Waived: [NJD] Devils place Cory Schneider on waivers (cleared)

[Cor]

I wouldn't be surprised to see him get bought out.

He would cost 2 million in cap space for the next four years. It would save the Devils 4 million for two years then add 2 million in dead space for two years.

They are still paying Mike Cammalleri's buyout for next season at 1.667 too.

Yeah, a buy out seems likely.

if he clears, you almost wonder if you tell him to sit at home until the summer. Because if he gets hurt in the AHL, you can't buy him out.

 

[Vorkosh]

I'm just surprised he didn't have a NMC in his contract.

He does. it's a full no trade clause

 

[njdevil26]

He sure isn't the PK that won the Norris... but he's far from being one of the real problems this team has. He's fine.

 

[north49er]

The AHL salary average is going through the roof. Gonna need new buses down there.

As cruel as this may sound if he keeps playing the way he has he may end up driving the bus.....

Not the same as NMC. A NMC prevents assignment to AHL.

Vancouver easily won. NJ never once was cometitve in his good years so at best all he did was get them worse draft picks.

So if you're Schneider what do you do after this season? You've already made $45 million in your career. Do you spend 2 years in the AHL to get that last $12 million, or just retire? Maybe the Devils just buy him out after this season.

Schneider takes the buyout and they give him a role within the organization. No way we pay him 6 mil down in AHL beyond this season.

As for Vancouver "winning" the deal, I'm not so sure about that. Conte would have likely blown the pick anyway and it's not exactly like Vancouver has been a juggernaut because of the deal.

NMCs are different from NTCs. NTCs prevent trades, NMCs prevent trades and assignment.

 

[Del Preston]

Isn't Jack Hughes living with him?

 

[serp]

Sucks for him ( well outside him beeing paid really well ). His best years wasted on some pretty bad Devils teams . Worst part is how badly the team managed his injuries . He could still be ok if the team properly let him heal and not rush him back in years where the Devils weren't winning anything.

In a sense Schneider is very similar to Kari Lehtonen who was great on some bad Stars teams and when the Stars stopped beeing bad he was done and mostly from injuries. ( concussions in Lehtonens case ) . Schneiders contract is also very similar to Lehtonen last one.

 

[CauZuki]

Sad to hear about Schneider , 33 is young to be waived for what was at one point a top 10-15 goaltender in this league.

That being said Habs offer Cayden Primeau for Taylor Hall...

 

[Better Call Sal]

Nothing more to say other than how much this sucks. Love the guy and know how hard he tried to work back from the injuries he suffered. He just hasn't been able to do it. And what makes it worse is that glimmer of hope that was provided last year behind an AHL caliber team where he put up .920% SV% towards the end of the year.

I hope he gets to get another shot somewhere, he deserves a better end than this.

Lehtonen was so godly overrated

 

[Fogelhund]

He's on waivers now, so thread title change in order.

Weird to think that the Canucks swapped Schneider who was a young goalie at the time, for the 10th overall prick.
They take Horvat, and Horvat is still considered "young" at only 24 but now Schneider is now 33 years old and washed up.

It's weird to me because at the time of the trade they were both "young players" in my eyes and i kind of thought their careers would go side by side the whole way and be compared until they both retire..but now CS is done and Horvat has another 8 years ahead of him

 

[MinJaBen]

Wild.

I doubt they make a claim.

Woah, give Horvat a break!

Schneider was older at the time of the trade than Horvat is now.. no-one thought they would retire simultaneously..

 

[De Montreal]

Who will be the backup in NJ once Schneider leave? Domingue?

 

[King In The North]

Man, that's great.

I'll admit, if he wasn't injured and playing to his normal standard, I wouldn't be saying that.

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

Wild.

I don't think Minnesota will be interested.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

yes Domingue was called up this morning

 

[TheBloodyNine]

I doubt they make a claim.

No I meant the situation is wild.

 

[Qward]

NJ fans, would you reconsider the Anderson + Bobby Ryan for Schneider proposal now?

 

[One Winged Angel]

There was a time where he was a top 5-10 goalie in this league. This is just crazy. I feel bad for the guy.

 

[Phil Brooks]

Sad to see, I was really hoping for him to do well in NJ (still had 3 really solid years). Great teammate and absolute professional during his time in Vancouver. Wish him all the best.
