Moe Knows Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 When we traded for Schmidt I was stoked, thought he'd be a real plus for our D...yeah not so much....my feelings on his trade..Meh...we got what we paid and freed up some cap....no big loss Now what I'm really happy to hear is that it looks like we're bringing back Luke Schenn..know he's jut a role player but feel he'll bring some grit and toughness we badly need like he did when he played bodyguard for Quinn...he was OK defensively too..remember his record for hits in a game.. Sorry went off topic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offering Pearson an extension with. nTC was not needed during a bogus season! lol I might be wrong, but didn't JB actually get Pearson to take a pay cut in said bogus season?

Sorry went off topic Schenn's the ideal 6/7 D for us. Worked his tail off to get into the lineup after the trade and played some of the best hockey of his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 This is where Adam Larsson signing prior to free agency really sucks. Bringing him & Hamonic in after making this move would've been the cherry on top. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, on the forum of the actual NHL team. I don't know, maybe they have lives. Or they are on other social media platforms. But because none of them fall in line with the narrative here, the general consensus seems to be that it's voodoo. So again - Trumpian; a very small, passionate group of fans are going to follow their beloved leader no matter what facts or logic tells them and whoever goes against that is either toxic or part of the conspiracy.

MystifyNCrucify Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 If a player wants out, you make it happen. Simple as that. I imagine the timing before free agency, no retention, and ntc affected the return but it had to be done. Wierd that schmidt caved after nixing previous trades to wpg though. He must have reaaaally hated his time in Vancouver. I half expect him to play three months in wpg and ask for another trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
