So the Canucks trade Nate Schmidt for a 3rd round draft pick, he has a high salary, he is coming off a bad year and he requested a trade....let's flip him for a first? So basically trade a 3rd round pick for a first round pick? Well Schmidt won’t fetch a 1st, that’s for sure... but Canucks acquired him at rebate since Vegas needed to get rid of him quickly for Pietrangelo. so you are right but not necessarily for the reason you mentioned . But I do think we could trade him for a better return than a 3rd. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian42 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 On the left side we have: hughes OEL Schmidt Juolevi Rathbone schmidt can play the right side but he’s better suited to the left side. gotta think due to cap space, style of play(3 offensive guys) and a log jam on the left side that Schmidt is going to be traded. I’d take a 3rd because we can use the cap space better but hoping for more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BtueyCanuckFan Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Zadorov is another left shot D according to elite prospects. I like the guy but we need right shot defenders more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Nate sticks around, he will be much better. Hughes was actually decent defensively his rookie year. He will be fine... even if he's not here for his defensive game. These are high end players who I'm confident won't pull.an Eriksson and forget how to play at a high level. OEL is a very solid player in all respects. He will kick butt in Vancouver. Myers is Myers. Not horrible and has size. Then the best of OJ or Rathbone... both defensively responsible. We need a true shutdown guy still. That much I concede. But overall, we will be just fine. Good, even.... Nates not sticking around. I dont think many teams are going to want his 6 mil cap. Bad yr or not, Hughes cant defend to save his life. OEL is a legit #1 dman. I dont think people realize how good this guy can be. OJ plays big and we need these types badly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't particularly agree with your comments, though the above is particularly contradictory. If nobody wants him, then he's staying unless he asked for a trade, in which case I guess we are forced to sell low. In my world, it makes more sense to reset and give it another go.

Yup Yea, if Schmidt sticks around I could see this being a solid pairing. The two would compliment each other well, a smooth 2-way game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d take a 3rd because we can use the cap space better but hoping for more. This whole notion of defenders not being able to play on their off side is a bit over dramatized. These guys can juggle around. If Schmidt remains, our D will look incredible. Only way Schmidt goes is if JB has another top 4 defence acquisition pencilled in from elsewhere for the same or lower Cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
