Schneider Traded To Montreal
The Montreal Canadiens traded for Mathieu Schneider today. What impact will he have if any with the Habs?
This trade is a mystery. Yes it will help the power-play as Shneider does have a cannon from the blue-line, and he may provide some comfort on the back end, but, Schneider is an unrestricted free agent also at the end of the year.
This trade is a little baffling as forward Alex Tanguay is slated to come back next week, which will mean cap trouble for the Habs. Is there something else in the works? Time will tell.
For now at least the Habs only gave draft picks for Schneider, which means that technically he makes the team better as there isn’t a comparision to be made with the player that left for him.
Schneider will help on the power-play and will help a little on the back end, but how much this trade will be beneficial for the team is dependant on what else general manager Bob Gainey will do to help his team out.
