While you make decent points around VGK circumstances and what Keith fetched, you ignored some others. Namely flat cap, Schmidt value at an all time low with a hefty contract, Holland is an idiot and Canucks don’t have a ton of leverage given the trade request and confirmation from the team.
That’s not to say Schmidt isn’t a good player and could still be useful. I personally think his situation was probably one of the most impacted by Covid and the trade from Vegas and he’ll bounce back pretty strong. But it’s a huge risk from other teams and they’ll be buying low so you likely won’t get any high picks or high end prospects coming back.
