VegasCanuck Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I'm surprised that we aren't getting more than a third for him, he's worth more, the flat cap is really killing the market on players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even after a tough year, Schmidt is worth more than a 3rd. Unless he desperately wanted out, I hoped we would keep him. His value to us if he has a bounce back season is obviously much higher than a 3rd. Same, but the offer sheet scare might've made this trade a must right now.

86Viking Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 In what world is Schmidt worth way less than Dillon in a trade. I know Dillon is cheaper but Schmidt is a much better D man, at least we got a pick back I guess...but very underwhelming return imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that Schmidt's contract was an albatross with a capital A. Then why did we trade for said albatross just a year ago lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conscience Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Nice glad hes gone, we need guys that want to be here and want to win. A third is a little underwhelming but no salary retention is all that matters now. Edited July 27, 2021 by Conscience 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have played him and traded him to a contender for a better return at the trade deadline. Hopefully Benning has some reliable d-men in mind to replace him. Right now we have Myers and Bowey.

Schenn is no upgrade. I am sure they plan on adding a RHD better than Schenn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll likely be hearing about a Petey signing today, any minute now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Marchand Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 How I imagine it went down: Canucks: Hey, can we get our deposit back for Schmidt? Knights: Sorry, we're all out, but the branch across town should be able to help you. I'd go to them in person, though. Their WiFi is a bit spotty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I’m hearing he hasn’t actually lifted his NTC / approval on this yet, and apparently Jets have tried to get him in past years where he has refused to waive the limited no trade clause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because after shopping him since the exit interviews ended, a 3rd rounder in a good draft is what was determined as fair current market value and most that any GM wanted to offer whether any of us likes it or not. If he was worth more in the marketplace right now, with the contract clause and those teams declined on him, then effectively his value is determined. Can’t compare apples and oranges (eg. Brenden Dillon) Edited July 27, 2021 by RWJC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush17 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 A free one year rental. Just swap picks to wpg 3rd instead of our own. That might benefit us lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
