So Schmidt played on the right side in Vegas?

 

I imagine the other teams interested wanted Vegas to retain salary, which is why we ended up scoring him for a bargain. How do we afford this though?

Yeah. He played against some of the toughest competition for Vegas too.

 

I mean we were trying for OEL at 7 years at 8.25M and let Tanev/Toffoli walk so I don't think affording this will be a problem.

Take that Bennings haters !!!! Bennings Bennings what are you doing to me man !!!!!! LOVE 

Yes I agree buddy..Great move Jim Benning... Few hours ago there were the fans bashing him for not going after Toews...

 

Great move I see Capfriendly has him already on team 5.9 million X 5 years - 29 yrs old, 6'0...I sure like his speed and game, he will look great beside Hughes..

I think the system will dictate some of that. Washington is far more run and gun than the team D system in Vegas.  My guess is he’ll be a little more of the Washington version. Vancouvers not exactly a strong D team.  Regardless it’s a good pickup 

I'm not sure, but I guess we'll see? I'm hoping for the 30ish point guy Vegas has had. 

 

At that price I can't complain too much, but I stand by my concerns.

Ehh...would have wanted Vegas to retain a small chunk of cap, maybe up to $500k

 

If he records his usual 30-40 points/year pace and be modest defensively for the full deal, it's more than satisfactory

Good trade but that's another massive contract to take on again. Better hope it pans out. I do like him as a defenseman but I also think he's overpaid. We need to be searching for cheaper contracts, not more expensive ones. Personally I'd rather keep Tanev at 4 over Schmidt at 6.
