oldredbarnman 13 Report post Posted December 30, 2009 Hes old but still has talent left. Fits the redwings system perfectly and is still a scoring threat at the blueline. Also a right handed shooter which gives us 2 defenseman to use with lidstrom/kronwall/stuart Ummmm........Schneider shoots left also Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rage 24 Report post Posted December 30, 2009 Glad Holland didn't take him. Shew! Well he would not have unless it was on re-entry waivers which is what he'll go through now if I'm not mistaken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted December 30, 2009 Maybe it's time that he just hung 'em up. If no team was going to take him the first time around, then I don't see it happening the 2nd time around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well it makes sense to wait until the 2nd time around when he'd cost 1/2 as much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) I'd love to see Kenny take him on re-entry waivers. Even if it turns out to be a bad choice he can't be worse then Lebda. Edited December 30, 2009 by Z and D for the C Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisdetroit 189 Report post Posted December 30, 2009 Assistant general manager Jim Nill said the team did not put in a claim for defenseman Mathieu Schneider, who was waived by Vancouver, because they're going to have to trim players (sending some to Grand Rapids) once the club starts getting healthy. Not gonna happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zion 93 Report post Posted December 30, 2009 Schneids is a left-handed shot. Trade Meech and Lebda for Samuelsson. The competition between he and JWill for the 2nd PP point shot will GUARANTEE us 40 goals. /thread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcom007 1,465 Report post Posted December 31, 2009 Schneider was far better than most gave him credit for when he was here but I wouldn't want him back at this point. He'd be a redundant edition to the defense at this point as we've got two guys who can shoot and score in Rafalski and Kronwall as well as two guys who are defensive liabilities in Meech and Lebda. Lidstrom's bound to start scoring again at some point as well. If we add anyone on defense, it ought to be a guy who's a bit more solid at DEFENSE. Our offense from the defense will be greatly aided by Kronwall's return. No use freaking out now and bringing in an old guy like Schneider. We've got enough redundancy across the whole lineup already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted December 31, 2009 If he was a few years younger, I'd say go for it. But 40 is just too old for an active defenseman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We've got enough redundancy across the whole lineup already. Not to mention we already have Janik. Not that there is redundancy between Janik and Schnieder, but aside from not having a clear heir apparent to Lidstrom, I like our defense just the way it is.

henrik40 76 Report post Posted December 31, 2009 Take that update on Schneider with a grain of salt. That being said, it still sounds like Schneider was being kind of douchey. No thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
