Definitely willing to give him another shot. But if you can get assets for him and free up 6 million in cap I think you do it. I think we can use that 6 million in better ways. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Keep Schmidt. We'd be selling low and we're short on NHL capable d-men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Provorov, Sanheim, and Myers. I would actually try to trade for either Braun or Hagg from them for a pick or prospect pre-expansion. Two cheap D with shutdown capability as insurance in case Edler and Hamonic find homes elsewhere. Then move Schmidt in a later move after expansion for a 3C or a top 6 winger.

Oregon.Duck Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Our media tends to manufacture random stuff to drive clicks. Unless we hear it from the player, I’m going to just chalk it up to being a rumor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flyers are also rumored to be going heavily after Seth Jones. That rumor just wont die. If so, hopefully Benning is kicking tires as they will meed to move a dman out. They may want Schmidt if they miss out on Jones or one of the bigger name RH ufa. But I dont think he fits what they are prioritizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 If he does want out maybe Washington or even Vegas might be good trading partners. If Washington really wanted to get out from Kuznetsov and wondering with that cap how willing they’d be to potentially sell low. Schmidt, Rousell and 2nd round pick for Kuznetsov and Dillon. We should be good if the Holtby to Boston rumours are true and we can get rid of him without picking up cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just listened to a Dhaliwal quote where he at one moment says “nobody is coming out saying it isn’t true” and “we have a 30 second clip of Benning shooting it down” so… media might need to drum up some dirt to keep people tuning in during the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I wouldnt blame Schmidt if he wants out. Having said that, of all our D I think the opportunity to flourish under Shaw is probably among the highest with Schmidt. Edler was not the right partner to allow him to play his game. Thats why I am hoping Edler is not re-signed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRaj91 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Didn't Benning already come out and say that Schmidt never asked for a trade? I think it was last month he said he already had talks with Schmidt and he's happy in Van so this reports interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning could just say that so he doesn’t look like he’s dealing from a position of weakness. Or it could all be hogwash. The rumours could be completely made up or it happened and Benning is telling you it didn’t so he can find more value in a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesnt mean much though. It could be true, it could be false. If true Benning knows he would be a fool to admit it publicly especially when the player has not forced his hand by doing so. Benning is not that stupid to tank a potential return with absolutely no upside in publicly confirming something like that. Or like i said, it may just not be true. It is avery persistent rumor though and a lot of the time where there is smoke there is fire. It will be interesting to see what happens.

I would give Schmidt another year also, I think people need to stop thinking a trade is going to free up 5.9m, I doubt there are many teams who will take that contract on fully without sending some form of cap hit back. That or Canucks may get a 3rd only back or maybe less depending how quickly the Canuck GM chooses to trade him if he wants out or the team is wanting out of his contract after 1 shortened pandemic filled season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Van have enough hookers n blow for Kuznetsov tho? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
