smurf47 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 If nothing else...I doubt you will ever see MG offer a contract like Lous again... not many long term contracts have worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get real canuck fans Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 they we would have to pay the other team upfront, with the rest of Lu's 9 years salary, which then will screw our cap over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt kilgore Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 You have made a fairly massive mistake in logic... People have made the statement: "Schneider is unproven" That is an objective fact, it is true and not arguable. If you want to argue it, you need to go look up the definition of "proof" because you are simply wrong. You are suggesting by saying the above, people are actually meaning: "Schneider should never get a chance to prove himself" .... that simply isn't true and is something you invented to try to bolster your weak argument. Even the people who think we should keep Luongo are saying that Schneider should be getting a chance to be a starter in the NHL next season. I know Schneider is unproven because it is an actual fact. He has never been a #1 goalie, he has never won a playoff series in the NHL (he has a grand total of 1 playoff win in his career), he has never played 60 games in a season in the NHL as a starter would. At the same time as acknowledging the above facts, I believe that we should accept the risks of going with a non-proven guy and go with Scheider next year for reasons I outlined before. He will be cheaper and has lots of upside. Those things, to me, make up for the risk of going with someone who is not a proven commodity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmpunk Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 If Schnieds stays, just count down the days before he is ripped. Its inevitable and a lot of these fans will be in for an eye opener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebreh Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 No, I am just saying that we don't know how Schneider will perform if he's in Luongo's shoe. I want them both to stay since goaltending is NOT the issue this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beer&meat Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I think he's based on the fact that he choked against Boston and Chicago last season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beer&meat Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Actually we do, we've seen it in the AHL, he was one of the best goaltenders in his time there. He's done nothing but win for us in the regular season when called upon. Sometimes coming in cold not playing for 5-10 games. They're not both going to be back next year, its either Luongo or CS. MG has done a good job re-signing players at a discount, but i dont think CS will sign anything less than 3m next year. MG's legacy as a GM of this franchise will depend on what he do with the goaltenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjolsen Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 How do you figure he "choked" especially against Boston? 8 goals in 7 games? that doesn't win you a series. Luongo is the ONLY reason that series even went to game 7. Figure it out 8 goals in 7 games...thats 3 shutouts (he had 2) and one - 1 goal game in order to win that series. Your expectations are WAY! out to lunch. Don't give me the crap about him letting in 6-8 goals because a loss is a loss no matter how many you lose by, and if you're not scoring you're not winning.

Jester@wraiths.ca Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I think a major lack of comprehension is in play. Just because someone says "Schneider is unproven" doesn't mean he doesn't deserve a chance to prove himself, and that the gamble to see if he can wouldn't be worth it. But it IS a gamble (CBJ lost the gamble on Mason, Nashville won the gamble on Rinne, ya folllow?). I'm not against taking the gamble on Schneider at all, i'm against those that say he's proven when he isn't yet. But if anybody deserves the chance, it's Schneider.

beer&meat Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I don't think it's a matter of throwing Luongo under the bus. There's a few people who will do that regardless, but the majority of us are just discussing who is more likely to stay. Myself, I think Shchneider stays. as economically it makes more sense. He gives us just as good a chance to win (granted based on a smaller sample size) for less money, and is younger. For Luongo a move to, let's say Tampa Bay (for argument's sake), who are only a goaltender away from being a contender, could be a fresh start. It's in an area he likes, near his wife's family, and with him in goal they'd be contenders. Canucks won't get the same return as they would from Schneider, but the cap relief and off-loading a long contract has a great amount of value, economically to the Canucks organization. That's hardly throwing him under the bus. Remember it is a business after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
