Thread: Schmidt trade that makes sense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Juiceman</b></div><div>I agree. I’m just saying that Schmidt isn’t worth negative value like people think he is.</div></div>

The OP sets up a false equivalency here by blithely stating "Konecny has more value than Schmidt." That's like saying Connor McDavid has more value than William Karlsson. The proper comparison is Gostisbehere to Schmidt. Gostisbehere, at two years for a cap hit of $4.5 million ($6.5 million actual cash), is worth a LOT more to Vancouver than Schmidt, who costs $5.95 million for four years ($20.8 million real money). Note that Gostisbehere has always been superior offensively to Schmidt, who is by far the better defender. So considering him as "negative value" is false. <a href="/users/justaBoss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@justaBoss</a> is right -- take out Konecny entirely and you have a fairer deal because Patrick still has upside -- Juolevi has none.
