I think Florida is a perfect fit tbh and Elliotte said there was a lot of interest in him at the TDL. Can’t wait till he bounces back next year and once again shows how awful green’s system is.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Sad

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

He struggled a bit this year, but man, I think he could still be a really important piece for us going forward. Sucks that either he or the team or both want to move on.

 

[canucksfan]

Can be a solid piece. Didn’t give much up for him but selling low now isn’t a good move.

Ottawa would be smart to pick him up.

 

[SFKingshomer]

To LA for a 3rd or decent prospect.

 

[Regal]

I mean the smart thing would have been to can the terrible coach and let him thrive in a proper system, but I suppose Dim Jim can justify selling low on a player if he also bought low

 

[m9]

Will be interesting if that contract is considered a positive asset or not.

 

[PG Canuck]

I give up.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

The sad thing is we’d be needing a similar type player coming back… so would have to be a lateral trade where both players need a “fresh” start? And/or one where Canucks can save a little cap space. Ideas?

 

[Tonystretcher]

I think he’ll have a nice bounce back. Hopefully they hold off on this and can mend the relationship.

OEL incoming

 

[PG Canuck]

Edler Brisebois Rathbone LD next year? what could go wrong? Dare I even look at the RD with no Schmidt?

This is just so pathetic.

Oh wait we are gonna get OEL! Problem solved.

 

[supercanuck]

Sigh.

The other 6 million dollar dman should be on the trade block, but can't say I'm surprised that this is the route Benning chose instead.

You dare slander the great and powerful Travis Green?! You best bet those in media don't hear of your Folly. Lest you wish to keep your head upon your shoulders.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Clearing out the wrong Dman. Myers is just f***ing awful.

Hopefully they trade him to Seattle for nothing. Would love to see the Kraken get a solid top 4dman for scraps.

 

[m9]

OEL incoming

Him or RR seems inevitable

 

[Breakers]

Vancouver is where defense goes to die

 

[LaVal]

I mean, is it really a big loss? He certainly wasn't worth $6 million to this team. Let him go play somewhere where he can play to his potential and give Rathbone his offensive minutes. We could better spend that money on a defensive partner for Hughes.

 

[tantalum]

Of course he is. He'll get traded for OEL, proceed to play strong two-way hockey in Arizona while OEL continues to shit the bed for the canucks.

 

[PavelBure10]

"Sigh", Schmidt will get traded and look superb with whatever new team he plays for. I for one think he had an off year, and still think he is a very important piece to this team. Once traded I feel Nate will be added to the list of players we regret giving away "Toffoli, Tanev, Stecher".

It will ultimately depend on what we get in return - but it’s frustrating to watch us move on from Schmidt when we have more money invested in - and give significant more responsibility to - an inferior defender in Tyler Myers.

That would've made sense if we had a GM who's known to have an eye for talent in the FA market.

Benning is the opposite of that.

 

[Soups On]

For f***s sake. The issue isn't Schmidt, it's this atrocious system. Every defensemen that comes here immediately performs worse.

Jimbo being an obtuse moron again, no surprise. Type of guy to put a bandaid on a flesh wound.

 

[Nazzlind]

To LA for a 3rd or decent prospect.

A 2nd and Tyler madden lol
