So the Canucks are drafting 25th then again 33rd and they are dangling Cory Schneider looking to either move up in the first round or for an equal value forward prospect.
What would you offer?

Why dont they try and get Schnieder into the backup role for the big club?
Even though we're probably goign to stay away from trades with Vancouver at least until Luongo retires:
To Vancouver: #10 overall Pick
To Florida: #25 overall, Cory Schneider
I don't really know Schneider's value that much but what else would Florida have to throw into that deal to make something like that work?
schneider will be playing in manitoba next season, nonis ISNT going to move him.
but he could possibly be dangling a defenseman like Edler or Juice out there.
the canucks would have to overpay by alot to move into the top ten in this draft which is pretty weak.
im happy with the 25th and 33rd selections, top ten dosent mean an top calibre player.
I would take a lot to pry Bieksa at this point.
That doesn't sound all that bad. A #10 pick could net a player such as Eller, Backlund, Hamil or even Gagner. If it needs something coming back to Vancouver to balance the trade, we have no 3rd round pick so we could send you the rights to Koltsov for a 3rd rounder. If Koltsov decides to come to the US, you score one of the top defensemen in the RSL for a 3rd round pick. If not, you get a top goalie prosepect and still have a #25 pick.
Cory Schneider is not likely to ever play in Vancouver. Loungo has 3 years left on his initial contract, and short of a major falling out with the team, injury or a decline in his level of play to mere mortal status, the team will likely re-sign or extend his contract.
Schneider is a very good young goal tender. As far as prospects go, he is in the same class as Price, Rask, Montoya and Howard ( maybe slighly below these, but until he is tested in the AHL we won't really know). If he turns pro this year (there is some doubt over this) he will need at least a year in the AHL to prove himself and then he needs to be in a position where he can start as a backup and work his way into a starting NHL position. That is not likely to happen in Vancouver. Luongo likes to play 65 to 70 games a year.
Additionally, Schneider's first contract will be a 2 year entry contract - then he becomes a free agent. There is no way the Canucks could keep him with Luongo playing in front of him.
and he is coming out according to the good folks at Boston College....
theres no way vancouver would trade schneider for this years draft. Giving him an AHL contract would allow him to step into a starter's role if Luongo sucks down the road, and if Schneider ends up being as good as people say he will, then most teams would trade a very good prospect for him to come in.
There is no way the Canucks trade Schneider + their first for the 10th overall. I think that Schneider is better then the 10th overall pick this year and would probably go top 5 if he was put back into the draft. Trading Schneider for anything less then an NHL ready forward would be silly for the Canucks.

Agreed - if Schneider leaves Vancouver in a trade akin to this, I'll be shocked.
He will not be going back in the draft. If he returns to Boston College for his senior year, he becomes UFA on 15 August 2008 without having to miss any hockey and he then has he choice of 30 teams. He will not be limited to just negotiating with the Canucks.There is no way the Canucks trade Schneider + their first for the 10th overall.

I'd be thrilled if Phoenix could acquire Schneider for the 21st. I'm not so sure Canucks fans would be thrilled, at all, though.
An unsigned Schneider I would trade for the 21st. A signed Schneider I would not.
