Popular Post Devron Posted October 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2020 Anyways... finally got to see the Schmidt interview and am even more excited about this acquisition. I’m excited for the team to have this guy in the dressing. Seems like he’ll be an instant leader. Just like how JT Miller is now. Actually really interesting to listen to. Very little cliche talk 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that I don't think everything done/not done this off-season was all a part of the plan to bring Schmidt in for a 3rd. Benning gets all the credit from me for having a plan but not panicking to chase it, and then working out a different plan once the original(s) didn't work. I didn't mean you necessarily, I just saw that brought up & its something I keep hearing. Sorry I didn't mean to paint you into an argument. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracksuit Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) So he’s a left handed right side D. He Comfortable on the right side But he isn’t the righty so many on here were obsessed with. All of a sudden those obsessed with getting a “righty” are ecstatic we landEd another lhd. Huh. hes a good dman and we got him cheap because they Had upgraded and had to shed cap. We barely had the cap to take him and it’s a deal that fell in our lap from the reports I read itS more because the Florida deal fell apart. Hence why we were tied to weegar. glad we got him and not Perto or OEL. Not sure our d is improved because of him if you factor in we lost stecher and Tanev but we needed change on the back end and we got that. Lol Canuck 73-3 The confused super troll.

Yah Bieksa was a top 2 dman right ? All star games right ? Maybe even a hall of famer..... right ? Crack me up.... Bieksa did super well for a 5th round draft choice. He had amazing leadership skills and was a fantastic teamate.... 800 games in the show for a 5th round is Fantastic.... Too bad he wasn't a better skater , it would have really helped his game.

It’s a fairly significant upgrade imo but there is still a hole in the bottom pairing you’re right about that. If we added a guy of Stechers calibre then our defence is quite a bit better especially as it seems a couple guys are ready. I think OJ will be an upgrade on Fanta and Benn by the time the seasons done 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically you are correct, he it was more of a salary dump for a third. I see you gave up discussing Canucks track record of drafting D men. Happy to see you ending a discussion when you admit you lost. Heh, i love to see that kind of growth in you. Very encouraging. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I await the answer in spite of it's nevertheless irrelevence to your mischaracterization of this trade..... for the sake of off topic discussion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just tried to stretch out the crapping on Benning take. Unfortunate for him the fan base has largely come to accept Jim did amazing. There is zero chance Vegas pays a division rival to game on arguably the second best defenseman. (Pietro being their first lol). If Vegas had to pay he'd end up out east. He also said the Canucks 'got worse' defensively. After the media, pretty sure including the VanCast, was saying during the Vegas series that the Canucks defense didn't move the puck well enough, namely Tanev/Edler. (And rightly so) So here we make a move to address that, and the take-away is we got worse defensively. Its like we all acknowledge the defense needs to improve & become more mobile, well you can't change/improve it by bringing back the same group of guys who caused you to make that acknowledgement. Its just like JD Burke saying they shouldn't have qualified Virtanen & kept Toffoli (fair take in a vaccum), when I'm sure he would've been complaining about asset management had they let Jake walk.

kenhodgejr Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Schmidt reminds me of JT Miller with his humble hard working up bringing. Coaches love guys like this. He is a high character big personality. I see him and Beagle getting along well. I think his infectious positivity will help boost Quinn Hughes confidence to allow him to blossom into the superstar he was meant to be. He is built for playoff hockey. He is extremely dangerous with his first pass so it gives our top D pairing a dangerous look. Hughes Schmidt Edler Myers Benn Rafferty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
