Happy about the trade. He is a #4 being paid like a #2. Not sure why he gets so loved on this board. Greens system sucks and he definitely didnt flourish under it, but he still looked like trash most of the time.
He was easily this team’s best defender last year.

Disagree. Also best defender on the Canucks is like saying Nickelback was the best concert of the night when the opener was Bieber.
Actually pretty rare, especially guys he traded for. He tends to double down the shit out of the trash he acquires and shoves them in our face. Remember Granlund and Gubranson?How many times has dim jim acquired someone only to get rid of them next year
Who was better? Schmidt-Edler were buried in tough minutes for most of the year and managed to tread water while the rest of the blueline bled goals from easier minutes.
Hughes. Only defenesman who could actually make a play happen. No he was no very good defensively, but he could at least make a proper pass. Everyone else was a legit black hole (including Schmidt). I know you and most will disagree, but I still think he was our #1 and most important. Edler was a trainwreck. Slow as hell.
Anyways, I dont necessarily dislike Schmidt. But he is WAY overpaid. He should be making 3.5-4 and a #4.

The whole defensive corps was abysmal...from the coaching on down to all the players. None of them really deserve any praise for what they did last season...except maybe Jack Rathbone in his limited time. I don't know how or why they've stuck with Baumer throughout this mess? This coming year will be a real litmus test for Brad Shaw's reputation as a defensive coach.
