I loved Schneider and initially hated the trade, but once the Canucks began their downturn, that sour grapes (in the Aesop sense, not the dumb sports fan sense) definitely sold me on it. Having him wouldn't have helped a lick over the next 5 years and the Canucks are, it turns out, way better off right now.
THANKS GILLY

Canucks had 2 high priced goaltenders in Luongo and Schneider.
If I remember at the draft, Gillis said he need to keep the fans and shareholders happy...so they kept Luongo and traded Cory.

Just brutal for Schneider. He had such strong fundamentals in Vancouver and looked like a top 5 goalie in the making. Players in their prime don't fall off the wagon like that normally, unless there is some outside factory on his psychology.

Schneider was good for a number of years in NYJ before contract. Still was great trade and draft for Vancouver Gillis did well and started rebuild with this move.

Yeah, the Luongo/Schneider situation was a mess and filled with drama in the media.
When Luongo blabbed out 'my contract sucks', that sent a message to everyone that this is one hot mess.

That situation got seriously cocked up.

I wonder wtf happened behind the scenes.

Luongo wanted out probably by that time, I'm sure he was getting mixed signals from management at the time there was activity to be traded.
I wonder what the overall trade situation is now between us and florida in the last ~6 years
