A very solid #3 that can play as a 2 imo

I’d say he’s a legit #2 dman

Wow great deal, factor in the Toffoli cost and it's still a great deal.

He's a top pairing tweener but upgrade on Tanev and Myers.

Wonder how they fit him in.

Schmidt has surpassed Motte as our best off season signing.

Yeah, he plays both sides and plays both sides well. Canucks have 2 of them best skating dmen in the league now. Crazy
- Nucker101


Maybe...
Hughes, Schmidt
Edler, Rafferty/Benn
Olli, Myers
Benn (Tree in the Spring?)

Looks much better than an hour ago

Do you still have to call the Dr if your 4hr boner wasn’t caused by Viagra? Asking 3.5hrs in advance...

Epic. Love the drama. JB even does his slam dunks with style now

During the playoffs, Schmidt did am few interviews and I remember thinking “man, that’s a guy you want on your team”

And here we are.

He’s a great leader / locker room guy too

"Nate has been one of the top defencemen in our division in recent years," Jim Benning, general manager of the Canucks, said in a press release. "He's a dynamic player who competes hard all over the ice. I think he will be a really good fit in our group."

Baffling that they traded him in division.
I guess the price tag for Schmidt had others weary.

I suppose this answers the question of who was going to make a deal with VGK to offset their cap problems.

Absorbing the cap hit & he had a MNMC

What he really wanted to say:

“(frank) you Arizona”
“(frank) you haters”
“(frank) you Barrie”
“Thank you Vegas and Petro”

I’m pretty sure the majority of the fanbase loves this trade. If you look hard enough you’ll find people complaining about anything. It’s not healthy reading that poop daily lol

For the Canucks, he becomes our #1 defenseman, surpassing Edler.

Even for people unfamiliar with Schmidt. When Oilers/Flames fans are in shambles, you know it was a good move.

Team would’ve looked great if they traded JV and fit in Schmidt/Toffoli by dumping Sutter or Roussel on someone.
