So you are paying Schneider plus you then need a starting and back up goalie. I don' see the savings anywhere.

Demko would be back up if Schneider is good . Dude we have been running two years with Markstrom and Nilsson . How much worst can it get?

Who cares about how much he is getting paid. The cap hit is what matters. Funny thing is I don't care what they do with LE. Just think the trade is stupid.

Who else is trading for LE? Do you think we can get Nylander for Loui? If you want to get rid of that POS you need to take a less stinky POS

No one not even NJ is trading for LE.

They have Eddie Lack as a back up . They are one shot away from disaster, at least Markstom is better.

Apparently it will be Nilsson again tonight.

Also, Canucks D are the lowest scoring group in the NHL so far. I guess being in better shape doesn't translate to better results.

Schneider and Nilsson this year, Schneider and Demko next year, Demko and Schneider (if he can still play) or other. If Demko isn't the answer they need a starter and a backup anyway...

All of this talk about bringing back Schneider is sickening. What’s with this fanbases inability to get over past players. This type of broken thinking is exactly why our scouts and front office are always made up of ex-Canuck scraps. Grow up canucks fans. Schneider blows and his contract SUCKS

Missing the point Donny . It has nothing to do with bringing back Schneider. It has eveything to do with getting rid of Eriksson . Most that like the idea are also agreeing to buy Schneider out .

I guess I am. Why would anybody agree to take Loui? Top 5 worst contracts in the league. I just loathe the idea of bringing back ANY ex canucks

Don't forget that when Van is paying big contracts to their superstars, they will carry the extra 1.5 in cap to Schneider. Less of FA's money though.

It was a tweet, game score by position. I'll see if I can round it up for you.

@habermetrics

Carolina Hurricanes (#takewarning⁠ ⁠) and #SJSharks⁠ ⁠ still leading the pack, but looks like the #Flames⁠ ⁠ are making a leap on the backs of Giordano and Brodie.

The #Canucks⁠ ⁠ appear to have fallen to the end of the line.

I think points wise he is right. Goals wise, there are still teams that dont have any goals contributed from their defense. I think SJ is one of them

I am really liking the idea of trading for, then buying out Schneider, then Luongo retires, we are on the hook for both goalies cap-hit.
Paying for the 2011 dream, for eternity.😁

You need to find an equally bad contract . Eriksson and Schneider have the exact same term and cap hit.

NJ has a 6 mil back up . It is no different than the Lucic for LE talk in the summer. We are just discussing possibilities of getting rid of a horrendous contract.

The fact is NJ will probably buy out CS themselves or leave him on LTIR

Wrong . It was all about the cap hit. The fact that FA was saving actual dollars too was just a bonus.

Kesler could be had, as Anaheim is in cap trouble, then we just buy him out, have them all play for Canucks alumni, maybe we can take a serious run at the Alumni cup.

SJ? Now that’s hilarious

2nd most points according to the tweet just no goals.

Who wins tonight? Do Canucks lay a stinker first game back?

Yes, 7-2 Boston

Was scrolling through all teams defense to see goals and point totals. Not a ton of goal scoring from the D across the board. Wide spread in point totals though.

SJ has 16 points from defence. Van has 13. I don't understand that chart then.
