I’m a little surprised by this. I guess it’s insurance on a back up if Sorokin needs to adjust?

will Schneider be ok with playing in Bridgeport?

 

[Tres Peleches]

Unless they’re planning on moving Varlamov, I can’t imagine it’s for anything more than league minimum... an AHL signi NV

 

[PK Cronin]

As long as it's for $1M or less, I'm cool with it. Allows the team to expose him for the expansion draft.

 

[SI90]

Someone brought up a good point if it is a 2 year deal it allows us to fulfill the expansion draft requirement of exposing a 1 goalie. Sorokin is exempt and we’re obviously going to protect Varly

 

[doublechili]

Lou likes his guys.

 

[Lame Lambert]

Have to think it’s 2 way or we’re going to deal Varlamov

If that is the plan, it is horrible. Corey Schneider is beyond done. He couldnt even play for the Devils. We are going to deal a goalie who took us to the conference finals to go with a tandem of a guy who never played a game in the NHL and washed up guy who has nothing left? Yikes.

Yeah, in other words they either don't have enough confidence in Sorokin, or they have a tremendous amount of confidence in him.

My guess is Schneider is a future coach in training at this point, so why not learn from Korn?

 

[SI90]

Don’t know if this means much but Bridgeport is a 3 hour drive from where Schneider is from.

only way we deal Varly is if Sorokin is lights out and ready to be a #1 in the NHL. We haven’t had a chance to test that. Plus, Schneider really isn’t good anymore. He’s fine for the AHL or as a 3rd goalie. But if he’s seeing as significant NHL playing time Thats not good for us.

We need a goalie for the minors anyway because Skarek is the only one left. Stop panicking about trading Varlamov when nothing has happened yet.

Two way doesn't matter, just has to be $1M or less and we're fine.

 

[PWJunior]

We needed a goalie to expose in the ED and here he is. Pretty f***ing simple.

Lou is gonna Lou.

I'll say this - I really disliked Cory Schneider - his grenade handling, terrible rebound control, inability to read plays, inability to stop a beach ball in the shootout.... and I was one of his most vocal critics dating back to when he platooned with Marty.

All of this said.... His positioning and ability to stop the first shot is fantastic, and most of his troubles came because our porous defense made him turn himself inside out and bust his hip. We had the worst team defense in the league for a few years there.

*IF* he is healthy ... he could put up a very good year - the way Greiss went from trash behind Weight's team to a co-Jennings type guy.

But you better be praying they don't move Varly.

Lou would only move Varly if he talked Brodeur out of retirement.

100%.

Schneider has to be aware of our goalie situation. He should have no reason to expect anything more than backing up Jakub Skarek in Bridgeport.

Who would take Varlamov’s contract?

 

[IslesNorway]

Must be a 2 year deal for him to be exposed in the expansion draft. Sounds totally stupid to pick up the likes of him

 

[Lame Lambert]

Who would take Varlamov’s contract?

No clue. Just going off of the rumors that we may move him.

We're all hoping he's just going to the minors to play. Not interested in him for anything more.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Corey Schneider, come get the Calder Cup!

 

[IslesNorway]

Corey Schneider, come get the Calder Cup!

Nah. Lou loves the guy so he's not here to play in Bridgeport.

 

[Throttle]

Don’t know if this means much but Bridgeport is a 3 hour drive from where Schneider is from.

Beyond the Lou connection, if Schneider wanted to continue playing and also stay within proximity of ‘home’, then him landing a deal with Isles/BST works for both sides.

 

[Costigan77]

Maybe Greco or Korn are going to put a picture of Ryan Kesler in his locker during training camp. See how he plays angry?

I don't think that joke is too soon
