Pure Speculation
I saw Elliot Friedman's report today on Schneider not being available, but given the acquisition cost for NJ a couple of years ago, I cannot help but wonder if a deal involving
Schneider + Squid (a healthy scratch last year) for the 2017 1st + something makes sense for New Jersey.
The benefit to NJ
Salary dump (for a healthy scratch)
picking up a 1st (8 or so spots lower than the acquisition cost)
+ another piece. I honestly have a hard time figuring out if Calgary would need to add a young piece or a Stajan/Bouma/Brouwer
The benefit to Calgary
An experienced trigger man for Gaudreau/Monahan familiar with the city
A bonafide #1 goalie
