Holtby is our best “get”....Motte is our best “keep”
- SlightlyOffside


ugh.
fine.

Motte is our best off season signing, imo.
Holtby is right behind him.
which is pretty laughable.

Great article on how the Canucks really made the cap work for them.

Two key points of context for me at this moment in time:

1) A season and a half ago, how many of us would have viewed Marky as indispensable and/or worth 6x6? Things can change quickly and in Ian Clark we trust.

2) Look at the step the young guys took after an additional two months of training before the bubble. There is still significant latent value in the core (and in the younger guys in the system). Internal team growth is real and the team should focus on adding the right player as opposed to adding whichever player is available.

Nothing we don’t already know. Also a small error it cost us 1 pick. A 4th added if Toffoli was to resign.

Ricky D says Canucks have inquired about Schmidt and Weegar

LeBrun says Vegas is reluctant to trade Schmidt to the Canucks


I’d bet Vegas will use the Canucks as leverage

Only a sad day for you, my friend. The Canucks will continue to exist and I had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend.

Homemade pom-poms are more meaningful.

He’s a top 2 D but I agree

They’ll leverage Benning’s offer against other teams

Its okay the musical chairs won't stop there they'll find their fit. I'm still in favor of RSD and Cernak shopping could be the way to go.

Benning has to be kinda desperate right now... might make an offer other teams won’t beat.

I don’t understand a word you just said but I hope you convinced yourself that all that is true...could do with a little more positivity and common sense around here

Nate Schmidt to VAN for a 3rd.

As someone who HATES trading draft picks, this is actually a very good move. Let's see how much he comes in at

He is a decent defenseman, but is 29 and signed for 5 more years at 6 million.
The cost to acquire him versus a younger defenseman need to be weighed, whether it be a Cernak/Sergachev/Carlo or take a chance with a player like Bowey.
I don't believe 1 defenseman is going to fix this team, so let's carry-on with the rebuild

Some folks seem to think he is a number one Dman. I don’t know. Skates great
