TOMapleLaughs Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 As much as people are reading into this as a Luongo value-raising development for a trade, i think it raises his value so much that we'll keep him and Schneider for awhile yet. Fleury is a 70game starter. A franchise guy. Did he look good in the playoffs? Nope. So they're spending $2mil on a backup. Will Schneider (or Luongo) look good after that many games? Probably not. So why not keep the Jennings pair together for a bit longer? Meh. We'll see. TOML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Luongo already asked for a trade and Schneids isn't going to sign here to be a backup or 1b goalie. Move Lu and get a quality backup to help Schneider to keep a solid tandem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gally Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Great news for us. I hope this means teams will be calling in about Luongo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningWild Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Holy pepperoni, where did this come from? LOL. The price for Lu just went through the roof. Give me Stamkos and Connolly (just joshin). But the price did just jump exponentially. Woot woot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABurrows14 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I loved the Pens before this (second fave team after the nucks) and now i Love them ever more! Thank you Pens for just upping the returns we will see for Lou, took out the 'supply' of experience and bidding tension that Toronto and maybe Tampa had... What you got now burkey? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Vokoun had permission to speak with other teams, and several were interested in more than one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttock Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Eddie Lack is 24 - and probably ready to give the backup role a shot - in two years from now he will be 26, have two years of exceptional backup work under his belt - will be Schneider's current age - and we'll have this sweet dilemma all over again p.s. Lack's .925 and .926 save % the last two years in the AHL are actually more consistent and impressive than Schneider's excellent performance before joining the Canucks...

kloubek Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 This is actually a very, very good contract deal for the Pens. 2 million for this guy? He should be paid double that. No, he didn't have a great season last year but it was accceptable, and his previous years have been in elite territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucksbiggestfan Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Come on, you really believe that? We don't know for sure one way or the other but it seems likely that he did ask for a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 It would be foolish to expect Lack to be ready for such a role. By all means, give him a shot, but here's how I look at it: Schneider has not yet appeared in more than 33 NHL games in a season. 33 is not many! In his first year as a starter he should be given perhaps 50-55 games - that means we will need a backup who can deliver solid goaltending for about 30 games - equal to the MOST games Schneider has ever played in an NHL season. We need a reliable, seasoned veteran backup. I think we should try to sign Scott Clemmensen if Florida does not re-sign him. If we can't do that, Brent Johnson provided great backup goaltending for the Penguins and looks to be on the way out with their acquisition of Vokoun.

Canuck or Die Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I hope Dwayne Roloson feels he has one year left. That way, if we trade either Schneider or Luongo, we can sign Roloson to a one year deal to back up the goalie we keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
