Someone should tell Taj that it's not a bombshell... actually, someone should cut Taj's internet.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Seeing as we didn't swing at a guy like Buchnevich (likely for future cap reasons), I'm hoping we are keeping the 9th pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanlet Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 The Canucks are already going to be non-competitive this year because of the Luongo recapture handicap, so why trade away a top 10 pick to clear bad contracts that are in their last year? They should have just sucked one more year until the league's unfair kneecap penalty expired. At least AZ retained $1m of OEL salary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenSurgeon Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Benning sure has something for Larrson. He is going to end up to be another Errikson. Benning once again was pressured by ownership to make this deal as they seem to think they are still a contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmidt on his own would easily get us back into the 1st round. He's a solid, proven top 4 D. That's what they go for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at what guys are getting moved for, he's a solid top 4 throughout his career, he's signed at a reasonable cap hit for another 4 years, he's easily worth a 1st round pick. I still don't really think that we're going to move him but who knows, we're overhauling the team and we might be interested in turning him into another forward, and then going shopping in Free Agency to see who else we can pickup. Personally, I'd rather have him back, he adds a LOT to our team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’d be funny. Edited July 23, 2021 by Me_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get rid of him for value then it'll likely not be enough (can't see him getting a first) and getting rid of him for a 2nd just isn't enough value unless a good player drops. Might as well just see what we have with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
