Start Rittich majority of next ten games, keep an eye on how Schneider is playing. If he looks to be regaining a semblance of his former form then make a deal, should be able to acquire him for very few assets because of his contract. But unlike Smith, Schneider was truly an elite goalie before. He’s also 32 which isn’t a terrible age for a guy with his kind of talent. To say he’s the same as Elliot, Smith etc seems silly. That said, if he looks like he’s lost it then you gotta stay away. Hope Rittich runs with it.

Love the idea of Bob but being a pending FA means the 1st is out of question for me. This team is bleeding it’s prospect pool and it has to stop.
