Why hasnt anyone been inquiring about him

Maybe because he's had injury issues recently and only has played 2 games this year. He's behind Grubauer and daccord he's likely just a backup at this point and makes 3.5m to boot.

1 year though and he's playing in the minors putting up much better numbers than Grubauer. I'd give a late round pick to see what he's got. Low cost move plus its def an upgrade and that NTC is getting waived to actually start somewhere before he enters FA

How is it an upgrade lol he's been basically an ahler since he was injured. I get paying a late pick for him but not to be a starter he is not that at this point in his career. Tbh it would be better for them to go after fleury with the experience he has and sign dreiger in the offseason. If I was gm I'd play schmid to get him more nhl experience

He’s basically Vanacek with less term who has been appropriately designated to the minors instead of hurting the team

I say its an upgrade because his numbers have been historically solid throughout, I think hes also in the minors because of the 2 goalies above of him and they don't wanna carry 3. Plus its a MUCH cheaper alternative than what the asking prices are for the other goalies around. Fleury would be good too, but Driedger to me is the cheapest goalie with value and yes, he is definitely an upgrade to Vanecek.

Devils give up the 9th fewest Shots Against a game but their save % is 5th worst. So i'll take Dreidger over Vanecek for a few months to end the season here.

To your point on Schmid, he completely has lost his form since the playoff run last year. AHL numbers are awful as well so he needs to get his game back before coming back up.
