My prediction is Cory Schneider. It was already rumored that Calgary was sniffing around with him before they pulled the trigger with Smith. At that time the asking price was to high but since than his value has definitely gone down and there back up is getting the job done.

I believe he has 3 years left on a 6 million dollar contract, which is a perfect stop gap in my onion.

If BT could some how unload Froliks contract I wouldn't mind seeing Cory in red.

- Yeah...Baby


I was in favour of trading for Schneider before we went out and got Smith , so that would be fine by me.

Bobrobvsky is a legit top 5 goalie though, if he's actually available we should at least be kicking the tires there...

Hard no on Schneider! Bob maybe. How do we pay him?? Chucky is up as well.

Must be nice having a team with a spine

Loving how upset the younger side of the Nucks fan base is. I’ve seen the terms “dropped on his head”, “slammed his head into the ice, and “slammed him head first into the ice” like 300 times on Reddit.

Pettersson will have some rough lessons, but he’ll be fine.

According to Insider trading last night.

"Columbus has a generous offer on the table to re-sign Bobvrosky
But Bobrovsky is looking for a home run. Comparable might be Price or higher"

Bob is definitely the goalie of choice but not sure we can afford him at that price.

Trading Hamonic (or Brodie) and Frolik should free up enough space for next year, after that decisions will need to be made (or you hope the salary cap goes up ).

I think BT would try to keep Bob around 8-9 million.

So he's not going to bother resigning Tkachuk or Bennett? The Flames still have three goalies who could all be very good starters in the NHL. Why give Bobrovsky an 80 million dollar contract, especially since he's likely already peaked.

All your scenarios only work if the cap is going up 10 million every year, not to mention that a package of Hamonic and Frolik isn't going to bring anything back. Frolik is a prime candidate to be bought out next yet, why is a team going to be trading for him?

I would be down with Schneider. Gotta wonderful how happy Lundquist is on a rebuilding team. At 8.5 for 2 years he might be an option. Would cost us some youth but they would probably take an unwanted contract back to make it work.

The Flames are going to need to be a lot closer to Stanley Cup favourites before he accepts that trade.

Not a single (frank)ing one. Except for maybe the Hurricanes. Them boys look like they’re only a starter away from greatness.

Lundquist isn't leaving New York City unless he's got at least a 50/50 shot of winning the cup.
