elvis15 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Well, I was hoping he'd find a steal in a cap dump from all the other teams signing players, but didn't expect someone with an almost $6M cap for the next 5 years. Schmidt should be a solid player and a help for a lot of that, but hopefully it doesn't handcuff us at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case add 3.5 million Dollars... Yeah but it would make calling up players cap hit more so. OJ would be like a 1.8M cap hit. @mllknows how the LTIR works like that.

Yeah, not the same style of D-man but objectively better. He's done well vs hard competition while putting up a decent amount offense. He's worth the extra cap compared to what we would have signed Tanev for. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I respect your opinion, but Schmidt for 6 years is blessing, Tanev for 4 is dissatisfaction, you can't compare them, its not even close. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2020 I give Schmidt as hard time for the PEDs, but this is a heck of a move by Benning and company. They pick up a first pair quality Dman on a good contract, and pay cap dump prices (a 2022 3rd round is NOTHING for a player of this caliber). Vegas was in a bind, but this is an absolute gift of a deal. Schmidt values out around $8M per season by advanced models, and he’s making only $6M. 3 14 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general the value of a pick goes down by 1 round each year it's pushed back, at least when it comes to 3rd+ round picks. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patel Bure Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 This deal is a MASSIVE win for the Canucks as far as this coming season goes, but will we be able to clear enough cap to sign Demko, Pettersson, and Hughes now? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as Virtanen and Gaudette don't cost us more than 5-6mil we can get under the cap by throwing Ferland on LTIR and Baer can be buried in the minors. Maybe we have 3.5 million off books from Ferland? Shows Canucks with just under 2 million left.. Great trade solid # 2 guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even still, the return blew me away. Only a 3rd? What a deal! Same when I heard he might go to Florida I wished he’d come here but didn’t think Vegas would send him here. Wow shocked really.

Kobayashi Maru Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I hate Schmidt but I think this is a good trade. I think he’ll compliment Edler really well. Edler is more methodical while Schmidt will run around like the Energizer bunny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a FA signing for that price. 6 mil contract isn’t cheap but he’s a quality player! I think I'd rather schmidt to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Podzilla Posted October 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 13, 2020 Surprised more people aren’t stoked on this. Even HF boards is going crazy and saying steal of the last few years. This guys a #2 d-man under contract for the next 5 years making under 6 mill for a third....... Adding him and Juolevi is going to help our transition game huge. We’re already better than last year with this trade imo. 4 1 5 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noble 6 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I think Benning made this deal quickly to make sure he secured Schmidt. Ideally there would have been either some retention or a pick coming back from Vegas, but I think management made sure they didn't miss out. Even then, a 3rd is a really good price on paper. That's in the same ballpark as a 5th, which was used to get Gudbranson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
