Confirmed with Link: [VAN/WIN] Canucks acquire 2022 3rd Round Pick for D Nate Schmidt

[Jay Cee]

I am pretty scared what the end result is going to be on this one. I mean who is going to play defense on this team?

 

[MarkusNaslund19]

Hey Markus, I appreciate your concerns.

Are you aware of the FC Barcelona, Ottawa Senators, Philadelphia 76ers among noteworthy examples?

Did you see Jakub Voracek tweet at HFboards users who criticized him this past year?

The 76ers being a particular GM himself with a dummy twitter account?

The Senators being, again, a twitter thing with a single account I believe?

I'm not familiar with the Barcelona thing.

Look, astroturfing is a thing, particularly in political movements.

But there being like 15 people who don't set their hair on fire every time our GM makes a move is far from indicative of a coordinated 'shill' movement.

 

[Aqualung]

Benning essentially replaced Schmidt with a more expensive and less effective OEL. Such incompetence.

Again, you have created another straw.

I specifically said “that is the ONE account I would bet on”.

You have turned this into 15.

Also, look up barcagate.

 

[bandwagonesque]

bandy is doing his usual Schtick of claiming that I know something that I don’t instead of just posting a link like a normal person and I am f***ing with him.

I didn't actually read your reply since I figure everyone on this board needs a mulligan at some point. I'm not going to go find anyone's tweets. I'm busy and hungry and you'd just pivot or rationalize them somehow anyway.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

As I've said before, I'm sure these people exist in all genuineness. I've just never met one out in the wild.

 

[alternate]

The Ewoks won! I'd say Benning is Greedo, Jar Jar Binks or that tall stormtrooper that banged his head on the door.

Except wasn't that stormtrooper actually Luke Skywalker? #checkmate

Maybe you. Do you shoot left or right?

 

[MarkusNaslund19]

Says a lot when a guy elects to choose f***ing Winnipeg over Vancouver.

This franchise is a flaming dumpster fire.

I though last years D was bad. Losing Schmidt and Edler and replacing them with OEL and Schenn. Oof. Not just that but Myers is a sure bet to see over 20 min. Tragic.

FFS, you don't think any part of it is that he feels redundant here with Quinn Hughes?

He was also with this team during a bizarre Covid year. And we were hit hard with Covid.

He is a super sociable guy who couldn't even properly get to know his teammates.

It's hilarious to me that a whole contingent of these boards won't even enjoy it when we are a good team.

 

[drax0s]

, what the f***.

 

[MarkusNaslund19]

As I've said before, I'm sure these people exist in all genuineness. I've just never met one out in the wild.

You have never met a person who isn't beside themself with rage at Benning all of the time?

Someone who looks at sees that he has made a lot of good moves in the last 3-4 years, while his first few years were terrible? This is something you have never come across?

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Well, a lot of you sure were vocal when we actually were a good team.

 

[Peen]

I believe a majority of them are genuine. Like Fan, Krutov are clearly just people with different views than me.

 

[MarkusNaslund19]

It's not a strawman.

So according to your moving goalposts, all you are arguing is that there is 1 shill account on here. Why would a billion dollar organization even bother with that? It doesn't even make internal sense.

What I'm saying, is that there is this rage cult on these boards with an inflated sense of importance and an inability to process differing viewpoints. Everyone who disagrees, has to be a paid shill by the Acquillini's. Surely the people who all agree on every single point in a negative, hyperbolic direction are always correct.

 

[digger1188]

So the jets had to give up two 2nd round picks for Dillon, and all Benning could muster for a better player in Schmidt is a single 3rd rounder? Then he has the nerve to gloat about trying to strengthen the prospect pool. Meanwhile the moron has been bleeding picks like a seive lately. You just can’t make this garbage up!

1. Not who I was talking about.
2. I have come across that because that person is me. I really like what we did in that brief 2017-19 period when we got closest to an actual rebuild we've had.

 

[MarkusNaslund19]

Well, a lot of you sure were vocal when we actually were a good team.

'A lot of me', who are you lumping me in with here?

Straw again

 

[bertuzzi2bure]

Dont mind this.

Schmidt way over rated on this board for some reason. And over paid.

He got traded for a 3rd twice... if teams actually liked him they could have got him easily, particularly last summer. But I guess you guys know more than the GMs

Next trade Myers for a 3rd and revamp the D core.

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

Why is everyone who dislikes Benning apoplectic with rage? I derive great amusement from his moves and then posting about it.

Someone who looks at sees that he has made a lot of good moves in the last 3-4 years, while his first few years were terrible?

His terrible moves have continued on unabated. They did not stop 3-4 years ago. Were you under double secret Covid lockdown and are just emerging and missed the ~9 months or so?

 

[digger1188]

If you’re panicking about an offer sheet for Petterson, maybe get that deal done prior doing all these ridiculous trades. ‍

 

[clay]

Lot of hyberbole in this thread. Schmidt wanted out - Benning recouped what he paid for him even after Schmidt had a down year. Notwithstanding that he was a redundant player with 3 other puck moving LHD (4 if you count Juolevi), this trade is a nothing event.

 

[MarkusNaslund19]

Straw again

Except that it's not a straw man.

Perhaps you are convinced, for some reason, that there is only one person on here who you are sure is a paid shill. I can't make sense of that on several levels, but that's fine. And you feel misrepresented by me suggesting that you think there is a cadre of paid shills.

Perhaps I am responding to you without nuance, but I have seen the argument on these boards several time that accuses any dissenting opinion of being a shill. In fact, I was called 'a known shill' yesterday. Though not by you.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

'A lot of me', who are you lumping me in with here?

I don't know if I'm referring to you in particular, perhaps you are not this person, perhaps you are. I don't know you. But I do know a lot of people were unhappy with the previous management team, even before 2013-14, when we were actually good.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Wasnt JT Miller supposed to asking for a trade out of town..?....How did that go..?..Sorry, but I don't buy into every two bit Twitter rumour that so and so are leaving the 'tire fire'...

Schmidt never did officially ask for a trade.
