As for Cory, he will be 25 next season, and has only played a handful of games with limited success. Gilles has stated that he will sit down with Cory and his agent to discuss his longer plans for Schnider, but if you look at the team in it's current state, what is that future plan? Playing 10 to 15 games next season as Luongo's backup?
Schnider was a first round pick, and right now he is not even worth a 4th round pick.
Joey Macdonald was traded for a 7th round pick in 2011 and Poggy was traded with a 4th round pick for Aaron Ward.

INSTANT improvement to the buyers.
No team out there is looking to add a goalie with somethign like..10ish or so games under their belt to carry the backup role into the playoffs. Cory Schneider here doesnt even have one NHL playoff game. Gillis is trying to sell the Cory Schneider Reign of Terror, but imo, the chances of that happening at a trade deadline is slim. If infact he were to be shipped, i can see it happening at draft day. The demand for goaltending at this time of year is usually teams looking for experienced goaltending to lead them into the playoffs. Someone life cory Schneider does not fall into this catagory. I believe it is not even Gillis' priority to trade off Schneider at this time unless he is used to trade for D depth, inwhich the team currently needs
