canucksnihilist Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 GMs get stupid around July 1st. We don't want picks, we want an impact player - sedin timeline is the principle right now. There will be suckers lined up offering an impact player for Lu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bd71 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Do you think Schneider will go for a contract like 5 million for 2?? I'd be shocked and the PA would probably give him a heck of a time for taking so little. To me this is his time to pick where he wants to play and how much he wants to play for. I'm not sure he's going to be content to split with Luongo or take low money. My guess is he could get a 4 million dollar deal at least if not more. Don't forget, he has been chosen as the guy here for the playoff run. Same thing happened in Montreal two seasons ago and the Blues gave Halak just shy of $4 million a season for four years. Will Schneider really get less than Halak after this playoff run if he does get them out of the first round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soshified Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Imagine if somehow, in the end, Canucks dont have both of them. Luongo traded, and Schneider wont accept the terms. Then, we're fcked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surtur Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Lets get one thing straight, the only reason we have won back to back presidents trophy was because of Luongo and Schneider even when the defense has played horrible all season. The reason we went to the finals last year was because of Lu and Schneider. The reason that we can probably comeback and win this series would be again because of Luongo and Schneider. I'd rather have 8 million locked up on goalies than pay 4.2 million for Ballard to ride the bench and start once in a while. In fact, we get rid of Raymond and Malhotra and it opens up 5 million right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradinToSmyl Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 OK so what if during the off-season, Columbus won't give us their 1st or TB doesn't want to give up Hedman, NJ wouldn't give us Larsson and NYI doesn't give us Neiderietter . Cory's value should hover at around 3.5M this off-season. Other GM's out there know that we want to move a goalie and that could hinder our leverage getting a fair return. Would it be a good idea to keep both goalies? Think about it. If we keep Cory and keep the team rather un-changed for next season, we would be making a statement saying "If you want a star you'll have to give up a star, we're not an organization you can screw over. Not only that, but we'd still be able to say "Were the presidents trophy winners for 2 straight years, we like where we are and you need our guys more than we need yours. Now remember that we only WANT to move a goalie but we don't NEED to. Other teams NEED Cory so why not let the market boil over by not trading with us, other teams only hurt themselves and while we'd be hurting too having 8M locked up in goalies, we're still going to be a power house so there isn't much pressure to move our assets as compared to other teams. We can then stand pat and just wait for one of the above teams to just start failing and eventually realise "OK we need a shake up and our goal tending has been too weak. Then finally get the trade we want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nucklehead53 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I think if we keep the two goaltenders, there are some fairly good advantages on the 8+ mill. spent 1) If one goalie is having a bad game/stretch, you can replace him and come up with good results 2) The goalies can thrive when they are not the only one tending the net, (physical/mental ease) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 There is no point in keeping both of them. The return for either one would be significant and it would set the team up long term. We would get a real good young forward and a high pick for either of our goalies. Luongo is worth quite a bit. Ppl think it would be a salary dump and no one wants his contract. In reality Luongo's contract is a $5.3 mil cap hit for 6 more years after which he will retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirteen Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Watch MG keep both. Like Luongo would waive to go to Tampa Bay or a Florida team that doesn't look as good as Vancouver. If Schneider likes winning he will stay and why do people think he would give up 3M we can afford him at to go play 60 games and be pressured on a crap team... Both will stay and who cares about this now? For all we know Canucks come back and we roll with two goalies with a long run... Say they go onto win who is to say Luo/Cory don't want one more year to fight it out and win another. It's about the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dura_mater Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 kmotamed said about 10 mil you idiot. Learn to read properly. "The reason that we can probably comeback and win this series would be again because of Luongo and Schneider" Are you retarded? The reason that we can probably come back and win this is because of SCHNEIDER, and ONLY SCHNEIDER do you understand that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotdawg Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 How is it that all of you have S's value pegged at 3 mil.? I'sn't that a bit low? I mean compared to the other overpaid spoiled brat's in the League? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngNMGN99 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Keep both and we make another run at the cup next year! Deal Raymond, Ballard (perhaps). 1 top six forward and we're set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wai_lai416 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Nope we need to move Lu. Keep the #1 goalie Mr. ginger face and have a bright future. If we keep Lu our future looks bleak at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topbananas Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Cory Schneider has stated he doesn't appreciate the term Ginger. Unless you're purposely trying to flame him please show some respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
