No Jake V?

I like Kahun

I can't be the only one who's not happy with Nate Schmidt on the Canucks, right?
He's a top 4 d-man the Canucks were looking to add, but this is isn't the kind of contract they should be adding either.

Nate’s a great player he’ll fit in great. You guys will love him. Bubbly personality, but I instantly thought wtf are they gonna do with Quinn, Demko and Elias’s contracts 😳

Idk I think he replaces Edler who should be done with the Canucks after this season. Really wish my Jets would have made this trade

He's exactly what you should be adding. It's much smarter to add him than an 8 mil oel

Happy to hear that he''l be a good fit with the team culture! But yeah, his contract is worrisome.

That's fair... Edler still plays like he's still got a few more season left, but Schmidt is an alternative I guess.
Central division is by far the tougher division in the West, so if the Jets make it into the playoffs the they'll be sure to can make a good run. Vezina caliber goaltending always helps.

Smarter or less dumb? OEL wasn't a smart option to begin with.

If he were a Ufa right now he probably gets 6*6.

He's a good top pairing or excellent second pairing defenseman who can play both sides signed for non star first pairing money.

He's better than Myers for example.

The problem with the Nucks cap is there one big mistake (Ericksson) and there numerous examples of way overpaying 3rd and fourth liners (Sutter, Roussel, Beagle and Baertschi.) Paying a 29 year old top 2-3 dman fairly isn't the issue.

I guess I don't see him as highly as others. If he is a legitimate top 2 d-man, I'm surprised VGK would let him go in favour for AP's hefty contract.

He's a 2-3 dman. A complementary top pairing dman or good second pairing. Just like Myers, Muzzin, whomever.

The Vegas move was dumb and they got themselves screwed as capspace is super expensive today when 2 weeks ago it was much cheaper (see Staal to Detroit)

But honestly Vegas will likely regret this. They had a good enough team for a cup but the bounces didn't go. So they convinced themselves they had to go big fish hunting instead of accepting sometimes it doesn't go your way.

They're over tinkering.

I just felt like Schmidt's numbers were inflated by playing for VGK. I'll be rooting for Schmidt nonetheless. Hopefully the Canucks and Golden Knights get what they envisioned next season.
