Danie_Canuck Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Just a thought - and I could be wrong - but Scheen’s wife is very pregnant and due on the 3rd of March. It is highly possible that he came back to Vancouver for the birth of his child vs being traded…….. Just a thought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the market is a 3rd, he will get a third, if it's a 2nd, he will get a 2nd. Reality is, Schenn is going to get dealt to the highest bidder. As long as he gets dealt , it is positive on 3 fronts.....We get more draft capital that can be used to either pick a player or use to move up/down, we lose a good D which helps us get a better pick, we get to take a look at 1 extra prospect down the stretch. Yeah I agree 100%. The franchise needs to start making smart hockey decisions. Take the asset in a losing season and forget about being Mr. Sentimentality. It's pointless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody should be thinking about the now when it comes to returns at the trade deadline for us. What was wrong with Baer? He was a solid player and only injuries kept him down. Otherwise, he'd have been a great contributor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Anderson as well, bit other than injuries detailing his career, I had no issues with the trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for any team going deep in the playoffs, I mean it's not a given by any means so just imagine if you end up with a mid 20s pick and you traded it away for him because you got bumped in the first round because you played a hot team or you ended up with a bunch of injuries. It happens with top teams they got knocked off in the first round. Yup me too. I find the asks here are pretty ridiculous. It really shouldn't be that difficult of a decision. Are we a crap team going nowhere this year? Yep. Is Schenn a free agent? Yep. Then trade him for what we can. No one is giving us a good young player in return If they do great but no need to over complicate things. It should be simple. Take the pick and move on. Somehow this franchise sure seems to screw up easy things such as this with off the wall ideas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never big on the idea of trading for other teams cast offs as if it was some sort of secret. Nobody else knew about. My opinion of the two players is one we could badly use right now and have arguably needed for a long time. The other was and would continue to be redundant on this team 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree, aside from his other deficiencies he was a big member of the "softy" club and would never have been able to compete in the playoffs. He would have been another one of our regular season heroes, yay! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver might have picked higher than #53, or lower.......who knows? Even if they picked at #53, they may have picked someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myre Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 @Dazzle you seem to be confused. Rasmus is a very good dman which we badly need. Sven was near useless. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a very good model to make your team better is by drafting quality players not trading draft picks for other teams cast offs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
