Yup! He has his warts but his puck movement and offensive instincts are excellent.
Yup and JoMo is back to his excellent defensive play and link up play so Schmidt's warts aren't that big of a deal.

I haven't delved into his advanced stats much (Schmidt)....but even his defensive numbers look good, even with a handful of noticeable blunders.Yup and JoMo is back to his excellent defensive play and link up play so Schmidt's warts aren't that big of a deal.

I was under the impression that they tried to make him into a shutdown defensive D-man with the Canucks. As good as he has been for us, I can definitely see why that didn't work out.I wonder if it was just the Canucks who sucked and not Schmidt? Hmmmmmmm

Genuinely fun. I like that he's having a good time here.

I just posted on Canucks forum, was he like this with them as well?
I more so meant the personality. He's been a fan favorite from day one.Yeah, he was solid when he was with us too. It's just that our dummy of a GM needed a scapegoat after last season so he swapped out Schmidt for OEL, at a higher cap hit and more years, all so that he could parade OEL as a shiny new toy that could turn around the team's fortunes. Another short-sighted move by our GM, but Canucks fans are use to it by now.
I'm glad you guys got Schmidt. You've always had a very well-managed team and I thought one of the only things missing was another top-4 defenseman. Hopefully, the stars align for you guys and you get a Stanley Cup while Wheeler is still effective.
