And then you'd be complaining that we weren't patient enough.

Schneider was developed? Not any different than we did with Irving. Difference is that Schneider played well in the NHL and great in the AHL. Irving can't even crack an AHL roster and he was terrible here.

Canucks just happened to get one of those guys that panned out. It had nothing to do with how many games he was given etc. He played well enough to keep getting another look.
