I was doubtful early on but yeah, he is great stick handler and possesses the ideal skillset to help with the transition game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmidt has been a fantastic addition to this team. It's great to see them gel as a pair. However, given his youth and progression I can't help but wonder how Juolevi would look next season if he was able to take that next step as a minute-muncher and provide the mobility that an older Edler is starting to lose. Juolevi - Schmidt just might be the big minute, all-situations guys the team probably needs moving forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanleysteamersmyl Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 He was a very good player during last year playoffs. JB stole him for only a 3rd round pick. The Canucks haven't had a offensive puck moving defenseman for a long time before Quinn Hughes. In a few years, they will have three of them - Hughes, Schmidt and Rathbone. WOOOOO 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOOOOO I'm being facetious here, but if only Jett WOO could become one too. It's unlikely though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without being a superstar point getter it takes players time to find a niche on a new team and carve out a role where they are playing the game their way.

Ray Ferraro once said it takes almost a full year for a player to fully adapt to a new team. I try to hold judgment until then. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that the off ice bonding that has been eliminated. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he will be a stay at home D who will have limited offensive ability. He said he prides himself on the defensive part of the game. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough, by far Eriksson's best season was his 2nd in Vancouver, but he was injured, so it wasn't really noticed. It also still wasn't really that great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks haven't had a offensive puck moving defenseman for a long time before Quinn Hughes. In a few years, they will have three of them - Hughes, Schmidt and Rathbone. WOOOOO Exactly this. The team has struggled to generate anything significant from the blueline for many, many years. I've stated many times that needed to change for success. Schmidt just needs to buckle down, settle in, learn the system and play his game. He was indeed showing signs of progress, but still looked scattered and scrambly to me. Made me nervous when he was out there. I also think his strong personality was a little awkward at the start for the guys. I think one has to ease into Schmitty's boisterousness. Our need on D isn't scoring and puck moving. It's size, and truly quality shutdown ability. Myers is OK, but is a complimentary guy more than a true defensive workhorse.
