Management includes the owners. You realize that, right. They chose the direction. If they want Jim to go after a big fish to put butts in seats then that is what he will do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 as long as Benning gets back someone core age that can actually be an impact player on the team I dont care if he trades their 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d hope Benning would be exploring trade options for Ekblad. I think the Canucks would have to add a sweetener to that deal. A prospect or another pick. Rathbone is untouchable. I’d give up Lind or Gadj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Canucks would have to add a sweetener to that deal. A prospect or another pick. Rathbone is untouchable. I’d give up Lind or Gadj. I expect the price would be pretty high. I just don't see them even considering it unless its 9OA and Rathbone included and even then I just dont see them trading Ekblad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post aGENT Posted June 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) NYI are 'win now' and would love to clear Ladd... Post ED... Schmidt for Ladd (cap) + Dobson (+/- ) Schmidt arguably helps then more 'now' than Dobson and this let's them clear the last two years of dead Ladd cap. Waived Ladd + Dobson actually saves us a few hundred k over what Schmidt's cap is next year (when we're tight). Ladd comes 'home' to be a pretty good player coach in Abby. Maybe we can even convince him to take his bonus the year after, and retire to a coaching/management gig in Abby. We grow Hughes-Dobson in to our top pair for a decade.

I am! I doubt it. You don't seem to know how to properly use the double quote. You aren't quoting anyone, so your usage of it is wrong. You should've used the single quotes, like 'this' to emphasize or exaggerate your tone. "As far as being smarter then you. I am" (Your words - and full of fail.) You should use the word 'than' in this context, not 'then'. Also, the first part of that is an incomplete sentence.

Convincing John Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 On 5/31/2021 at 12:04 PM, PhillipBlunt said: 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. He was an utter disappointment. I think he was probably propped up by Vegas’ system and deep forward group. He made stupid decisions and looked completely overwhelmed. You can blame the coaching staff till you’re blue in the face but they can’t coach him out of throwing waffles to eleven in the upside down world and expect to win hockey games. Schmidt was completely exposed here. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmidt was completely exposed here. Nah. He's been a very serviceable defenseman in both Washington and Las Vegas. While some responsibility rests on his shoulders for his play, the systems that Baumgartner ran with allowed the Canucks to be the team with the highest amount of shots against in the league. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noseforthenet Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 So just assuming Nate Schmidt was on the move and the team didn't gel with him, trading him creates a hole on the back end we would have to hope Juolevi and Rathbone could fill. Edler may not even be coming back and even if he did, he's not gonna chew up the minutes he used to. Schmiddty playing the left side would be extremely important. Plus you have to lock up Quinn Hughes first, otherwise his contract could cost just as much as Jones'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
