many teams that need to get to the cap floor that could all of a sudden offer him 6 million. No way we match that, and the compensation from it doesn't really do much to help us now.

Losing With Pride Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 It was $50M over 7 years and it would have meant the 1st rounder from the Oilers in 2008,2009,2010,2011. All things being equal that would mean trading Vanek for Eberle, Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson, Hall and Nugent-Hopkins. It is a very sore spot as a Sabres fan even though Vanek is a very good player. Imagine having those four with the core the Sabres already have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
