He's performed as a top line winger by the analytics, but doesn't have a big track record as he is a late bloomer.

He produced 2nd line numbers the year before as well. Kid is good.

Interesting, from the guy who broke the trade.

Vancouver goalie Braden Holtby was discussed as part of the trade package in the blockbuster deal between the Coyotes and Canucks. As I have said before teams are interested in Yotes Goalie Darcy Kuemper - mainly Colorado. So makes some sense Holtby's name came up.

I'm sure all the names that Benning wants to get rid of were brought up, including Luongo.

You dummies out there listening? 😂

To Sid Six about hockey?

"you think you might want the sedins? ...yeah, they're always looking over my shoulder and stuff. i think i saw one of them measuring my office with an interior decorator."

In my mind if you can't move Schmidt for a decent return or can't move Holtby without giving up an asset or retaining, you just buyout Holtby.

I still think Schmidt is much better than he looked last year. I only move him if you are getting back a cheaper top 4 RHD.

Sounds like Schmidt wants to move on.

The really odd trade was Buch

One blockbuster lit up the hits here 😂

Agreed, they REALLY under sold on Buch.

That's a lot of cap for Seth Jones.

I'll bet he doesn't play out his entire term (mark it down Mini, we'll check back in 2030 or so), which is fine.

I wonder if Chi fans are crying that they 'signed a guy they are already planning to buy out'

Its like TDL years ago.
Lots to digest here.

Yeah I've heard the rumours as well. At the end of the day though it's not his choice.

Was it 2 firsts or just 1?

Shitty deal.

The Canucks just distracted everyone from that dumb deal.

We still did fine imo

It's a shame Benning didn't trade him earlier now any GM interested in Schmidt knows that Benning is in a cap bind and the offers are going to drop.

Damn bud sorry to hear. Hope it works out.

Jim Benning on OEL: He's a smart two way player. He's a guy that can carry the puck up the ice. He's got a great shot from the blue line. He's competitive in his own end. We're excited to get him because he plays against the best players in the league. #Canucks

Sorry to hear that. Ontario is bad too, biggest fire in Canada was/is there.

i'd be ok with keeping Schmiddy and dealing Holtby instead, where there is apparently some demand.
