Confirmed Buy-Out [NJD] Cory Schneider bought out by the Devils

[devils29]

not as bad as paying 6 mil for him to put up a .800 save percentage in the AHL

As a devils fan and a gambler, this was awesome for me. Helped us lose for a better pick and it was free money to bet the over with him in net

 

[Forge]

On the bright side for Cory, he 100% has a future in tv as a studio analyst

 

[BCNate]

That cap hit is going to hurt.

What a year for buy-outs and RFA walk aways. Money is tight across the whe league.

I think you are going to see a ton of 1 and 2 year deals on very favorable contracts tomorrow. Lots of talent out there, but nobody has any money.

for the first 10 games of the season I was HAMMERING overs on games where Cory started.

Its actually unbelievable when you look at the Devils season from the start.

They went with a goalie who they knew couldn't play anymore and a head coach who clearly did not have the respect of the guys in the locker room... yet the GM was ok with it.

Ray Shero should never NEVER have an NHL job again, atleast not as a GM. His loyalty kills him. I mean the guy almost single handedly sabotaged the devils season.

The average fan was well aware that Hynes is a shit coach (confirmed by 5 shitty years in NJ and whatever the f*** he tried to do in Nashville) and Cory is a shittier goalie. to go into a season with those 2 and think things would work out is borderline insane.

Ya but great for our wallets so i was okay with it lol

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Subban for neal and russell?

 

[Curufinwe]

Schneider was great till he got hurt.

 

[kanucks25]

Great goalie in his prime and seemingly an even better guy.

Unfortunate what happened to his career with the injuries.

 

[crashthenet]

Schneider was great till he got hurt.

He really was good. Would have liked to see him pull through.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I think this is the end of the road for him. If not I see a professional tryout or is signed on as a cheap back-up.

 

[Eggtimer]

$2 million over the next 4 years. They were just better off letting him finish out the last two years. Not like the Devils are doing anything anyway.

He is not even back up caliber anymore or the Devils would have just let him play out his contract.....30 teams essentially "are not doing anything" and that comment is garbage. So if not a slam dunk cup favorite the Devils should just give up ?


Love Schneider as a person and was a top 5 goalie for a couple years , but his NHL career is over.

 

[Eggtimer]

Man what a waste of cap space. I know it saves the owners money but sucks as a fan

I dont think purely a $$ savings was the reason. We just could not have him starting or backing up any more NHL games. He is done.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

This gotta be a record, right?

I mean there's been an absurd amount of buyouts.

 

[viper0220]

I heard that he has is good at being a TV analyst, is this true.

 

[Eggtimer]

Subban for Russel and Neal?? Um no .
On topic (somewhat) what do Devils do for a backup ?
This makes room for Gaudreau now lol

 

[VoidCreature]

Had to be done. If you play him 25 games he’ll win 2 of them.

Devils owe it to the fans not to just punt that many games again.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Injuries are a bastard.

A sad, but necessary move for the Devils.

 

[Perennial]

Remember when people were critical of Vancouver for trading Schneider to New Jersey for the #9 pick?

 

[LV Knight Life]

Hopefully he did enough the last four games of the year (3-0-1, 1.50 GAA, .952%) to get a look somewhere. One of the good guys in hockey.

he isn't an NHL caliber player anymore

has nothing to do with cap space

I mean, Schneider was an elite goalie for his first few years in NJ

 

[devils29]

I never said it did, i said it has to do with real money. They aren’t buying him out to go after some big FA. It’s to save the owners money. We lose cap space with this

 

[Timmer44]

He was good. How come they couldn't make it to the playoffs in those seasons? Especially the Jagr season.

go and take a look at the rest of the roster in his first 2-3 years in NJ and you will have your answer.

no, again...its to get a capable NHLer as a backup goalie. Cory Schneider is not a capable NHL backup goalie.

they don't need to save money. They have like $25 million in cap space.
