Hughes - Cernak

Juolevi - Myers

This is like that episode of Cobra Kai where Johnny and Danny are hanging out and kind of getting along

You know it’s a steal when even hfboards are calling it a great trade  lol

If the cost to get a top pairing D is a 3rd round pick - what's the cost of dumping a dud contract.  Must be through the roof.  Teams know the Canucks would like to clear cap.  Why wouldn't they exploit it like Benning just did in this trade.

Exactly why Sergachev is extremely unlikely if not impossible.

It's not a might. You're talking about like an Ehrhoff level 

 

By missing out on Markstrom, Tanev, OEL, Barrie, Shattenkirk, and all the other guys they've made offers to or kicked tires on, they've walked into a legitimate top pairing defenseman. Like, people who play the minutes against the players he does don't grow on trees. He eats hard matchups. This will ease things for Hughes even further. 

 

Schmidt instantly becomes our best defender. He's the exact guy you'd want playing in the pairing that Hughes isn't on.

 

I don't think people in Vancouver realize how big of a win this is to get a player of this caliber. 

 

At an absolute worst, he's a #2. 

 

 

 

29 other GMs are wishing they were first up to bat or had the cap space ... great deal for us ... major coupe

We don’t have to protect QHs...JB has done a masterful job of keeping our D safe from them

Surprised more people aren’t stoked on this. Even HF boards is going crazy and saying steal of the last few years. This guys a #2 d-man under contract for the next 5 years making under 6 mill for a third....... 

 

Adding him and Juolevi is going to help our transition game huge. We’re already better than last year with this trade imo. 

Couldn’t agree more.  
 

This has to be one of the most lobsided deals that I’ve ever seen before.

Anyone else have the feeling in 3-4 years paying 11.95 combined to myers and Schmidt is gonna be pretty hard to swallow

Maybe, maybe not.  
 

They’ll be Edler age and making the same. 

 

Hopefully cap goes up by then too.

Not to mention both OJ and Rafferty are eligible 

for expansion but they might not have the games to be the D that meets the minimum exposure criteria.   They haven't played NHL games last season and if they alternate in the lineup they might not hit the 40 games (or pro-rata) mark.
