Alflives Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 1 minute ago, Phat Fingers said: Think it is low value for d men atm, plus Schmidt really struggled in Vancouver and the chatter about wanting out dropped his value too. Rental for a 3rd and sold for a 3rd. But 5.9 in cap… that’s not priceless… I have not checked in on the cdc… not sure how JB has spent or plans too spend so, the second act is yet to come. Has Schmidt really been the same player since the PED suspension? Personally, I’m ecstatic he’s gone, and JB was able to dump all that contract.

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Reading that he hated his time in Vancouver, didn't want to play in Canada and maybe didn't get along with Green is sad considering his interview right after being traded here. Also makes the most likeable player in the league a lot less likeable. Shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame. he sounded so happy on his post trade interview with us... maybe that was all an act? lol I wonder what happened in that locker room for him to want out in less than a year... you could tell from his interview here that he didn't want to leave Vegas. Hs heart wasn't in it for us this season and that's the disappointing part. https://www.nhl.com/news/golden-knights-trade-nate-schmidt-to-canucks/c-319441516 he took this market for granted, I hope he enjoys Winnipeg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseBlue Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 A lot of people are making a mountain out of a molehill. He went from a winner to a mediocre team and sometimes it gets to you mentally. The team has traded him to another team and that's that. It was short lived but wish him the very best except when they play is that is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't his specialty though so it's not surprising he'd get more exposed with that kind of tough minutes. As would any defenseman who's not primarily a defensive defenseman imho. Too bad Shaw wasn't here earlier. Edited August 1, 2021 by NewbieCanuckFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care if he didn't like the city, etc. thats his right. I wouldn't live in Winnipeg so that makes us even. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so funny that he turned down the trade twice before deciding to go. Kind of like looking for the last girl in the bar at closing time and saying “Oh, what the hell…” Enjoy Winnipeg Nate! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Lets see if I understand. Many people here wanted Schmidt gone and are glad he has been traded but are pissy that he pumped up his new team on the way out? Despite the homer view of many, he is not wrong if he did make a parting shot about the Canucks not taking winning overly seriously last year. The team was chock full of passengers and underachievers. Edler, Beagle, Eriksson, Roussel, Sutter, any of the waiver garbage Benning thought should be top 6 players, etc. The coaching was sub par at best. The team played like a minor hockey team defensively. Scrubs were regularly in the top 6. The roster has certainly improved. Now its time for the coaching to as well. Playing favorites for guys like Sutter, Pearson, etc. needs to go. Young support guys need to be trusted much more. The team as a whole needs to learn to play team defense at an NHL level. There is still a ton of work to be done. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Glad Schmidt sounds excited about being in Winnipeg. He really got a raw deal with Vegas, and it's too bad things didn't work out better here. He's a much better player than most here seem to think he is. Wish Nate all the best in Winnipeg, and I think they'll actually do quite well next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
