Lionized27 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) I absolutely LOVE that Vegas fans are miserable over this. Makes me feel all warm and tingly. They can suck it. They have Pietro, we've got the real star. Edited October 13, 2020 by Lionized27 Grammar 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) forgot he was the guy who got suspended for 20 games. Like his personality though. https://www.nhl.com/news/vegas-golden-knights-nate-schmidt-suspended-for-performance-enhancing-substances/c-299924770 Edited October 13, 2020 by Jaimito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I was a big proponent of the OEL trade, but I like this better aswell. At his peak OEL is the better player but Schmidt has been at or near his level the last few years. And he costs much less to acquire, better contract in $$$ + term, can play the right side, & solidifies our top 4 going beyond Edler. (As was the idea w/ OEL) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pleasantly surprised by his play but unfortunately i doubt he is brought back. Doubt he gets a raise at all let alone a big one.

Odd. Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I think the term is perfect. Schmidt is entering his prime, and his contract will expire when he's 35. Him and Hughes together could be money together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this point on, it gave them a boost and they eventually scored two more to win the game 5-3 and they went up 3-1 in the series. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millerdraft Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I’m not sure what people on here think a two-way D that puts up 30-40pts a season is worth but this is 2020 with an $81.5m Cap ceiling not 2005/2006 and a $39m salary cap when those type of defencemen were making $3.5m. In today’s era, that 8.9% of the Cap ceiling salary is equivalent to $7.3m and today’s $6m cap hit was equivalent to a $2.87m cap hit back in ‘05/‘06. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't we try and target Cirelli since we need a top 6 fwd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OEL is a much better player than Schmidt IMO. But still, we would have had to add a valuable player in the package for OEL as well, at the end of the day Benning did damn good with this trade. OEL would have been a great addition, he's one of my favorite Dmen in the league, but I am still pretty happy with only trading a 3rd for Schmidt, nice job by Benning to slide in there and get it done. And at the end of the day is smarter than making a trade for OEL giving up more valuable assets I think it depends what else is involved in the trade. I was a big fan of the OEL idea too. The problem is the acquisition cost & that the contract is much worse. If your giving up a 1st or top prospect, even with Loui or Sutter (which is only short term relief), then I prefer the move we made. If the deal included lesser picks/prospects then maybe I would've preferred rolling the dice on OEL re-gaining #1D form. I think considering the extra term + $$$ on OEL's contract, & the rumored ask, this probably fits a little better.

Not even that in this climate. 900k-1.2 at most now considering flat cap. 1.5 would be fine in a normal offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
