As for the 3rd round pick: Try to put it in prospective who would the Flames have to trade even up for Schmidt?
The only Player that would be of greater value would be Tkachuk and he is getting a QO of 9 M in 2 years.
Monahan?
Gaudreau?
Lindholm?
The Flames have no defenseman that would be tradeable even up for Schmidt. Maybe Valimaki but then that would mean that the Flames signed Tanev as a #5 guy.
This is pretty close to the best use of Cap space in the history of cap space that the Canucks were able to take advantage of.
The GMs that sat on their cap space and didn't offer a second or 2 thirds should be fired.

You are totally ignoring the fact the guy had a NTC and a bunch of teams literally couldn't trade for him. Those GMs should be fired because they were on his no trade list?
