Looks like Schneider is getting picked up by the Canucks. I thought he played well for us but understand Gainey not re-signing him.

Spacek is an upgrade but he's still a decent player...it might be tough for any of our kids on D unless there are injuries

Krustchev · 08-25-2009, 01:27 PM

Schneider is just too slow at this point to play as a regular d-man, despite his booming shot from the point.

TheCountofMonteCristo · 08-25-2009, 01:50 PM

Schneider is certainly well travelled.

So is his stick if the stories are true.

I note that 51 still has no contract. He was out practicing with Begin and Perreault yesterday at our Brossard complex.

Guess he wasn't as good as he thought he was.

I wish Schneider well. I don't know that we would've made the playoffs without him last year.

worm · 08-25-2009, 03:49 PM

who is left w/o a contract?

boubou
tanguay
dandy
lang

who else?

TheLeftCoast · 08-25-2009, 03:50 PM

I can't believe you forgot our old pal Breezer!

I still think we should try to re-sign Lang for cheap if we can't get that elusive #1 center.... Assuming he can still skate lol....

I think we should too. What forwards do we have that shoot right? I don't think too many.

Nice lol. I think O'byrne is the only one lol.

worm · 08-25-2009, 05:47 PM

at least he is our best defensemen...ugh

hairnova · 08-25-2009, 06:04 PM

Our righty forwards are Gionta, D'Agostini, Lapierre, Metropolit and Laraque.

I keep hearing Habs fans talking about getting a #1 center. I'm a bit confused. Shouldn't that be Gomez?
