Ppl will disagree with me but Tanev is better and fits us better.
I'd still like Benning to find a long term Tanev replacement. IMO, Schmidt is the perfect Edler replacement long term.

I think we still get one of Vatanen, Haminic or Gustafson.This does help Vancouver with 5v5 offense he pushes the pace.
Schmidt does give back a bit 5v5 in his own zone.though but not that much
He is a right shot which Vancouver doesnt have any of
its a respectable trade from their stand point
He is better than Tanev
But keeping stecher and making this trade would have been amazing for Vancouver for their defense core.
This is bs. He isn’t one dimensional, he is very good at defending and is also good at moving the puck and his offense is underrated. He has a sneaky good wrist shot.
Average skater... what are you talking about? He isn’t an elite skater like he was a couple years ago but is still above average. Schmidt is a little better offensively but not as good at defending. Tanev is slightly better.
Tanev is a one dimensional, injury prone defenceman that is an average skater. He is not even in the realm of Schmidt when it comes to all-around game.

This is the worst take I've seen in some time...Stecher is better, younger, and cheaper than Schmidt. Benning messed up again lmao
Umm what? We lost Markstrom, Tanev, Toffoli, Stecher and got Holtby and Schmidt. How has he shut anyone up when we are a much worse team.Benning is quietly shutting up many of his critics. He still has a few moves to make this offseason as well.

Well consider that at a bare minimum they watched a 7 game series a month ago....I love it when posters are suddenly an authority on a player they have only watch 10-15 times because he's now a member of their team. I guarantee you know very little about Schmidt relative to Tanev, so any comparison is lopsided and inaccurate.
Thanks for the replies.
Yeah Canuck fans should be very familiar with Schmidt after the playoffs. He was a beast in that series.Schmidt is a right-side defenceman. He isn't a Tanev replacement, he's a MASSIVE upgrade on the right side.
Yeah I know the injuries issue, when I googled his injuries when we traded for him it listed some and said like 70 something more lines, I just about hit the fetal position.
I think to be fair he helped Hughes out a lot too. Hughes definitely improved Tanev’s offensive numbers though.Tanev had a good year last season by playing mostly with Hughes.

lmao, you are actually arguing that Tanev is better than the top 2 defenceman on a Stanley Cup contending team?
jfc, welcome to my ignore list.
Based on what lol? If your position is that Schmidt is better that is one thing. But massive upgrade is ridiculous.I'd say Schmidt a massive upgrade on Tanev at this point in their careers.
Stecher is better, younger, and cheaper than Schmidt. Benning messed up again lmao
Do you realize how much of an upgrade Schmidt is over Tanev?Umm what? We lost Markstrom, Tanev, Toffoli, Stecher and got Holtby and Schmidt. How has he shut anyone up when we are a much worse team.
