Popular Post DeNiro Posted October 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2020 Just now, EddieVedder said: Hes not top pairing. 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. How do you justify not signing Tanev now? Tanev wasn’t top pairing either and Schmidt is better than Tanev. Anyone who’s not a complete homer will tell you that. You justify not signing Tanev because he was too one dimensional. The playoffs exposed our D men for not being able to move the puck. Schmidt helps solve that problem. 4 1 8 5 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. Agree 100 percent. This is another brutal contract. 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyLow_ Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 For those talking about Schmidt playing the left side, he prefers the right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, this will be fun. Name a right side Dman that averages 21 mins per game that has signed a free agent contract for less than $6m per year? Name a right side Dman that averages 21 mins per game that was traded for a 3rd round pick? We eagerly await your long list of players.

All those histories are all gone now. Either way, you should've been banned. Meanwhile Ukrainian Canuck is banned for eternity. And for what?! I didn't post a thread. I didn't break any rules. It more just sounds like it upsets you when someone else on the discussion forum has a different opinion than you.

So you see Canucks fans all happy and feeling good about a trade and you come in and try and crap all over it? Sad. Take your bad hot takes elsewhere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people liked the Edler signing at 6 million and he'll be 35 once his contract expires 2 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.

You agree with Timrafan? The same guy who thought Dahlen was the second coming of Forsberg, and that the Canucks were totally wrong not to treat Dahlen like a princess. That Timrafan? And yes, that Dahlen who made a huge fuss about wanting out while spending not even 1 full AHL season. He didn't even want to wait out the summer to TRY and get his NHL debut. He thought he was NHL ready. And SJ Sharks didn't think so either. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are aware that Schmidt played a big role on that same team that beat us right? How is that table crumbs? What D men were available that were “the best” in your view? Sounds like you’re just whining for the sake of it. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofsurrey Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) When your club is crappy at drafting top 4 D men.... u usually have to pay steep on the UFA market..... Edited October 13, 2020 by kingofsurrey 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo5789 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Remember when people thought Benning was done with the offseason already and we were going to be playing Jordie Benn in the top 4? Not only did we add a top 4 dman, he's arguably a top pairing dman. For a 3rd round pick. But wait we traded a draft pick for a cap dump, surely someone's got beef with this as well.

vannuck59 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 13 minutes ago, MikeyD said: 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. Realy ! Schmidt will make us better and thats the name of the game.
