Schneider is back?

[JaysFan]

Had his best game in a loooong time, think he's worth picking up over Howard?

[Hockeykid16]

I would wait a bit, it’s only been 1 start

[ericdaoust]

Umm no, Howard's been solid this year.

Lets just say, it was nice to see Schneider play the way many of us believe he's still capable of. He needed it and so did the Devils.

[lucafen4]

a step in the right direction.

And he still lost

I understand having some optimism with Schneider but you can't take him over a current NHL starter who is playing well.

With great regret, I dropped Blackwood for Schneider. The organization has been pretty clear that unless they are crashing and burning or anoher goalie is injured, its going to be Schneider & Kinkaid.

I wouldn't drop another NHL starter for him this quickly, but I'd drop someone for him if you want to beat the rush that will come with another solid start. (NJ plays B2B this wknd, fyi)

If it's a keeper league and you're thinking of next year (and price isnt to steep) then yes.
Starters can be hard to come by yearly.
A healthy Hall next year and maybe some upgrades in other positions can make Schneider valuable to start next season.

I dropped Howard for Schneider this morning - feeling good about it, let's see what happens.

My issue is the lineup playing in front of him for the next weeks, with Palmieri out it doesn’t look great

[ericdaoust]

Palmieri, Bratt and Quenneville were all injured in their last game. Palmieri/Bratt are confirmed to be out long-term.

Where did you read that Bratt is confirmed to be out long term?

My bad. It's Myles Wood out long-term.
