LeBrun: There's hope Schmidt gets traded before tomorrow- Boston/NYI

[UrbanImpact]

What would be a return from Boston or NYI?

Other sources have indicated that Winnipeg's main and original target was Schmidt but Schmidt wouldn't waive his NTC on multiple occasions. Jets offer was apparently the one they eventually ended up giving up for Dillon. 2nds x2

Left D is a big need for Boston, so makes sense, although hope they don't overpay.

 

[Forge]

Schmidt kind of feels like a Boston Bruin.

 

[miscs75]

Leo and/or Hickey is my guess to be involved from a cap standpoint

 

[saintunspecified]

I don't see how 6MAAV fits NYI's 2nd pairing. Not without money going back. Not with Pelech left to sign. Maybe later in the offseason.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

Wont return much, IMO. Same reasons as last time. Limited market because of NTC, Vancouver probably isnt interested in taking back salary, etc. His declining production in Vancouver probably wont help either, but most of that was usage.


Obviously Vancouver can do better by taking back salary.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

There's no hope with Benning.

 

[Gargyn]

Too much money. 6 million?? Ouch no thanks unless Canucks retain 1.5.

 

[Macch]

As an Isles fan I hope not

Contract is fugly

It doesn’t at all without a contract going back and retention. Too much term to take on at full value.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Retention and with the Bruins sending future considerations perhaps....

 

[IslesBro715]

no me gusta

 

[denis5]

Don't see it for the Islanders; can't fit him into their cap unless significant money or a bad contract goes back.

 

[Hivemind]

The "Trotz connection" doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Barry Trotz barely played Schmidt, keeping him as a low-minute 3rd pairing D or sometimes even a healthy scratch (including scratching him for Mike Weber or an obviously-injured Karl Alzner in the playoffs).

 

[bossram]

I don't really see the fit with NYI. They just traded Leddy (a similar-ish player with a slightly smaller cap hit) away for cap space. Addiing Schmidt just undoes that.

Boston clearly has a spot available in the top-four and have the cap space. But I can't imagine they want to pay much. Maybe like Clifton and a late pick.

I thought Reilly was a nice fit for them though. Boston fans, is there any word on Reilly re-signing?

 

[UrbanImpact]

I think the Canucks would be very happy with a draft pick/prospect return as I feel they have a lot of irons in the for free agency and or other trades and want the cap space.

I think it will something like

Connor Clifton and a 4th rnd pick for Schmidt


Its too bad he refused to waive for Winnipeg as I believe thats the place we could have received good value.

 

[The Rochester Rocket]

so whoever doesn't sign Suter is going to trade for Schmidt

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Always felt something like Schmidt to Florida for Gudas and a mid-round pick made sense. There were FLA rumors for Schmidt too, I believe.

Gudas and a 3rd would work

 

[Love]

A guy like Gudas would fit our needs much more than Schmidt does

 

[AHLdepth]

Schmidt for Debrusk (15% retained), Moore and Frederic?

Cap hit is a wash essentially but what I don't know is if the Bruins are counting on Moore's LTIR money, or honestly how valued Frederic is.

It leaves the Canucks so so so weak on defense, but potentially bolsters forward depth so it feels like a Benning move.

 

[kilowatt]

Los Angeles is interested. Y'all want Tyler Madden back?

Pass on Madden, what is the LA Kings offer for Schmidt?

Nope. How about Schmidt for a 4th round pick? You're not getting great assets, let a lone a package of them, for that contract.
