Hurry someone tell me how I should feel about this trade!
Schmidt was a 3rd round pick. Samson was a 6th round pick. Both are 22 RHD
So AHL hockey trade
I imagine these guys trade places on the same spot in the org depth chart. It sounds like before Carlile and Santini got sent back, Syracuse was dealing with some depth issues at the position and it sounds like Schmidt wasn’t doing a whole lot in Syracuse beyond fighting so they probably just needed another guy down there who could play competent hockey.
But Scmidt is an absolute behemoth. He does have penalty issues. But he could skate. Very big, physical and can fight. I really liked him in preseason.
I liked Roman he was a tough mf
so trade won’t affect my collection of personalized jerseys?
Lightning had one physical defenseman in their prospects. Horseshit.
