Triumph Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 The Devils weren't getting anything for Urbom. At the point at which they might've, Urbom was worth more to them than he was in trade, so dealing him would've been foolish. When his value dipped because he failed to make any progress, he was no longer worth very much at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) http://www.nj.com/devils/index.ssf/2014/06/devils_and_cory_schneider_talk_contract_extension_goalie_wants_to_play_60_games.html#incart_flyout_sports Schneider and Devils talking extension. There have been discussions between Cory Schneider and the Devils regarding a contract extension beyond next season, but nothing will be done until there are reasonable assurances that he will be the team’s No. 1 goalie by playing about 60 games per season.Schneider told The Star-Ledger a decision on a potential extension does not hinge on whether Martin Brodeur returns to the Devils next season, simply on whether he is viewed as the club’s long-term No. 1.“Not necessarily. That’s out of my control, but that’s part of the discussions,” Schneider said. “Not just him, per se, but anybody who they would want to bring in or call up. It’s a discussion about if they want me to be the guy going forward, we have to figure out that part of it. The money will sort itself out but what is clear is that he wants the starting gig. I don't see any reason why they won't give it to him. That signal needs to come from not re-signing Marty and perhaps signing an obviously made-for-backup-role goalie.

Devils731 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Good news, sounds like Schneider will get signed up eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateralous Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Glad to see Schneider forcing the issue. We can't see another 50/50 split of games next year when one guys play was significantly better. They also can't afford all the drama that comes with Brodeur anymore. Time to move on from the Marty era for good and get Schneider locked down.

Hopefully it will be made explicitly clear to Cory that he's the guy going forward. Get it done Lou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That signal needs to come from not re-signing Marty and perhaps signing an obviously made-for-backup-role goalie. See the bolded. “As far as going forward, if I can start playing 60 games next year and go from there, it will be a great spot. You sit back and realize there are only 30 starting positions in the league. If you can have one of them, that’s a good place to be. I’m looking to the future and what’s going to happen next season and behind that.” - Schneider As for this, I've been saying this about the Schneider discussion since day one. Schneider isn't stupid and he understands how scarce the starting jobs are in the league. I predict a deal to be done before the summer is over, hopefully at no more than 7.5million/yr and preferably 5-7 years.

Devilsfan118 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 He can say what he wants to (Cory's always been a class act in interviews, I respect that) but you can't tell me the Devils finally saying goodbye to Marty wouldn't be something Cory is looking for. Because you know Marty's getting at least 20-30 games next year if he comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Good news, sounds like Schneider will get signed up eventually. Hard not to like him based on the quotes we've seen him give from time to time. And I can't blame him for wanting some guarantees, as to what his role is going to be. We don't know for sure what kind of a 60+ start goalie he'll be, but what we do know is that he's done everything he possibly can to show that he deserves a bona-fide chance to prove that he can flourish as such. The guy is a very good puck-stopper and has been for his entire NHL career to date. At the very least, if he's either in a minor funk, or the other guy has a good game or two, Cory should at least have some reassurance that PDB isn't going to go running to the "hot hand" (especially when the "hot hand" is clearly a bottom-half goalie most of the time). Anyway, until Cory is actually signed (or MAF re-signs with Pittsburgh), I'll still wonder about Cory going there and MAF coming here (even if it seems like a longshot, which it is) for the 2015-2016.

Triumph Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Look it's very simple, Brodeur can't be back here. They can give all the reassurances they want to Cory - with what Pete DeBoer just said on the radio, Brodeur cannot be back. It should not happen. It shouldn't happen based on everything Brodeur told the press in February and March during his Trail of Tears series of press conferences. And it shouldn't happen based on what Cory just told Chere. This shouldn't even be a discussion that Cory Schneider should have to have with his general manager. Cory says he'd liked to have had 50-75 more games - haha, that's nuts. Schneider should've started 300 games by now. The Devils and Canucks have cost him a shot at a Hall of Fame career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Eco Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 See the bolded. Well, I mean, he's GOTTA say that... Can't say in an interview that you want to re-sign with the Devils and that Martin Brodeur retiring is the last remaining variable haha.. Cory's a professional.

Triumph Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 According to Insider Trading, the TSN segment, Brodeur told McKenzie (or LeBrun, I forget who) that he is headed to July 1 with the intention of signing elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really new news though. Brodeur was ready to go elsewhere after he told the media that Cory would be starting very early in the year. The question becomes would he rather retire than be a backup one more year in NJ. Edited June 6, 2014 by devilsrule33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err, all indications are that the Devils cost Schneider something like 15 to 20 starts, in the grand scheme of things. He was unfortunate to be playing behind a borderline hall of famer in Vancouver, when that goalie was not 42 years old and past his prime like Marty this year.

"I just feel that with Schneids (goalie Corey Schneider) the organization has to move on. Me being around might be tough a little bit for them. I don't completely put it out of the question (returning to New Jersey) but I don't want to mess up the cards for the Devils. "At the end of the day, it doesn't matter where I go next, I'm always going to be a Devil. I'm always going to come back to the organization. But I want to play one more year.

Although he might've been thinking to himself how cool it might've been for him to face the Rags in the playoffs one more time, in a Habs uniform of all the crazy things, once Price went down. But yeah, he could've meant a couple different teams I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 You know Schneider will be here long term by this line: “As a Devil it’s not great to see the Rangers playing in the Final, but it’s good to see Alain back in the Final. I think he’s a great coach,” said Schneider, who played for Vigneault in Vancouver. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellOnICE Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Checking out the TSN Insiders this evening, they mention a lot of teams have interest in a 21 year-old kid undrafted Czech, Jiri Sekac who had 28 points in 47 games for Praha in KHL as a 21 year old. He is from Kladno, Jaromir did play with him at the WC this year - I was wondering if anyone had seen the kid play on any level. If this kid has an offensive potential, you'd think the Devils could have a leg up if they are interested given all of our Czechs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stats paint the picture of an AHL player, I don't really see what would get GMs excited about this guy. Maybe he's a 4th line type? His numbers don't suggest he is a top 9 forward at the NHL level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
