marty344 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 When i first heard that the Canucks no. 2 goalie, Corey Scnheider got traded to the NJ Devils i couldn't believe it. I thought he had some amazing games during the season when he played. Okay so he didn't have the best series against San Jose in the playoffs, but he was dealt a pretty bad hand to be thrown into the deepend with Luongo getting injured just before the start of the playoffs. Keep in mind it was Scneidder who help defeat what would become the World Champions, the Chicago Blackhawks. Does anyone else see the trading of Schneider as a bad move? What if Luongo gets injured again this season, especially close to or during the playoffs, then theyre up the proverbial creek without a paddle. Wouldn't it have made more sense to trade Luongo, or at least make Schneider no. 1 and start looking to the future and building the team around a young up and coming goalie. I predict NJ will have a very good season and make it to the finals due in no small part to Schneider. What does everyone else think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Nobody wanted Luongos contract. One of them had to go it was Schneider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Did you just say NJD will make the finals and have a very good season? Schnider wont carry them to the cup. Do you remember Kovalchuk went to Russia, whos going to make up for that offence?? Jagr? Martys still #1 therefore CS is a backup for Marty.

marty344 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 How many more years can Luongo play before he gives it up? I take it goalies tend to have more lenghty careers then the other players as they have less chance of injuries such as concussions. But even if this season and the seasons to come he plays briliantly and stay injury free, what happens when they do retire. I would have thought Schneider would have been the perfect goalie to replace him, but now its going to have to be a young goalie with very little in game experience.

Drouin Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Not good to have two elite goalies. 10M between the 2 wasn't good. MG did the smart thing and traded away Schneider who allowed us to acquire a better return than we would've got for Luongo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Schneider should have gotten this team a top-6 forward or top-4 defenceman, prospect and a pick. Instead we get a single first rounder. I was always for trading one of our goalies, as long as the return was reasonable. 9th overall would have been reasonable for Luongo, not Schneider.

WillyFox Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Of course it was a bad move, Gillis tied his hands though buy constantly lying about the intereste in Lou. In about 10 years or so people will look back at this trade as a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyril Sneer Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Schneider is the better goalie today, anyone who says otherwise is locked in a Luongo love box. That being said, I had absolutely no problem trading Schneider but I do have a problem with what we got in return. We basically blew 2 seasons with all this goalie crap and indured the 3C gong show so we could aquire 9th overall!!! AND WE STILL DON'T HAVE A 3C!!!!! disgusting Poke my eyes out I have seen enough.
