    I would understand trading for Schneider if you didn't sign Markstrom, played him as the backup (not the best backup though), then bought him out/seek out a trade at the end of next season. But that's a tough scenario still

    It actually makes a lot of sense when you look at the contracts. Devils save 7M in salary and get a player they can use while staying above the floor.

    I'm 100% not comfortable if it's Demko's first season as the starter and Schnieder is my backup. If they don't sign Markstrom and Demko gets the job then I would expect a 1B goalie to do a 60/40 split with Demko.

    If that is the reason, why wouldn't VAN save $7m and keep they player they can use?

    That's why I said that's the only scenario that the Canucks should trade for Schneider. They can't afford to pay for both Markstrom and Schneider's buy out. That pretty much makes Marky's contract $8M for the next four years. Plus we can't keep buying out players, that's just death by 1000 cuts, over the death by 1000 cuts the team is already facing with all the dead money

    Like I get your logic, but if the Canucks are going to make a move for an overpriced goalie, they should do it with the mind of getting a backup for Demko

    The trade with New Jersey isn't really about getting Schnieder, it's about reducing Loui Eriksson's cap hit for the Canucks. The Canucks solely do this trade to buyout Schneider and save 4M in cap for the next two seasons.

    Because the Canucks want to improve their roster right now and would be willing to eat money to do so. Its either the Canucks eat salary and open cap space or they add picks and open cap space but Benning has already stated he's not in the market to do that. The Devils get a player to reach the floor while paying him cheaply, a player that they can play while in a transitioning period for the organization, and save 7M over two years n a period of economic downturn.

    If the Sabres want a F/O specialist they can just bring back Sobotka for $700,000

    Maybe that's a possibility but it's not a guarantee that he would want to come back to a team like the Sabres who just overhauled their entire front office and are an organization with an uncertain future. Player retention is a problem that bottom-feeder teams have but if a player under contract is traded to them they don't have a choice.

    Yeah $4M is nice for the two years, but then it's $2M after. Like yeah Benning wouldn't care because he won't be here by then, but still really tough when that'll be when Pettersson, Boeser, Miller, Horvat, Hughes, et. al, are being paid

    Doesn’t Beagle have a NTC? He wouldn’t waive for Buffalo.

    Haha ok buddy. Buffalo was just a dumpster fire in terms of PK and Faceoffs which are the two things that Beagle provides so it could literally be any other team that needs those qualities, at a relatively cheap cost, for a 7th round pick.

    I feel like the Habs would have interest in Virtanen but it could be any other team that wants him, which I think there will be a few. The value is based on what Burakovsky cost last offseason as I feel they are similar situations. Boeser is not getting traded unless you want to give Romanov and Domi you muppet.

    I know that Boeser isn’t getting traded, just showing you how far off it is(I prefer the hairy guy with the drums for muppets). I wuldn’t do that Burakovsky trade if I were the Avs, there must have been a cheaper option

    It’s Krueger’s system. They had good players on the PK Girgenson, Larson,Lazar,Vesey. I do agree they need to improve on the Face-off circle.

    I agree. I have been watching the Beagle trades for some time.
    This is by far the most favorable for the Sabres.
    If they could have killed one more penalty in any number of games, they would have been in the preliminaries.

    Or lack of a system.
    You probably have read my rant about Krueger many times as I am disgusted with him.
    He was Botterill's biggest mistake.
    Eight players all had career worse seasons Miller, Montour, Vesey, Sheary, Rodrigues, Hutton, Okposo and of course Skinner.
    Coaches are suppose to make the players better not bring out the worse in them.
    Imagine adding Miller, Jokiharju, Johansson, Vesey and Montour for an entire season and having the team perform worse than the previous year.
    You make a great point about Sobotka winning face offs, but why have him on the same line as Skinner?
    Put Sobotka with Larsson and Girgensons instead of Okposo.

    BTW
    Have you watched the playoffs?
    Have you noticed the difference with their PK and the Sabres?
    We need a new PK and PP coach.
