Confirmed Signing with Link: [NYI] Cory Schneider signs with the Islanders (1 year, $700K)

[Stuzchuk]

Sorokin is waiver exempt, maybe he starts in the AHL to get him introduced to the NA system?

 

[Sparksrus3]

Schneider has made way too much money in his career to sign a contract to play in the AHL at this point.

If there is any truth to this rumor I say 1 year for $800,000 one way contract so he will make that in the AHL

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

Bridgeport goalie and insurance for NHL.

What about the love of the game?

 

[xECK29x]

Great 3G option

 

[boredmale]

Why?

Hope he rebounds and we can trade him off at the deadline. Islanders goalie magic(children of the Korn)

 

[HBK27]

Schneider has made way too much money in his career to sign a contract to play in the AHL at this point.

Schneider is still only 34 and doesn’t have a ton of NHL mileage, averaging just 44.4 games played (including playoffs) over the past 10 seasons.

He probably still just wants to play regardless of money, though picking up a few hundred thousand dollars this year to do so isn’t too shabby. Also gives him a chance to rebound and potentially work his way back to the NHL in a backup role.

Makes sense to sign with the NYI as Lou traded for him and the Islander’s AHL affiliate is less than 2 hours away from Schneider’s home in New Jersey. Great veteran depth signing for them, especially in a compressed season where we can expect to see more 3rd string goalies getting playing time for the NHL clubs.

 

[Frank the Tank]

I thought he'd parlay his NBCSN intermission gig during the early rounds into a more permanent role on TV.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

The guy has made 45M and has been bad the past four seasons. I figured he would retire, but can’t hate on a guy that still wants to play

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

Was wondering where Lou was. Getting worried about him.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

If he's healthy he's very much an NHL goalie. The tales of his demise have been greatly exaggerated

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

If true good luck Corey!

 

[BHD]

I don’t see a problem with signing him. They can just demote him if he doesn’t play well. Also, New York is a better environment than New Jersey.

Do you honestly believe the ahl is gonna happen? Cuz they ride buses.

 

[lazycop]

Isles can expose him in a couple years in the expansion draft instead of Varly or Sorokin. Makes sense.

EDIT-Disregard, It's only a 1 year deal.

To be perfectly honest I rather we expose Varlamov. Hopefully by next season Sorokin proves himself and we can entice Seattle to pick up Varlamov's 5M

 

[BurntToast]

Devils Fan; His intangibles are off the charts, and I happy for him. He helped galvanize our AHL team. They were in last place before he was sent down and he helped rally them. They lost only a handful of games after that. Plus, he was a good mentor to Blackwood.

 

[Dr Danglefest]

Any chance this is to give Sorokin a few months in the AHL ala Shesterkin? Or was it explicit that Sorokin not play in the minors In order to get him
Signed?

Well he did do it last year, probably still has the fire to keep going.

I highly doubt Sorokin starts in the minors. Maybe if the AHL started first but who knows if that happens.

 

[isles55]

Please be a 2-way contract.

 

[boredmale]

Please be a 2-way contract.

If it's 1M or less it won't count against the cap if he is in the minors

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

Well he did do it last year, probably still has the fire to keep going.

no he didnt, he was already signed so he didnt have a choice

Schneider may be willing to sign a two way contract but I very much doubt it, and using his AHL play last year isnt a comparable as he was making 6 million

 

[Hischier and Hughes]

If it's 1M or less it won't count against the cap if he is in the minors

hed be picked off waivers at that low, hes going to be the backup Im betting
