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

[backburner]

still surprised he wasnt bought out in off season. but i guess they have the room to bury guys

 

[HBK27]

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

No.

Devils would be acquiring an additional $7MM+ in actual salary still owed to Anderson & Ryan versus Schneider.

I guess a buyout of Ryan would be slightly less ($1.83MM per year over 4 years versus $2.0MM over 4 years for Schneider), but that's just not worth paying out all that additional money for two players that look as shot as Schneider.

 

[SI90]

Always hate to see this but it’s the sad reality.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Interesting timing

 

[Curufinwe]

Schneider was awesome before he got hurt.

Never forget that any hockey player at any time could get hurt in a way that either ends their career or leaves them a shell of their former self.

"Cory Schneider a home run" Said by a certain TV personalty during the 2013 NHL draft when the Canucks (only) got what the 9th overall pick for him.

 

[PG Canuck]

Safe to say now that Vancouver won the trade?
Regardless, Schneider was a decent goalie in the first few years of his career with Vancouver and New Jersey but he’s fallen off a cliff due to injuries

He was far more than "decent".

 

[Three On Zero]

Injuries and mental issues have destroyed his career/confidence

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

nothing to dislike about this guy, he was a real good goalie but hip injuries are pretty much the worst thing you can get as a goalie. The Devils had the worst roster in the league for a few years there and I thank Corey for keeping the Devils afloat during the McDavid and Matthews draft years

Nah not really. Cory was the Devils best player for years. Horvat became a good player and captain but the Canucks were horrible for a long time and had horrible goaltending. And this trade was made in 2013. And have the Canucks really found a long term starter? Demko might be it but we still don't know. And its not like Horvat is some superstar.

 

[AfroThunder396]

Tough to see but absolutely needed to be done. Cory has always been a stand up guy and I was very optimistic that he'd bounce back, given his strong finish to 2019 and excellent pre-season. But he just isn't NHL caliber right now.

 

[MinJaBen]

No I meant the situation is wild.

I know. It was just a joke.

 

[Taluss]

Interesting timing

You got me excited ffs

He was very good for maybe 5-6 years or so.... Injuries derailed him

It should've been a good trade for both sides, with Cory being the successor to Brodeur, and arguably, a top 5 goalie in the league. Maybe, had Kovalchuk stuck around, it might've been a different story. We still had Luongo at the time and who knew he would still want out after Schneider was traded.

At the time of the trade, I would've said the Devils won the trade as you never know how 9th overall picks would pan out and Cory was just hitting his prime years.

We would've wasted all Cory's good years since we were in no position to compete, but now we have a solid piece to build around for the next little while. I wouldn't say either team lost the trade, it's just circumstances, injuries, and Horvat's development has swung the trade in favour of the Canucks.

 

[BrokenFace]

It will be a shame if Schneider's NHL career comes to an end only a few months after Luongo's.

 

[ES]

At least the contract is easy to buy out, unlike some of those SB-heavy contracts.

Free dinners in Albany!! And I don’t mean the lobbyists

He gave the Devils championship quality goaltending for years. It’s unfortunate he peeked early and never had a quality team in front of him during that span though.

I still can’t believe it came to this. I was expecting him to put it back together awhile ago but it just never happened. I’m not sure if it’s his injuries or if it’s just mental, he’s not who he used to be.

Canucks haven’t had horrible goaltending since before Luongo joined the team. Miller and Markstrom were at least okay for the team despite an atrocious defence and Markstrom was great last year.

 

[NeverBeNormal]

How many times until GMs finally realize, don't give long contracts to goalies.

 

[Roomtemperature]

I know people are saying buyout but anychance he just goes on IR? Cause his downturn can be considered injury related

They now play in Binghamton. But good joke other than that, solid 7/10.

All the times.

 

[Dialamo]

I’m not sure if it’s his injuries or if it’s just mental, he’s not who he used to be.

It's both. The injuries really affected his mobility, which in turn also affected his confidence.
