Mathieu Schneider cleared waivers. That was expected.
Whether that means he will rejoin the Canucks remains to be seen.
The Canucks didn't want to bring Schneider back to the Canucks. A rift between him and the team developed because he didn't think he was starting enough games.
With Kevin Bieksa out because of a cut above his left ankle, and Willie Mitchell limping after blocking a shot Wednesday, the most obvious option would be to have Schneider rejoin the team.
But not so fast. If it's just Bieksa out, Aaron Rome will ahead of Schneider. And then, you're back to square one in terms of what Schneider was complaining about.
Schneider's complaining was considered unhealthy for the Canucks "locker room" and team psychology.
