Schneider to be waived

[audiopile]

Wowowow. Just an absolute cliff dive. I know injuries didn't help but still.

How's Bo doing in Vancouver???

Bo is struggling as well, to score that is. Incredible on the dot though.

Those injuries really took their toll on Schneider. Too bad, he got off to a late start as a starter, being blocked by Luongo in Vancouver. Hope he can find a team that will give him a chance.

He looked so good at the end of last season. Posted a .921sv% over 17 games after coming back in February. I had drafted him in the late rounds thinking New Jersey was going to surprise this year

looks like the surprise is all mine.

FULLY sharing your surprise Hoopo.

I saw the same thing, and his struggles early this year seemed more reflective of the NJ team struggles as a whole than his alone. Last year's end, WHC & pre-season, plus Lu's comments around timeline for "fully" healing from that surgery... and I was buying. Literally - I even targeted him in a trade early in the year.

Still struggle to think he's done - shades of Fleury, Rinne and even Luongo being prematurely written off - but admittedly maybe that's my ego not being ready to admit I missed the mark on this.

I guess no big redemption season after all...

Not in the Swamp anyway. Maybe someone will take a flyer on him...AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, probably not.

33 year-old goalie with four consecutive dumpster-tier seasons and a history of not being able to stay healthy. It basically is that.

Soooo, not even famed goalie killer bondon thinks Schneider is redeemable. Point, set, match.

Now that you mention it, maybe as a backup someone tried to catch lightning in a bottle and re-ignite the flame that is Schneider's career. It just seems like he and the NHL are like oil and water these days. He's like a minnow swimming with sharks. OK I'll stop now.

Columbus Blue Jackets!

So happy to have snagged Blackwood late in our prospect draft. ROY candidate?

He has a long way to go to be a ROY candidate.

[bondon]

Blackwood could be the third candidate but unless he improves that .904 sv% he isn't beating Makar. Or Q Hughes for that matter. Those two are primed for big seasons.

He's in the mix to be a finalist if he plays a whole year as a starter and plays a bit better than he is right now, and Jersey improves.

Sadly, I have an offer out in a league where Domingue was my stealth target, and I bet it's rejected/countered now. I figured that deal meant Schneider's days were numbered.

I think he may choose to report to Binghamton, which isn't that far away, and see if he can get things right, or give it one last try before calling it a career.

And apparently Jack Hughes still lives with him and his family!

If he's bought out this off-season he will count $2M against the cap for 4 years (opposed to $6M for 2.)

Jack Hughes rent is going up!!

what type of surgery , if any ...has Schneider had on his hips ? Some goalies are never the same after that surgery (DiPietro) while others rebounded nicely after extensive rehab (Rinne)

it was more than just his hips with Dipietro , I know and probably more than just Schneiders hips (groin problems too)
