VANCOUVER — Join us now as we plunge into shark-infested waters, fully aware of the perils, of the certain management pooh-poohing to come, of the arguments and counter-arguments, and of the impending umbrage of the most combustible fan base this side of Montreal (minus the 24 Stanley Cups).
To you, we present the great Cory Schneider debate, known to many fans outside Vancouver (and Winnipeg) as: "Schneider ... Schneider ... where do I know that name from?"
Should the Vancouver Canucks trade Roberto Luongo's gifted, playoff-ready backup goalie at the deadline, or at the very least, shop him in advance of it, to see what they might snag? Or should they keep the big redhead as playoff insurance before dealing him at the June draft? http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/Canucks+Cory+conundrum+Keep+reap+benefits+trade/6086467/story.html#ixzz1lEr6feKA
Shacks Take: Another day another Schneider article, I'm guessing this is just the second of many before the trade deadline. Give Cole credit, at least he spent a few minutes going over the pro's and con's of the idea and trying to figure out who might trade for Schneider and why. Hey if you're going to pick an easy topic at least think about it for a few minutes. Cole makes a great point that it may not be to the Canuck's advantage to have one of your key pieces wearing a baseball cap on the bench during most of the playoffs. I still believe you've got to have Schneider in case Luongo self-destructs against teams in hostile environments. This is the last year the Canucks have this luxury, after this season it's all Lui all the time again and there are times that's a scary proposition.
