At least not without a legit #1 carrying that pairing. I agree - hence the sarcasm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Well... trade Schmidt, clear cap and go for which D?? This is the most important point. If we are not bringing a substantial D back any where, we are looking at another lost season lol. Edited July 22, 2021 by Drakrami 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the guy wants to quit on the team after one season, I don't want him. He can "woop" his way down to the airport. Often the case with American players. They want to play close to home in the US. Ill be happy when we trade Schmidt and his 6 mil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamonic is a legit top 4 d. Id love to have him back. But yes, the D looks brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point it may require bringing Hamonic back, but I still feel the cheapest acquisition with the highest ceiling is Ristolainen as he does almost everything. I have to think Buffalo itself has impacted him like everyone else there. If we traded for him and signed Hamonic then we end up with: Hughes Hamonic Joulevi Ristolainen Rathbone Myers I feel that’s a well balanced D core that is mostly pretty young. Whatever you move Schmidt for closely offsets the Risto acquisition cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL97OneTimer Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 So I haven't been in the loop on this situation......JB is looking to deal Holtby and Schmidt but we don't have viable replacements for either of them. They're both friends from the Caps days. Is this a locker room situation that needs fixing? It would make sense but I don't know if I'm making that up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 So....Vancouver is all in next year on Wright/Savoie or...Hughes Honestly, if we trade Schmidt our ONLY defenseman worth the name will be.....Hughes. He's gonna burn out so hard. Seriously questioning the wisdom of this because I don't see any possible way we're finding a replacement for him AND Edler at their current cap hits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next offseason jim could get a couple real good ones, very deep next year. Another cross your fingers scenario 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks have a good core and he could be a part of it; imo, the trade request rumour turned up when the resigning(s) occured. He certainly has a good perspective on what a good coaching staff can do. You might be on to something or perhaps it's the weather ?

RWMc1 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) 10 team no trade list. I'm guessing all other Canadian teams are on that list. Covid restrictions might have made him want to be in the USA somewhere closer to home or on a good team (in the USA).
