So I can't see how he replaces Tanev That wasn't the question, it was that our defense is worse with the loss of Tanev and Stetcher and I beleive that both Schmidt and OJ our better reguardless of which side they play. And I believe I heard that Schmidt can play both sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 1 hour ago, buddyguy said: Schmidt is an upgrade, despite the big contract. I completely agree he is an upgrade as he has a two way game, but we need defense. Nate Schmidt isn't good enough defensively to cover the defense we need to have. We literally have no true stay at home defensemen now that we can fully trust. I believe you need two on your team. For 6 mill and for what he brings I think he's making fair value for open market but the contract could end up being a killer. He's also somewhat injury prone. Don't get me wrong, I like his game but 6 mill when we just lost 3 important players due to cap is a tough pill to swallow. We got him on the cheap, but he's a big contract to be putting up less than 40 points. Not to mention that's playing with Vegas who is a team that generates off the rush way more effectively than the Canucks. He's got a great outlet pass but when our boys seemingly can't generate a shot on net 50% of the time on a 3 on 1, I just can't see him being nearly as effective. And now we even have less scoring depth. If I were Benning I'd honestly use Schmidt to offload one of our bad contracts so we can gain some wiggle room. I can't see us coming close to the playoffs this season. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I anticipate a high draft pick next year. 1 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to get the Tanev 8 ( my favourite player ) but now I don't know who to get. Haven't gotten a jersey since the Hank jersey I bought in 2013 You haven’t bought my jersey yet and you are a Canucks fan? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bury Eriksson and Baertschi and that is $2.15 free plus the $2 million we have now and 19 guys on the roster. Sign Virtanen around $2.75 and that is two minimum salary guys to fill out a 22 man roster. That isn’t enough for Leivo and Gaudette... so one would hope that someone goes out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also around when you made that fake Corey Perry thread back then. You were rather smug about being a "brilliant troll" today. But posting fake trades should've landed you a permanent ban, so you really shouldn't even be here. Edited October 13, 2020 by Dazzle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pietrangelo is much bigger than Schmidt and produce up to 20 points more. This is more of a desperate move by Benning in my view. He had to do something... I had waited til we could get one of the best. I hope Schmidt prove me wrong though. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJ was considered a bust by many until his one game and now he’s a regular? I’m hopeful for him but let’s ease expectations. He probably still needs some developing. If he's not better than Stetcher right off the bat this season, he will be by the end of his first season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Fivehole0 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 So its a good contract if Vegas has him at 5.9 but its a bad contract if Vancouver has it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes 30 yrs old and hes going to eat up 6 mill of our cap until ges 36. Im a big believer in Benning, but this was a brutal.
