EastCoastNucks Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 17 minutes ago, CanuckFan1123 said: Since a Schenn trade seems inevitable I just wish they would announce it already. Poor guy has to just sit around not playing while he waits for something. These teams and the new system of “trade related scratches” should be penalized. This needs to be addressed before next season. I don’t mind if it’s a one game thing if it’s like a sure fire same day trade but like Schenn has sat for like 3 games now and Chychrun has been sitting like 2 weeks. It’s unfair to the players and takes away from the game. Inevitable? We could just offer him an extension. how would a pick be more valuable to the canucks right now compared to a solid NHL defensman? with so many not solid defenseman like the two most overpaid in history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that is paid, he will be easily tradeable. Also it doesn't save us any money by buying him out, we just delay the penalty by an extra year. OEL is not bad enough to be a buyout candidate yet, but none of this has to do with Schenn getting traded. You missed that OEL's NMC also precludes us from waiving him. But hey, facts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Face Doom Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 People need to stop saying to buy out OEL. It makes zero sense with what's left on his term and his contract structure. This has been explained ad nauseam. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Arrogant Worms Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Absolutely agree with what KB said on HNIC....trading him for a 3rd would be a joke. He is a character guy that is great in the room and protects his teammates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costs us more than his $6m cap to replace him with a league min guy. Trade Myers after his bonus. Ride OEL for a couple years while we're building. Hope he can get his injury healed and recover his ability like Karlsson has. If not, retain and trade or buy him out when we actually look to be competitive. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love to extend Schenn but I just feel like between him not playing right now and all the reports it’s a matter of time now before he’s moved. I think an offer would have to be substantial for it to be worth it to trade him but I’m hard pressed to see us keeping him at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best and optimal route for both players. This has been explained over and over and over again yet people keep throwing out these ridiculous options without thinking it through. Honestly, although it's a message board, it's literally talking to a brick wall. Edited February 26, 2023 by Metal Face Doom 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Erased Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I was not aware OEL had a NMC anymore. I thought it was void once he was traded to Vancouver. Thanks for the info though. Much appreciated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen Erased Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Truthfully, I haven’t followed the team that closely because I’ve been dealing with serious health problems. I just know when I do tune into games, I am frustrated to no end when Myers and OEL are out there on the ice. I apologize for my ignorance. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't take it too personally, it just gets difficult reading something along those lines, numerous times, EVERY day, when neither route is remotely realistic to anyone with any clue as to contract status, buyout costs etc. It becomes a little mind numbing Best of luck on your health issues. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNucks Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Truth, for many reasons listed we are stuck with Myers and OEL long term which is why more than ever we need a cheap, honest, loyal guy like Schenn. Who can fix Myers, fix OEL. we all noticed when Bear played with OEL all the sudden he didnt suck quite as much. Schenn does that for both of them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t take it personally at all. Clearly, I was wrong and should have read the whole topic through. I do appreciate the information and the well wishes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should also be moveable after his bonus is paid in the summer and he's only got $1m of actual salary left. So no, we're not stuck with him long term.

Nice to get an asset back for a lost season and not have him help us win more meaningless games this year on, is helpful in itself at this point Having the chance to resign him in the off season, (if both sides want it) is still an option as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re an old school veteran here, if I’m not mistaken. When you tune in, tune in to the GDT(God Dammit Tank!) thread here. It’s the most carefree and entertaining way to watch a Canucks game.
