Confirmed with Link: Devils acquire Goalie Cory Schneider from the Canucks for the 9th Overall Pick

[Wingman77]

Those not thrilled with this would have been complaining in a few years about Lou not doing anything about the goalie situation

Can't have everything

We filled a huge need, solid and consistent goalies are tough to come by we can find forwards far more easy

 

[Rob Nieds work ethic]

"Hey Cory. You see me on TV? Read my Lips : WELCOME TO NEW JERSEY."

Gold!

 

[FirmestPiano]

Hilarious. Liked the video of the fans as well. Awesome!

 

[Devils Trap]

This move by Lou could help prove to our own UFA's and other UFA's that we are trying to win NOW.

Dont overlook that aspect in this

[SeidoN]

So weird to hear you are traded on TV.

 

[Wingman77]

He also has a name that is smooth for chanting purposes

Corey! Corey!

 

[SeidoN]

is it Corey or Cory. everyone says Corey but wiki says Cory

 

[Rob Nieds work ethic]

Cory.

 

[SeidoN]

Cory.

unusual spelling. thanks.

he seems to be buying into NJD. im happy, despite being annoyed earlier. passing on Nichushkin was tough but thats such a great deal

 

[Wingman77]

I had a feeling something was up when they showed we were on the clock and Lou was just there at the table chillin

 

[Balance]

It really makes fans around the league look down on this franchise for the people who call this a bad trade. It's that bad to disagree with a trade that was that much of a steal from New Jersey.

Does anyone who disagrees with the trade understand anything about the importance of a goalie upon the franchise? Especially NJ of all franchises. The trade was the greatest news I got all day and I applauded it in the arena for a while but the worst part about the trade was anyone being infuriated to it.

People that were infuriated by this trade not only shocked me but also portrayed the example of being angry due to ignorance.

sitting back thinking "I got this"

 

[Wingman77]

Torts is going to have some issue on his plate with Luongo/Gillis/the goaltending situation

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Hilarious. Liked the video of the fans as well. Awesome!

Link? Thanks lol

Interview with our new netminder coming up

 

[Kensu]

feels so weird that we now know who will take over Marty.

felt like I never thought I would see the day.

canucks fan coming in peace

no doubt schneider will be successful with the devils. he's got everything going for him - he moves really well, challenges shooters and is fantastic at battling in the crease. the one knock I have against his game is that he tends to get sniped short-side, perhaps from wanting to cheat on the pass. with that said, there isn't a better choice if you're looking for a future superstar goalie - it's Cory. his lack of a full workload hampered his value but still, great value for NJ.

How is he when it comes to stickhandling?

 

[Derp Kassian]

awful, the one knock on his game. Great mentor to have there though.

Corey! Corey!

It's going to be so cool to come to the Rock and hear everyone chanting my (last) name

 

[Unknown Caller]

My thought process during the 15 seconds it took to announce the trade:

"We have a trade to announce..." Did we trade down with Nichushkin on the board?
"New Jersey trades #9 to Vancouver..." Sedin? No. Edler??
"For Cory Schneider" Disbelief.

What happens to Hedberg? Will Schneider really backup Marty?

 

[BloatedGuppy]

How is he when it comes to stickhandling?

Hilariously bad. To the point where it's almost loveable how bad at it he is.

Really excellent at everything else though. His lateral movement is fantastic.

 

[Wingman77]

Yikes yea we'll have to get used to having a goalie that isn't strong with the puck

It's going to be so cool to come to the Rock and hear everyone chanting my (last) name

lol nice

I really hope they don't pull a 2013 version of our defense with carrying one too many

He'll either get bought out or traded and we know Lou will do him well to make it the best possible scenario for him - maybe even try send him local since his family moved to Jersey last off season

Or there is also the possibility he "retires" and Lou gives him work with the organization
