Nah a 3rd isn't enough to take Schmidt's contract, wings pass

Schmidt just makes our LHD pool even more clogged; makes it harder for Wallinder/Johansson to make the team and grow.

Winnipeg doesn't even look at the first 2 and Detroit doesn't consider the last one.

You are overvaluing what these two guys are going to get on the market. Especially PLD. Hart, Gibson, Andersen, Gustavsson, and Helle are all in the market rn, it's pretty saturated.

Detroit has less than zero interest in, or use for, Schmidt. Look elsewhere.

Los Angeles wouldn't pay that price for one season of Hellebuyck even if it were physically (i.e., mathematically) possible. Anyone who thinks that Hellebuyck is going to get a first-round draft pick, a top-6 RW, a second and two fourths is going to be sorely disappointed if he actually does get traded. I'll bet that he doesn't get the Horvat return. Jack Eichel had FIVE years left on his deal and he got the first three elements and an A prospect instead of the two fourths.
