Me_ Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) Canucks open to moving Schmidt Canucks open to moving Schmidt Gaping hole on the blue line What are the thoughts on that? It feels as if his enthusiasm wasn’t overly shared. Yet he rest of the team, to the point that Holtby had to tell him to lower the amplitude… Is he not a fit then? Schmidt + for Jones?

Popular Post MeanSeanBean Posted May 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2021 That would be the definition of selling low. He's a very good defensemen who didn't play to the best of his ability last year. IMO it would be silly to trade him because it's highly unlikely we get the value we want our of him. If Jones, or another high level RHD is on the table then you make a deal. But I don't think that's likely. We are likely to see an over saturation of defense on the market this summer. We should be buyers, not sellers. 5 1 11 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PhillipBlunt Posted May 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) Now Schmidt is on the move? Sounds like Drance and Johnston are spitballing and nothing more. The issues with the defense start with Nolan Baumgartner. Bringing him back is a mistake that will result in the team continuing to be porous defensively, regardless of the personnel on the ice. This rumor seems to be full of something that rhymes with Schmidt. Edited May 31, 2021 by PhillipBlunt 4 1 3 13 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtman Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I don't see why we would move him after the abysmal season everyone had. Give everyone another year to gel IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PhillipBlunt Posted May 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2021 What I'm really blown away by is that there are people out there who would actually pay a subscription to the Athletic to read an article written by Thomas Drance. 2 1 10 18 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunjabiCanucks Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Rather move Myers for Jones. Schmidt wasnt able to gel with the team and hes a vocal guy. Hes a nice touch on our back end 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Oregon.Duck Posted May 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2021 Step 1: Post some turd of a rumor on twitter Step 2: Have some rando blog use that as a source Step 3: Make a whole fanbase panic I swear.

It already has been. Benning stated in the interview that he has spoken to Schmidt and he did not request a trade or show any sign of wanting out. 2 3 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can confirm. I listened to that as well. Was a pretty good interview. Obviously Jim would play his card close to his chest of something had been brought up to him, but he also seems like a very open and honest guy. To a fault even. I think to call this speculation is a stretch. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I dont think they are suggesting Schmidt wants out. It seems like they are suggesting it would be the team wanting to trade him. 2 different rumors from what I am reading there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNate Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I think that Schmidt is probably our best trade piece. If we can get a solid return for him and open up some space, I'd be open to it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
