BenDrinkin Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 We had Luongo, this offer isn't crazy at all. Schneids only starting really kicking ass in the NHL last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
250Integra Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hindsight. For those calling out Nonis, you guys are idiots. Our core is pretty much comprised of Draft picks or signings he made to keep the team together, and of course the Luongo trade. Schneider was looking like a bust in his first few years, and not only that, people in Vancouver LOVED Gilbert Brule and was regarded as one of the top junior players. Brule was rushed into the NHL too quickly, and unfortunately suffered an injury right off the bat which hindered his development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Brule probably would of developed better in Vancouver versus Columbus, the same could not be said for Schneider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 People are saying this would have been terrible, but fail to recognize WHY Schneider turned out the way he did and Brule the way he did. Doug MacLean ruined Brule's career by throwing him to the wolves as an 18 year old. While Schneider developed properly in the minors for 5 years and then as a backup under Luongo for 2 years. If Schneider ended up in CBJ it's likely that Schneider would have been a bust because he would have been rushed and Brule a star because he would have been developed properly like Kesler, Burrow, Edler, Schneider etc etc...;.; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thad Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 that woulda sucked lol... understandable move though, we had luongo in his prime. would have made sense to flip the kid for a young forward prospect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Easy, guy. He's 26 years old. Coming off a respectable 33-game showing in Phoenix (14 points, +7) and two years removed from scoring 17 goals and 37 points in 65 games as an Oiler. IMO, he's still an NHL player with a decent amount of upside potential. Wonder where he'll end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB007 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 hope he can pull off a horrible trade that brings us tons of assets for the nucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAce Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Excellent post. Dave Nonis saved this franchise - and lost his job - by not buckling under the pressure of the Aquilini's to acquire Brad Richards and make a run for the playoffs in 2007-08. That would've reportedly cost us Kesler, Edler, and Schneider. Also correcr about Brule/Schneider - amazing what the role of luck plays in sports/life. Hard to think that Columbus is just so woeful at choosing their players; there's gotta be something inherent in that system that just stunts development. Brule was a high probability pick. Filatov's talent is incredible - another guy that was thought-of as high probability. Derick Brassard. Steve Mason. All of these disappointing young players makes me think that there's a systemic issue. Brule's career trajectory probably would be far different today had he been drafted by the Canucks.

7thMan Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Maybe if we he had Brule instead of Columbus he could have had time to properly develop into the player he could have been. Remember way back in 2005? He was tearing it up with the Giants. I would have probably made that trade, too, if I was Nonis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 In a parallel universe, if this had happened, perhaps Bono woulda' been picked up hitchin' by Schneids, only to be thoroughly entertained by his witty impersonations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 This looks pretty bad because now you look at it and Schneider is #1 Goalie and Brule has trouble staying in the league. But who knows, if we had made this trade might no have turned out as bad, maybe we wouldn't have rushed him and he would have become the player he was supposed to be. The funny thing is everyone probably would have praised him if the deal was made too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stexx Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 at the time with the luongo trade fresh on the books, i would have been very happy to have brule in our system. Goes to show hindsight is truly 20/20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Doug MacLean on Hockeycentral today said he got a call from Dave Nonis back when Nonis took over the GM role with the Canucks and Dave offered Schneider straight up for Brule. How different would our organization look of that had happened eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
