What sucks the most is that there's SO many goalies available right now. Would be a perfect combo of Blackwood and someone else.

But we're fvcking stuck with Schneider who i have absolutely no faith in anymore and no hope of him turning him around

Are we? Can't we buy that fvcker out or send him back to Binghamton?

I mean we HAVE the extra money and we rarely use it for anything else...

There has been speculation the Devils could buy out Cory Schneider, who has two seasons remaining on a seven-year, $42 million contract that carries a $6 million cap hit. Schneider is not the same goalie who strung together three-straight 20-win seasons from 2014-2017, but Fitzgerald likely doesn’t want to be stuck with a $2 million cap hit for four seasons when the Devils would like to be a legit contender.

“I don’t have an answer to that, to be honest,” Fitzgerald said. “The buyouts are options for everybody. How does that work for us? Where does that leave us? I guess I’ll just leave it at that.”

Even if they drafted Askarov he's signed in the KHL until 2023 so there wouldn't be any point in buying Schneider out now for that reason. Now if you're buying him out because you want a backup goalie that's half decent - then get in done Fitz.

Yeah it should have nothing to to do with Askarov. Just buy Cory out, I’d rather sign one of the plethora of goalies that will be available to back up Blackwood.

Been MIA the last few months. I've followed the playoffs and such, but haven't been as motivated to post as much. I've been following the prospects and rankings though. 

I'm super excited for tonight and excited to be back on a more regular basis.

This draft tonight has the potential to bring in 3 extremely talented players, considering how deep the draft is. That's exciting.

My heart says either Sanderson or Raymond are coming here. My head says Rossi or Perfetti. We'll see. 

All that I know is that we're getting an extremely solid player.

I was shocked and absolutely fvcking delighted to find this is being shown live on FreeSport here in the UK. Can watch it on my TV from my sofa. 

Already weird seeing all the prospects on zoom calls holding up suits.
