jagknife Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) discuss At the VERY WORST he is our exposure for Seattle. Edited October 10, 2020 by jagknife 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicomo Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Won’t he have to be exposed to Seattle being on a 2 year deal? Other than that I like it. Bit long in the tooth, but he’s still playing at a high level. .917sv% this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WaffleFries Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I am assuming that the idea here is to have a goalie able to be exposed to Seattle while also giving us a backup/1B goalie. I think its a good deal but pay seems a bit on the high side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, this is a huge upgrade. Someone explain to my what Schneider’s cap hit will be for the next 2 years, please. I’d like to see what we are actually paying for having made this happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a viable goalie and can stop pucks often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if we only signed him for one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or one of the young guys are in position to make the jump next year, if not, oh well. we can find a replacement. cause probably somone isnt taken by the Kraken.

There will be plenty of goalies available to Seattle and I’m not thinking he’d be the top of that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I am not worried about a little bit of an over-payment here. It is my only negative thought about the deal and its minor. Its only a two year deal and its not like we gave him 3 million over what i think he should have gotten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We turn a few of the backup losses into wins and we're a bubble team again. Could be huge for our young guys to keep experiencing meaningful hockey.

Satans Hockey Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Oh great, another two years of people typing Cory and Corey because they can't remember his name. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicomo Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Never thought we had a legit shot at Krug, AP, or any of the big names anyway. But a very capable goalie and a dman who can actually defend is a good start. Goaltending alone should make us instantly better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Also, guy was #11 in save percentage this season among guys with at least 30 games played. I’m not so sure we overpaid him. EDIT: If you take guys who played 40 or more games, he’s 6th in save percentage. Better than Blackwood, Varlamov and Samsonov. And WAY better than Fleury. I’m liking this signing.
