Cory Schneider Still with the Canucks … Winnipeg Mayor Shoots Down Team … Kaberle, Staying or Going


  • Elliott Pap of the Vancouver Sun: The Canucks received calls from a number of teams who were interested in Cory Schneider, but nothing was good enough for Gillis. Gillis said “He’s a great young player in our organization, a fully developed goalie who is ready to step into the NHL, and that’s not something you would trade away lightly. We have significant plans for Cory. We’re going to get into those plans with his agent in the next couple of weeks and try to get him re-signed.” I am really curious as what his plans are, backing up Roberto Luongo for 10-20 games a season, probably isn’t something Schneider will be thrilled about.
  • Rich Chere of the Star-Ledger: The New Jersey Devils are one of the teams that were rumored to be interested in Maple Leafs defenseman Tomas Kaberle.
  • Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun: Tomas Kaberle was ‘happy to hear’ that Brian Burke may be interested in signing him to a contract extension. But he did leave open the possibility that he’ll move on from Leafs.
  • Ross Romaniuk of the Toronto Sun: The mayor of Winnipeg, Sam Katz, is shooting down the rumors that a NHL team will be coming to the Winnipeg soon. “We know there are many Winnipeggers and hockey fans who would love to see the NHL come back to our great city, and maybe in time that will happen. But I can tell you that from the sources I have, these rumours have absolutely no foundation and no truth to them,” said Katz.
  • Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun: JS Giguere and Jonas Gustavsson will be splitting time in the Leafs net according to Ron Wilson. Giguere started off with a bang, but has let in some shaky goals lately. Gustavsson needs to play more to see if he could be the Leafs goalie of the future. Gustavsson is a RFA at seasons end, and Giggy has a year left.
