Just hope that JB does the right thing, however it goes. I don’t think he’s in a rush either. Basically said there was lots of interest but he hasn’t moved him. If there’s an offer on the table that makes sense make a deal. Otherwise see ya at training camp Nate Edited July 22, 2021 by Devron44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there's been mention of rumors about him wanting out, and I hoped they were just that... rumors. Don't want to be selling from a position of weakness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many manufactured problems the media has lied about this past year. If anything Schmidt just probably wants a better understanding of his role 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 You’d really need a few dominoes lined up to move Schmidt at this point… with Edler possibly gone and Hamonic yet unsigned, Schmidt could be a top 4 D man on either side that we desperately need. Seattle hogging Larsson and Oleksiak doesn’t help our chances of landing FA’s that fit the bill, either. The D might very well be an issue that doesn’t get solved until next offseason.

bishopshodan Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I think it would be ok to keep this lad. Hasn't shown what he can do in his tenure here imo. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wonder if we already have a solid pair in the making with OJ-Nate. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Benning, other teams were inquiring about Schmidt and that got out. It was then twisted into him wanting out. Refuted by Benning twice. That means that other teams are interested in him. If we get decent value back then maybe we take the deal otherwise we are better off keeping him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be crazy for Benning to say “yes the rumours are right Schmidt wants out” he’d lose trade leverage so it’s better to deny it and try to move him. Or everything could be made up and he hasn’t. Believing either way is fine just take what the gm says with a grain of salt. I just wouldn’t take a gm’s word for it because he’s not going to tell you the truth just because you asked and tell all the other gms I have to move this guy. I think you’d get lesser offers coming your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might like it here or maybe he sees it like he was on two pretty good teams before coming to Vancouver. We look to be a little while away from being real contenders while Schmidt is 30 years old now. He might want to spend his prime years on a team with a better shot at a cup while he’s still in his prime. I wouldn’t be surprised either way. If he did give Benning the curtesy of going to him directly instead of making it public I don’t think that’s a crazy narrative. Benning wanting bargaining power so he could say one thing while actively shopping any player shouldn’t shock people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I’m saying is just because Benning says one thing I wouldn’t say 100% that the other scenario won’t happen. It’s a business and he wants leverage so he’s not going to show his hand.

Which scenario? Getting traded wouldn't prove that he requested a trade. If he did request a trade, then that scenario has already happened. I get your point and we are now going in circles.
