Habs acquire Mathieu Schneider
posted by Pat Hickey at 15h41 EST on Feb 16
McKeen's Hockey Yearbook on Schneider:
Stabilized the Ducks upon returning from a fractured ankle and was a model of consistency going 32 games (Dec-to-Mar) without recording a negative plus-minus, the longest streak in the NHL ... a quick, mobile rearguard with a howitzer slapshot ... plays much tougher than his size and has steadily matured into one of the league's more reliable puckmovers and decisive powerplay quarterbacks ... unntamed and erratic early in his career, yet now plays very much in control ... poised under pressure and a savvy defender, patient in his positional play and wisely picking safe times to join the attack ...

What does everyone think about possibly getting Ryan Smith on our roster??? I'm just throwing this out there but I think he would be the type of forward the Habs need at this time. I don't know what his salary is or what the Habs would probably have to give up for him. What does everyone think?

Signed a huge contract as a free agent, I do not know the numbers off hand. He was a good power forward once, but time and injuries have seen a decline in his abilities. His time has passed.
Submitted by jaymster790 on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 23:47.
I think he would be a good mentor for Pacioretty and he would bring some grit and skill, a rare combo, especially here.

Fully agree with Montreal not being the first choice and if Vinny is possibly in play then he is without doubt the best amongst those who aren't going to factor into the playoffs. If Vinny were to be traded and someone other than Montreal met Tampas demands and he landed elsewhere, then I think Bob would be shot on sight.Tampa is in the drivers seat for sure but there has never been a better time for Gainey to make the deal. He has lots of money coming free next year and has a whole bunch of guys that gotta go anyway. His only real problem is they say no to the ones he wants to get rid of and ask for the likes of Dags or Pacs or Lapierre and other young NHL ready talent(basically the future).

Triplex, Tanguay was leading the team in points before he was injured. So bringing your top point getter back into the lineup should make a big difference. Also he is one of the fastest skaters in the league,thats why he used to play with Sakic .We need speed and a set up man who can also score and Tanguay is it. So I disagree with your comments regarding Tanguay. Also Koivu and Higgins had a long layoff with injuries and they are just starting to get back in game shape. When Tanguay returns we will have our first line back together.
Submitted by TripleX on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 14:55.
No one in Calgary ever disputed the offensive skills of Tanguay, even Keenan admitted to it. What was questioned was his willingness to pay the price to make a play and his disappearing act in tough games. He was sent to the press box on numerous occasions even though the Flames lacked scoring punch. Koivu? I LOVE the guy, he can do no wrong in my book, he is 100% heart. My greatest disappointment this year is for him and I want BG to immediately give him a contract extension. Higgins? I am one of the few who likes the guy and thinks he is a valuable asset. He is having a horrible season true. Injuries, confidence, coaching or all of the above? I am sure he will rebound and will become a top forward. This team needs more than the return of Tanguay and the signing of a 39 year old D man to turn this mess around.
Submitted by Richrebellion on Wed, 02/18/2009 - 02:03.
Tanguay did win a cup in 01 with a pretty good playoff preformance! I think he has the ability to turn this team around! He has plenty of skill and is a playoff preformer! As for Koivu and Higgins i agree 100% Koivu is all heart! Higgins has the talent to be a 30 goal scorer with a defensive side people are always too hard on him and with his injuries hasnt had the season he is capable of! As for the 39 year old D man i think your very wrong! Everyone looked at streit as a god last year but really he did nothing and was horrible in the playoffs! All he had was a shot! He barely did anything on the pp! All Schneider is a more experienced shot with a 12 goal season in anaheim last year in 65 games! Streit had 13 goals in 81 games last year! What most people dont see is that it was the shot that scored it was the fear of the shot that gave kovalev and other forwards more room down low to score! That room is gone now but with him shooting you will see a big difference! Hockey is a game of inchs and thats what he gives kovy which is enough room for him to make a play or take that shot that leads to a goal! Plus with guys like Weber and Yemelin coming next year we dont need to keep him and losing that 2nd round pick isnt that troubling as we have massive amounts of very talented prospects coming up! One less wont hurt!

Watched the Ottawa game last night. For those who are wondering what influence a coach can have on a team look no further than Ottawa. Here's a guy who said stop laying back and waiting for the opposition to gain our zone and go to a two one two style of forechecking.
If Carbo sticks with the game plan we've witnessed over the last several games where we give up 20 shots in a period, it won't matter how many guys you sign.
As for the trade, can't really hurt but it goes to show just how little there is out there and how it takes two to trade. I don't know where people think we're going to get this great new signing at the trade deadline. Surely teams in the mix are not going to trade away their best players.The only teams likely to do that are those who are not in playoff contention. SO what do the last place teams have that you want and are they willing to give up their best talent. Sorry folks but I think the big signings come during free agency and not via a trade. We do have the horses, we just need people behind the bench who are willing to change once they see how their current strategy is failing.
Submitted by TripleX on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 13:59.
I agree with everything you said except for free agency vs trades. As Habs fans, we have to accept the grim reality that Montreal will never be a first choice for free agents. That leaves only the trade avenue to get an impact player. I still believe Vinny is available if BG is willing to pay the price. It is a tremendous gamble, but with high risk comes high reward. I worry that BG is just too conservative to ever make such a deal. I am tired of waiting, and watching mediocre teams and would welcome a big trade.
Submitted by TripleX on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 13:50.
This deal only makes sense if it is part of another bigger deal for an impact player. If it is a one off deal, then it is a bad desperation move on the part of BG. This team as built is going nowhere if it makes the playoffs at all. I like Schneider and felt we should have gone after him long ago, at this point it is less palatable. A second round pick in a very good draft year is a high price. I hope GG did not pressure BG to get a part time player to make sure we make the playoffs. As for the expectations that Tanguay will make a big difference when he returns, that is doubtful. Tanguay was run out of Calgary because he was a skilled but SOFT player, and we have plenty already. He was also already slumping before he was injured.

Submitted by nfldanchor on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 12:56.
I think its a brilliant move by BG to bring in an experienced defenceman who has had previous success in a Habs uniform . He will help the powerplay has some grit to his game and can still handle the puck very well and has a decent shot . I always thought the Habs made a mistake when he was traded. He was a great defencemen for the Habs in the past and I think he will give this team a boost on the point where its needed. Next move get rid of Carbo!
When Lats and Tanguay are back we will get back to our winning ways.

Wasn't Schneider placed on waiver by the Ducks earlier in the season?
Submitted by nickster13 on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 12:37.
I think so, probably because Anaheim is tight under the cap. They got selanne back and thats why bobby ryan couldnt play with them at first cuz he couldnt fit under their cap, so i think it was more a money issue
Submitted by Fire_Laraque on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 12:34.

Hey people! Schneider is a great pickup, im sure he will see some 4th line duty with lapierre. lol i hope not. but seriously, he could only help since we didnt give anybody up so lets hope he plays like he did a couple seasons ago in detroit
Submitted by joeybarrie on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 11:25.
I think picking up Schneider is a very good thing. He brings alot of experience and stability. He has had a VERY GOOD career, and if he turns into how Lang was doing we will be looking good. A defensive forward hopefully can help our power play too. We still need one of two things. Our players to show some grit and desire, or bring in a guy who will. If we got to get rid of some to get it, let's do it.
Submitted by mickeyD on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 10:57.
so, in 6 weeks when Schneider is gone, again(UFA), we'll be in the same situation as before Schneider. now that Gainey says he won't be pursuing a 5 or 6 mil player, that means no top center, and no other deal at the deadline, as usual. welcome to the Montreal mediocrities!
Submitted by mrhabby on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 11:14.
unless BG moves some players in a large trade then yes. have you forgotten about Tanguay , Lats returning shortly this will help and i would not forget about that large trade it could happen so will see.

The way I see this trade is we pick up an old guy who has some gas in the tank,so we have a better shot at the playoffs, and the revenue. I think were a better team this morning and Gainey can get rid of some of our old guys we dont need and replace the draft choices.
Submitted by shuttle-lemaire... on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 10:42.
I like the addition of Schneids,good pick-up for now. Hey...if it makes the PP more effective which I think it will,its a good move. He still skates well and has a good hard accurate shot from the point. I think there is something else in the works...this is only the begining...we still need a centre.
Submitted by theflower on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 10:38.
Well, it's hard to get excited about Schneider when he has been a minus player. I mean sure he might help the power play, but do we need more minus players? We have plenty of them right now. I now some of you will say he was playing on Atlanta, but honestly Atlanta is a better situation than us right now and he was a minus. Scary thought no?
BG says he has no money left so unless salaries are exchanged we are done that is our deadline deal. Wow if this is the case, can you say pathetic! I guess we will have to wait and see, but right now things look bleak, grim and even worse. I wish I could spin this positively, but unfortunately I have to take a wait and see approach.
Submitted by mrhabby on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 11:17.
its not over yet ..lets see what happens. we will get into the playoffs and then anything can happen. we lots of FA's so the team could look a lot different next year.

You can't say Bob isn't trying to make this team better.

Is this trade good. Yes... He will stabilize the defense along with the Hammer. but the problem isn't the defense.. Its the team. No one is playing decent hockey. Like I mentioned before. Kovalev is playing worse than 2 years ago. Sergei Kos. is static.. he isn't moving. So every pass made too him looks bad.
I truly think that we went to get scheider because Komi is injured. I saw him play the other night and he flinches when using his arm. He will be taking a few games off... But this is just a feeling.

I hope he reinforces the point with this team and makes a few offers to some free agents to drive the point home that they are it.A tough forward like Neil would help . schnieder will too. He will give Markov someone to distribute the puck to on the power play.He can shoot and teams will have to adjust to defend him hopefully opening up the boards for Kovalev if he is interested.spreading the defencive box will open up passing lanes for the team and hopefuly produce more goals on the pp.Tanguay will be back soon ,so lets hope that the team can focus on getting it together for the stretch run and playoffs.Finally rotate goalies game to game make them fight for the number one , sitting the bench for weeks at a time is no way to get your head into the game.

Submitted by Drive_For_25 on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 10:26.
A second round pick is too much when it wasn't even ours to begin with, and not to mention we have had some of the best drafting in the last few years and have a nice stockpile of prospects who are already producing or lying in wait to get their chance. Not to mention the ones waiting in the juniors still. P.K is ranked in the top 5 for all OHL players (might be CHL but I think just OHL was the list I saw) and McDonaugh is a very high ranked defensive prospect who's only getting better. Does one second round pick still sound like too much?
Submitted by showey47 on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 08:28.
i don't think it's alot considering it will probably be nothing more then a 2nd rounder with the conditional pick coming back.I wouldn't be surprised if he still has another year left in him.Look at his point production over the last 3 years. The draft pick we traded may never play a game in the nhl or won't even get a chance to play in the nhl till 4 years from now
Submitted by linp on Tue, 02/17/2009 - 09:54.
Agree! Also we need someone now before everybody gives up. I hope he can calm down the defense and support Carbo's "system". Keep puck control and not just dumping it out or icing it. The forward has to come back and support the "system" too.

I am glad he is back. I always liked him. I don't pretend to think he will make a difference but I think he can't do worse than the current D squad.
I remember a game back from 94 when he totally pissed off 2 opposition players and then just skated away from the confrontation while the 2 bozos got 2 min each. Don't know why it stuck with me though.

I wonder what number he will wear? Will he play Wednesday in Washington? In '93 he wore number 27. Makes me wonder if that number will be available in the near future. Has been wearing 18 with Atlanta which we know is retired to a guy named Serge.
Should help our PP if Carbo stops putting TTB and Laraque out there. Let the skilled players do their thing.
PP unit 1
AK46 Pleks Kovy
Markov Schneider
unit 2
Higgins Koivu D'agostini
Hamrlik Brisbois

Habs official site still has Schneider as numberless, I guess we'll find out by game time on Wednesday... It's too bad 18 and 27 are not available but as ghosts said 72 and 81 sound like cool picks, anxious to see what he decides to do.
