As a Flames fan I am gonna try and be unbiased on the deal. My thoughts are that it was a
good deal for the Devils eventho over last year Ive actually soured on Schneider. I was much
higher on him before this year. That being said Gillis should of picked up more for Schneider.
This whole situation with his goalies was handled poorly by him. Ideally he should of made the
deal with TO for Louongo and ditched that contract. Because in the end you still have that
horrendous contract even tho they probably have the better goalie and you have basically traded
a developed prospect in a position of need (debatable but I am not sold on Lach as of today)
for an undeveloped prospect (albeit a highly touted one) for a position they are deep in. The
Canucks have wasted all those years of developing Schneider its like a step backwards in my
mind.
