after all these years of "Red Light" Rick DiPietro, Rickety DiPietro, and countless other unflattering nicknames, I gotta say, I'm really bummed that he's gone.
Guy had so much potential and really wanted to be the face of the franchise. Its a shame how it all worked out, but its a good sign for the organization that they no longer plan to use his contract to hit the cap floor. Maybe now we're ready to play with the big boys.

His ego hurt him as much as his injuries

There was a rumor Edmonton inquired about him. It's not like he'd have to worry about playing in the playoffs there anyway.

Maybe Holland is right about the 2 year deal, though I think I would push it to 3 depending on if Vinny does want a somewhat longer deal.
If he does sign with a team offering 4-5 years, they may regret it big time down the line.

I may be super late to the party, but I love what happens when you punch in the konami code on Gaf now.
A new challenger appears...

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Absolutely.
He has played around the same number of games as Reimer though, in front of a stronger team. What do you think is the difference between them?
(Not trying to see Reimer is better, just for the sake of discussion)
And like Reimer, he hasnt played more then around 30 games a season.
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Vancouver give up a lot of shots?

Russel wants more than we were willing to give him. Also means we're going to resign Leopold. Cole as 7th.
Not particularly happy about this. Defensive pairings in the Kings series this year were abyssmal and a lot of that was Leopold. Russel started off the season poorly but ended well before being benched for Leopold. If he can keep his game up, he'll be a fantastic #5/6. I can't imagine he clears.

DANG IT NILL AND DALLAS!!!!
STUPID DALLAS, STUPID OFFSEASON, STUPID MANAGEMENT, AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pretty substantial difference in career save%.
Schneider is incredibly consistent. Lots of poise and rarely overplays the puck. You can expect him to remain in the .925+ range.
Strange seeing certain people defend/praise Schneider without reservations, though. I'm sure that'll change when he's firmly a Devil, but for now he's in that weird limbo space where he's not really identified with any team.

(Look's up stats for last 3 regular seasons combined...)
#1 in GAA, SV%
#26 in wins
#23 in shutouts
#36 in icetime
#20, #38 last two seasons in shots against
I think it's a fair question to ask, especially given his playoff record. But he's still clearly a starting goaltender.
He had always been excellent in the playoffs (small sample, of course) before the San Jose series where he came in off an injury. I wouldn't draw anything from that.
You should really put those wins/shutouts in terms of per game, yeah. But Nr1 in % and GAA really says it all.
5 years for Vinny at this point is way too much. They could regret that decision in 2 years.

Most he's ever played in a season is 33 games though. I agree he's a #1 but can he handle 60+ games and put up those numbers? NJ historically has had great D and low shot totals so I think it'll work out for them.
This means dick unless RSE accepts the changes that Glendale made to the deal last week.
That we just don't know yet. But he's done nothing to indicate otherwise, so the original question of "Is Schneider ready to be a starter" deserves a resound yes.
NOOO OH GOD FUCK NOOOO
HES NEVER HAD A 50 POINT SEASON AND SCORED 20 GOALS WHATS THE FUCKING BASIS FOR THIS CONTRACT!

I think it's fair to look closer, especially for the guys here that discount Bobrovsky's Vezina because he didn't make the playoffs. There's no question Schneider is good but the Canucks did win 2 out of the last 3 president's trophies, so it's harder to compare, especially compared to, say, Luongo doing his best with all of those horrible Panther teams. The playoff stats tell us two things:
1. He still makes a ton of saves
2. He hasn't had a hotstreak like we've seen with Thomas, Quick, Smith, etc.
Career playoff record: 1 W, 4L, .922 SV%. 2.59 GAA

Welp after reading this by Kahn, count me depressed and much more disappointed for next season. Bring on a random full season lockout for next year!!!
It's going to be like last offseason all over again
I hope they regret it right away and miss the playoffs. They will be my new hated team for this year like Minny was last year for me. Though I have to thank them for sucking and us beating them on the last game of this year to make the playoffs.

8 years?
5 Million? (sorry less than but still!)
This boy cray-cray!
I hope Nonis just outright vomits right after reading those proposals.

If Bozak is resigned at all I'm done.
Maybe there's a plan to buyout Grabovski? I don't know.
Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 3m
Grabovski's $5.5 thru 2016-2017 is tough. Buyout? Eat salary and trade him (limited no-trade clause)? Or, hope for a bounce back season?

Also sounds like Holland may not buyout anyone, just great, just great. Just shoot me now.
I would pay Bozak 4 mil, over 5 years to be the 2C IF we buyout Grabo.
But only because we are in such a dire need of centers and Bozak has proven to be a bit more consistent.
On the flip side if Grabo plays like he did before his miles better then Bozak...
Ultimately I think we should keep Grabo, give him another year and let Bozak walk. We can sign Weiss or let Kadri play 1C.

Nonis won't give Bozak 8 years. What the agent wants and what the team is willing to give are two different things. The Boland trade was Bozak's exit music.
I can't tell if you're disagreeing with me or just adding to the conversation. I don't disagree with anything you've said, apart from "but the Canucks did win 2 out of the last 3 president's trophies" since the importance there is impossible to measure. Not like those Canucks teams weren't still giving up a ton of odd-man rushes and chances in the slot. Their defense was always active pushing forward and pinching. Schneider and Luongo were not making easy saves.

Well I guess next best option is to get Weiss and resign Brunner once he see's what he can get on the FA market. Of course Brunner will now probably sign elsewhere. Weiss and Iginla future coming up!!
