Confirmed with Link: [VAN/VGK] Canucks acquire D Nate Schmidt for a 3rd in 2022

[Red]

Can someone pinch me just in case

 

[BB06]

Benning robbed Vegas blind

 

[ProstheticConscience]

This is absolutely massive. Amazing deal. Finally Benning starts doing something positive.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

How the hell do you spend weeks doing incredibly stupid stuff like offering a massive package for OEL or $6 million for Barrie, and then have this fall into your lap as plan F? Benning really is Forrest Gump.

Just imagine how this impacts Tampa's return for their Dmen...

 

[MikeK]

Highway robbery. Benning must have been out of the office.

 

[CycloneSweep]

You guys just got a top pair defender for a future 3rd. He will be a great partner for Hughes.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Ok, I can breath a bit

 

[hellstick]

Feeling a bit better about us now

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

Awesome deal, well done Benning. I was a bit envious of Colorado getting Toews, but this deal is even better.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

 

[BB06]

Benning was playing Chess and we were all playing checkers

 

[THE Green Man]

How the hell do you spend weeks doing incredibly stupid stuff like offering a massive package for OEL or $6 million for Barrie, and then have this fall into your lap as plan F? Benning really is Forrest Gump.

I mean a broken clock is right twice a day but my god what a home run. I honestly feel like I need to shove my hatred deep down for a bit on Jimbo because this was actually incredible.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Ok wow. Did not expect this. Benning continues to make things interesting.

 

[ziploc]

Losing stecher hurts a lot more now

Really true. Guy would be a low cost anchor on the third pairing.

So they're not clearing the deck?

 

[Peter Griffin]

Was not expecting this, at all. Excellent move.

 

[CRDragon]

But the cap.........what's the situation like now?

 

[Tonystretcher]

Petey is gonna be scary when he comes to camp at 230 after training with Schmidt this offseason.

 

[MinJaBen]

Y’all better be looking for a new GM soon, because yours is going to jail for grand theft.

Wow, congratulations!

 

[WetcoastOrca]

This is awesome! I thought it was a fake Dreger post at first!
It’s way better than the rumoured OEL deal where we get saddled with an expensive cap hit for the long term.

 

[StreetHawk]

How much cap do we have to shed?

Think they are ok this season. It’s next season where someone like virtanen, Roussel, Beagle have to go.

 

[NoShowWilly]

I've got nothing. I don't think I could pull this in NHL easymode

 

[JiffyPB]

I am now a glass case of emotions.

GJ Benning. He actually pulled this off.

 

[mathonwy]

Hallelujah.

It's a Christmas miracle.

Lol.

 

[canucksfan]

But the cap.........what's the situation like now?

Have to shed some salary likely two million somehow.
