You can get a guy like Bogosian without giving up assets. OJ might bust because of injuries or other reasons, but his ceiling is still the #2-3D elite passing shutdown D he was drafted to be and his floor if healthy a #5-6D with qualities not many 3rd pairing D:s have. Sure there are question marks, but that's why he'll be paid under a million and not 5 mil (or 2.5 like Virtanen). The chance of him being a great contributor on a reasonable cap hit for years to come is big enough to make him pretty much untradeable from an asset standpoint right now. If he busts and we get nothing + spent a high draft pick, well sometimes that's the risks you gotta live with and the cost of doing business. Virtanen should of course have been traded a long time ago but easy to say that now and at least the buyout is not a huge issue financially.

While not a gif, still one of my fave Nux clips from throughout the years. Good memories. Was with a group of buddies watching this game on tv, all of us high and buzzed and this almost killed us.

Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Fit Schmidt in the cap this way: Pettersson- 4 years 7.2 per Hughes- 4 years 6.8 per Garland- 5 years 4.9 per Dickinson- 3 years 2.8 per Juolevi- 1 year 1 mil Jujar khairia- 1 year 1 mil Miller pettersson Boeser Hoglander Horvat Granland Pearson Dickinson podkolzin Khairia McEwen Motte Highmore OEL Schmidt Hughes juolevi (gonna have to try him on the off side) Rathbone Myers Demko Holtby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall I like the lineup. Id try to find a way to get rid of Holtby and use that cap for a Dman. OJ need a some more seasoning before he is ready for a full time role. That lack of pivot ability scares me. Hopefully an off-season of training has fixed that knee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could barely spell their own name, never had a coherent thought other than “must bully smaller person”, and were just donkeys in a pack full of donkeys braying at whatever the group brayed at. Just seems to me anyway. I could be wrong. Have you seen some of his interviews? Often gives very coherant, self-aware, introspective answers that are several minutes long. One of the most (publicly) coherant guys in the NHL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I think we should have a pool, pick the page number this tread will be on when Schmidt actually gets traded, is there a gambling plug in for this software, or is that against the EULA of this site???

Bowie could be serviceable as a 7th D if need be. Good speed and hits too, 6’2 202lb right hand shot. His game just reached a peak and he never grew into further expectations. His actual d play needs fine tuning. As a 7th though he’s a decent asset and we already have him signed at 725K for one more year, maybe worth a shot with Shaw and see if he can turn his game around? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats if green gives him a chance which he didnt last season for some reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
