Is he a sniper ala Brock ? creative play-maker + shooter like EP ? not so creative but good shot, good body presence & speed like Bo ? He is a turnover machine -- in the positive sense. He is overrated as an offensive player, imo (but not by much) because he plays on a weak team; but he would have played on team Canada in the last Olympics, he is that good. Another Horvat in terms of being a 2-way player but actually a bit better because he creates so many turnovers. Peak of his career is right now, too. What would we give up for him? A first round pick; add Dahlen, and maybe even Juolevi. But he'd be worth it I imagine. (Our first round pick means less now, I have to remind myself of this, lol.) If we gave up Dahlen, a 1st round pick, and maybe another player in the Juolevi range (not Hughes, obviously), we would be giving up a lot. But we'd have a player in Horvat's class, but unique. He is to Pettersson what Brad Park was to Bobby Orr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe ON can explain it so you understand better: You have such a love fest with Guddy. LOL We all know that Schenn is a solid AHL D man at best. The problem is that Guddy is not much better and we have locked him up for two more seasons. Anyone of the young D men that you have mention could become his replacement. He brings grit and not much more. He is a bottom six D man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo5789 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 I wonder if we could've gotten more for him had we waited until the deadline. Anaheim may try to flip him, I'm sure there will be some people trashing on Benning if Del Zotto gets moved for a 5th/6th at the deadline. For the record, I'm fine with the trade and realize the point in making it, but just curious if we rushed to make this deal to create a spot.

He’s going to get a big pay-day and he deserves it. Under the radar star player who seems to produce no matter who he plays with, and is able to do it all on his own more or less against the leagues top competition. Adding him would would go a long way in our top six. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather he get less now when something's available than risk getting nothing later because their wasn't a market for him at the TDL. NVM that the difference in value between an early 7th and a late 5th/6th from a contender is pretty damn small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, but losing for nothing versus a 7th rounder is also not much of a difference either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True But it does also earn some UFA good will by doing right by the player, gains us some needed D depth in Utica, clears some cap and NHL roster space etc, etc...

Well like I said, I understand why the deal was made, just wondering if there could've been more value at the deadline. Hopefully Del Zotto makes the most of it and earns himself another contract to stay in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Who was, like Marner, a play-making winger, rather than a Selke class type.) Getting this guy would radically change the progress of this team. I'd talk him into Vancouver on the basis of playing with Pettersson, lots of money, and staying in Canada. And, the team is on the rise. And throw lots of term at him. (6 years?)

Schenn will be a big part of the Comets and, at this point, their season is as important as the Canucks' season.

edler rocks Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Crazy how far both these guys have fallen. When i hear Luke Schenn i don't think AHL defenseman. And i remember back in del zotto's 2nd or 3rd season he killed it for me in my hockey pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My beef with them is they are getting players to sign at lesser salaries (Stamkos), part of that is because they are a contender, the other part is they are making full market value with their take home pay as they would be if they went to TO or pretty much any other place other then Vegas and Florida. Essentially their cap is 10% higher than the rest of the league with their no state tax for home games. It results in allowing them to sign an extra 8 million dollar player, which is spread around their lineup. Having a few guys on cheap contracts help, and soon they will have their own cap issues with expiring contracts, but they won’t be hard to re-sign either. Google NHL tax cuculator and the comparisons once you get to five-six million plus is significant, and once you get to 7-8 million it’s very significant. Basically a guy getting 8 in TB/Vegas/Florida would have to get 10 plus in the majority of other NHL cities for the take home to be the same. Stamkos was expected to be offered up to 12 million on the open market, he definitely took a pay cut from that sort of money...but still got his 10 plus million.
