I actually agree that the Canucks got more than they deserved in trading Schneider to NJ. Schneider only had a couple of good season with the Canucks and to get early first round for him was a bit overpayment for him as far as I am concerned. As for not picking Nichuskin, i think the reasoning was they want to pick a player who they think will have a chance to suit up for the team next season. Nichuskin might be ready and talented than Horvat but the guy is under contract with the KHL. If the guy is not under contract with the KHL, I would think he would be one of the Top 5 pick.
Anyways I just can't wait for the season to see how much mess Gillis did for this team. He traded a goalie who's so excited to play goal for them and kept the guy who's overpaid and was resigned to play somewhere other than Vancouver in the next few season. I am not even sure Torts and Gillis ill co-exist so i am guessing once the Canucks goes into a funk this season, we will say bye-bye to Gillis.
