Trade Moose to Vancouver for Shinkurak

Moose to Detroit maybe? Could backup there

You guys will love Schneider. He's one of the best goalies in the league. I'm sad to see him go and wish we got more for him.

 

[slammer]

Don't underestimate how this effects UFAs coming here. Marty is a legend, but players want to know that the team wil be competing for a cup and that was not a certainty with Marty and Moose. Now, players know NJD means business and is in it to win it.

good call!

because goaltending is the problem for the devils... its not the giveaways and odd man rushes they give away all the time...

 

[Devils Trap]

Schneider saying all the right things in his quotes to make me like him more then I already do

 

[slammer]

There will not be a Top 6 winger in this draft for the Devils....unless you're talking about Free Agency and Vinny LeCavalier(then I would agree).

sure...i think we will trade one

 

[Benedict Parisechuk]

With the way Canucks fans are talking, it sounds like there could be another riot in store for the downtown Vancouver area.

goaltending is literally a, if not the, problem.

Hedberg trade?

No-trade clause. He'd have to approve.

go look at the stats of our goalies last year and tell me goaltending wasnt a problem.

of course he would, if he wants to play.

LOL did you watch a second of us this year? Goaltending was a giant fiasco and then some.

 

[Classic Devil]

I think not having to move is high on Hedberg's list of priorities.

stats? i watched the games...

 

[Bologna 1]

the more i think about it the more i like this deal but what the hell is gonna happen with hedberg?

if you're saying goaltending is not a problem then no, no you didn't

 

[Rob Nieds work ethic]

Moose to Nashville to back up Rinne and be closer to his kids in Atlanta.

I could see Lou trading Moose to the Islanders since they're in the area. With Nabokov unlikely to return, they can probably use a veteran goalie. He'd be a valuable backup for a young team.

The Rolston retirement plan.

Yupp. The 40 and 41 year old tandem was the least of the Devils' worries going forward, surprised Lou didn't lock up both of them long term instead of getting Schneider.

At first, I was pissed at this trade. I had my sights set on Nichuskhin and thought for sure a line of him, Kovalchuk, and Loktionov was bound to happen. I'm still kind of mad about it, but from a general standpoint this was a steal by Lou. Now, if Lou can re-sign Schneider long term and then sign/trade for a few good forwards then I'll be very, very happy.

 

[Bleedred]

Schneider is literally quite possibly the second best goaltender in the division now behind Lundqvist. He's better than what Philly has so far. That piece of steaming crap Mason? ROFLMAO! Dead flower in pitt? Whatever the Fish Sticks are putting in?

He's clearly better than Bobrovsky right now, he's right now better than Holtby, and IMO he's as good or better than Ward.

 

[Zarpan]

Not 100% on this trade but Schneider has been excellent the past few years especially considering his numbers have been marginally better than Luongo who has been a top 5 goaltender since the lockout. If he can keep us below 2 gaa next year, then we're set even with our weak offense.

Schneider has been better than excellent for us recently. His save percentage was .009% better than Luongo's over the last three years, and .016% better over the last two years, while Luongo has still been a very good goalie.

I think Schneider also has the league's best save percentage over the last two and three years.

 

[Bleedred]

Moose to Nashville to back up Rinne and be closer to his kids in Atlanta.

They live in Jersey now. Moose would be a really nice backup somewhere still, as long as it wasn't for a team that had another 40 year old, or injury prone starter.

 

[Pattysaurus]

The Rolston retirement plan.

Exactly.
