These buyouts and Schmidt return just make me laugh, team has no idea what it is doing and the GM is just doing as the owner says...no other reason how he still has a job otherwise imo. Wish we kept the guy, but glad his whiney american ass is of our team if he didn't want to be here to play OEL or something good riddance Mr. Woop Woop, can we now get Tryamkin...his #88 is available again haha! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schenn is no upgrade. Don't forget the 6 million in FA. Nobody suggested Schenn is an upgrade, he has nothing to do with Schmidt being traded. 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have $26M in available salary cap. I wouldn't worry. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a totally different situation. Doesn't matter whether the analogy fits. What matters is what the team does with that cap space. I'm gonna wait until I see who takes his minutes until I decide whether I like this deal or not. The people who made this deal - have a far better idea of the answer to that question than I do. I'd have traded Schmidt for the right RHD - if we now sign or acquire one.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustard Tiger Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Man aggressive JB is awesome. SOO much better then passive sit and wait then get the old leftovers. What sucks is its getting more and more obvious EP gonna get overpaid. If he signs an offersheet.. lol...

I wonder what he has planned. If he can get Petey/Hughes both on bridges he could make a splash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stays unless JB gets an offer he can’t refuse and he should have refused this one. Like I said I would only be ok with it if we got another legitimate top 4 D as a replacement…..otherwise all the moves this off season will be meaningless.

Schenn is no upgrade. that last sentence is pretty daft, though Schenn - at a fraction of Schmidt's cap hit - would not be his 'replacement' (if he signs here). Let's just see what actually becomes of that cap space before blowing head gaskets or getting too dramatic about it.

Patel Bure Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Disappointed but not surprised by the low ball offer (and acceptance), as the term, cap hit, and Benning dealing from a position of weakness were always going to be factors, but the good news is that we now have an extra 5.95 million to play with. Benning will likely need to bring out the knee pads and Leipsic in order to convince one of Savard or Hakanpaa to sign with us, but either one of those guys would help us quite a bit. My guess is that Hamonic will go to the Oilers. Edited July 27, 2021 by Patel Bure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuckin Kingsly Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) This I believe was needed for both sides. But I care way more about the Nucks side. I do believe Schmidt will have a bounce back year, and this year was more of an anomaly. I like how he plays. Always working, smart, positionally sound. Good passer. But for his 6 mil cap hit? When we have 7.2 for OEL. 6 for Myesy bo Bysey. And what's coming for Quin. There isn't that much room in the cap with our forwards. In addition to that, we have a very similar group of Dmen. We need a change and get some "heft" in there! Getting a turd back and replenishing some picks is great too. Now we can focus on the Big 2 extensions. Getter done Jimmy Boy! And good luck to Nate, seemed like a pretty likeable guy Edited July 27, 2021 by Nuckin Kingsly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
