Also there is the return of only the 3rd round pick of two years later. I guess Benning has made some magic. Benning had a plan which some people will refuse to believe. It’s called patience and understanding other teams cap situation. Badabing badaboom, forget about it. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller-Pettersson-Boeser Pearson-Horvat-Eriksson Roussel-Gaudette-Virtanen Motte-Beagle-MacEwen Sutter Edler-Schmidt Hughes-Myers [Juolevi or Rathbone]-Benn [Juolevi or Rathbone] Demko (50/50) Holtby (50/50) -Podkolzin possibly arrives at the end of the season of his team gets eliminated. -Tryamkin possibly arrives if the Canucks have enough cap space and can sign him to a long term deal. -Ferland will likely be on LTIR. If not, then I think Eriksson will get sent to the minors to accommodate his salary. -Baertschi will be on the farm again. -Virtanen willl get somewhere between 2.75 and 3 million per via arbitration. That is how it stands at the moment. I would hope that we can just assume Eriksson is buried and can add a “project” player like Athanasiou for $1 million. I think Leivo in a similar deal should be an add. We need to shed cap as it stands, so maybe Gaudette is a casualty in order to get that done, but n which case you just slot Sutter in there. Maybe Rafferty is who goes, Benning has neglected to say his name a few time’s when mentioning young D who are ready for the NHL. If we were to make any fancy moves I can see him as an attractive trade chip to either a cap strapped team who needs a cheap prospect or a budget team who wants to a sweetener to take on a contract.

Maniwaki Canuck Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 What all these dumb comments about this being a bad acquisition show is that some posters here didn't watch the Vegas series and aren't real fans. Because if they did, it would be undeniable that Schmidt is a stud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand fans on these boards get excited seeing new players on the team but having a 4th dman eat up 6 mill of our cap is going to handcuff us for years down the road. Benning panicked. Hey Eddie, don't quit your day job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appleboy Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Solid pickup for a third. 5.9 mil for 5 more years is concerning but it is within Canucks cap structure . The 5.9 mil cap is why they got him for a third round pick. This shows that you can weponize cap space if you have it. Managing cap space is soooooo important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s called patience and understanding other teams cap situation. Badabing badaboom, forget about it. Agreed. It's tough watching players sign with other teams, but this offseason, the Canucks management have done a good job (so far). I, like others, have been critical of some of Benning's past signings. Fortunately, these bad signings (Eriksson, Sutter, Baertschi) will be off the books in 1-2 seasons. These contracts absolutely hampered the teams ability to improve, but realistically, most teams are dealing with the same issues. Losing Toffoli hurts a little, as I think his contract with Montreal is very good value. Stetcher's as well. There are at least 2-3 months until the seaon starts, so there is a lot of time to fill out the roster and (hopefully) shed a bad contract or two!

Seattle is very much into analytics and already has one of the larger departments. Alexandra Mandrycky, co-founder of the site war-on-ice, actually helped hire their GM. As part of their GM search they also analysed the efficiency of contracts signed by the different candidates. That sure helped Chyka If they pick a UFA thats great too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devron Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 What a great trade. If JB can clear up some space and add another Dman. Preferably young RH with experience. This off-season will be a huge success after losing some fan favs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with Edler and Hughes exempt, there's no need to expose Myers atm. Actually, I think Myers gives us some things we still need: RD, physical, some offense, so I'm happy enough to keep him. Compare our game with and without him during the playoffs this year: he's an important part of the mix. Maybe not the best value, but that's what filling needs in free agency will do. it all depends n whether or not we go the 8 skater protection route or the 7F/3D route. We'll have to see what our roster is in a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, none of these GMs based on analytics have shown they're any better than a GM not based on analytics. Realistically, you probably need a hybrid between the 2, but analytics should never be used as the eyes of the organization but more as a compliment to confirm the eye test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
