Not knocking Horvat or even GMMG... but I don't think you'd get too far in the NHL waiting 5 years for every move you make to finally come around in your favour.

Unfortunately, 5 years is all most GM's get. Not to shit on Horvat or MG, but at 9th overall, you can't expect such a pick to be great out of the box. Those players, outside of the lottery, should spend a couple years in the minors before becoming NHL ready. Considering how fleeting a goalie's career can be since the Roy, Hasek, Brodeur, etc days, the piece he got was pretty good. I admit I lol'd hard when Bettman announced that trade and I'm ok eating crow now.

There was one draft year where I went wtf? I’m ok if you pick off the board thinking there is potential there. But one year they picked a bunch of older players like mallet in the 2nd round? I remember Gillis saying oh he can play in the ahl next season.

What's wrong with Schneider? I haven't been following his career much anymore. Is he not an elite caliber goalie anymore?
Or is this solely on the context of getting a player with Horvat's skill at #9 overall?

Damn that LA vs. KC game ... highest points in MNF. Fasten your seatbelt for the finish!
Mind boggling! Hope these 2 teams make it to the SB.

He did help stabilize a not so good NJ team post Brodeur era, you wonder what he could have done with a proper team. But on the other hand we see what Bobrobsky has done through a similar period of time...
The biggest issue with goalies IMO is the gap between elite and average is a very small margin -- going by save percentages it's about 1.5 goals per 100. The margin is often made up and then some by how a team executes their systems play. Goal is the worst place to invest big dollars over long years because if you have a goalie that doesn't work well with your team's system, you're stuck with the big dollar goalie trying to hold his own because you can't rebuild your team's system around 1 goalie.
Case in point Carey Price. People were trying to trade away his 84m contract before it even kicked in last year

You just need your goalies to play hot during the playoffs and you’re good. You’re better off spending money on your centres and defence. Look at the Canucks now. Lose two bottom 6 centres in sutter and beagle and we start to run into issues. Game is so open now you need 4 solid centres to run 4 lines and outplay the opposing team.

Quenville should never have been fired... that was a hit job by Chicago management and the Bowman family

^Apparently they only talked with Hitchcock. Maybe Quenville refused to pick up the phone.

Plus he's probably happy collecting his fat paycheck versus a 1 year temp job.

Quenneville’s existing contract would be voided if he signs a new contract with a new team, so Edmonton would likely have to at least match his $6M salary.

It can be like player's contract where new team pays 1/2, Chicago pays 1/2 or any other agreed upon terms. If you're Chicago, why wouldn't you give permission? Would you rather pay $6M to have him do nothing or $3M and have him coach another team. Unless, of course, Q rather be a house husband. From what I can gather, these type A people would rather work. Hell, if I was Chiarelli, I'd consider AV over Hitch. Hitch is a 1 year wonder, at best. He might pull a rabbit out of his hat one more time and get them to the 8th spot, fool mgmt into giving him a renewal, then he'll get fired again.
