AlexanderEdler23 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Good on GM Stevie. He's looking like the real deal in Tampa. Looks like the tandem for them next year will be Lindback & Garon. It's sure better than Reimer & Gustavsson lolol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 There's still Bernier and Harding.. Luongo's market is getting smaller, MG needs to pull the trigger on a deal soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Schneider and Luongo are still the best goalies available by far. If teams wanna cheap out and gamble on unproven players, that's their choice. You gotta believe that at least one team will pay big for a more proven goaltender. Eddie Lack is probably as good as Lindback, and Lindback had Suter and Weber and a trap system in front of him, yet still had below average numbers.

canucks_dynasty Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 SY: Hey Mike. I got a good back up goalie for you and Wilson like you wanted. The deal for Luongo still good? MG: I wanted Colin not Kyle. SY: Oh for @#%@# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester@wraiths.ca Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Wow, 5 wins in 16 games played last year. He sure looks like he's coming along just fine. Schneider when he was 24 could still fetch more in a deal then Lindback just did. Do you know why? I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. White Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 AND WILSON. Potentially even a bigger part of this than Lindback. With Thompson locking up 3rd line, and Stamkos on 1st, it looks like Lecavalier could actually be on the way out... Or Wilson is about to be flipped again. Still Lindback is a legit goalie for a 1a/1b combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Schneider had 2 wins in his first 10 NHL games and a FAR worse goals against average. You're comparing Lindbak's play to Schneider NOW, not Schneider of several years ago when he clearly was not developed as he is now. Again, Schneider NOW has shown that he can win games for his team, he hadn't shown that a few years back. Personally I think Yzerman thinks Lindbak can be a #1 but won't be pushed into that role this year. I expect Lindbak to get a split of games, probably close to a 50/50 with another tender there as they let him develop into a #1, not rush him into it. Hasek could very well be the other goalie as it would be a perfect situation, to keep both goalies number of games reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester@wraiths.ca Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I meant Schneider's ability at the pro level which includes his time with the Moose. Even if it was a lower level, you could see his ability to take over games even when his team was playing like absolute crap in front of him. I just haven't seen the same thing with Lindback at either the AHL or NHL level. I just think there's a good chance he could be exposed with a much weaker D-core in Tampa.

UFCanuck Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 You have to also look at the fact that the year before he had a great winning record of 11-5-2 and though his wins took a hit this year, he lowered his GAA. In his 38 NHL games he's got around a 2.50GAA, sv% of .913, and is 16-13-2. Schneider's first 35 games produced a better winning percentage, but he played on a better team... I think Lindbak has very good potential, and we'll certainly see if he's capable in TB with a weaker defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Wow, looks like Yzerman is going for the Cup now. Good acquisitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvoLu7ioN Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Wow, TBH Tampa Bay will regret this down the road. Lindback is so overrated, plays in a pure defensive system in Nashville with 2 of the top 5 defensive D-men in the league logging big minutes infront of him. I for one am absolutely estatic a career backup was able to draw two second-round draft picks (37th and 50th overall) + a 3rd rounder. Bodes well for us, shows that the goalie market is quite strong for sellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Hockey Place Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I remember that game he had against VAN. He looked tougher to beat than Rinne. Garon had a 23-14 win-loss record last season. Holy crap Roloson's 42? Last active player born in the 60s. Did not know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester@wraiths.ca Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 That's a really dumb argument to use. I watched all of Schneiders starts and in his rookie season he was thrown to the wolves on 2nd of back to back's. He wasn't given any easy starts, in most games he stole the win for us. Against Edmonton at the end of the season 2010-2011 with the P.Trophy locked up. We just threw Schneider in the net, basically playing by himself.

Zoolander Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 That really hurts Lu's value...it is now between FLA and TOR. Let's get Franson!!!!... Or WEISS!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susraiders Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I'm a bit surprised by this deal. It seems that Tampa is no longer rebuilding as they gave up a lot of picks for a goaltender that hasn't been proven yet. That leaves me to wonder if they are open to trading one of their firsts.

Samuel Påhlsson Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I could see Yzerman going after Harding aswell. Make a 1 - 2 punch of Harding / Lindback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
