Parise's not going anywhere. NJ has filed for arbitration so teams won't be able to tender him any offer sheets if NJ can't get him signed before Jul 1. Even if NJ didn't file for arbitration, NJ gets to MATCH an offer from other teams, not the other way around

Sounds like the late 90's/early 2000's all over again. Goalie of the future? I'd hate to see Schneids follow in the footsteps of Keven Weekes. I'm reluctant to jump on the Schneider bandwagon just yet. He's got a cool/calm demeanor and is technically strong, but so was Alex Auld when he was backing up. All too often we've seen a young goalie play a strong 1st or 2nd season then just totally fizzle out after that. Good young goalies with potential need to be properly developed like any other position, and a big part of that is knowing your role as a backup and earning your way up to the big times. We'll see how Reimer handles next season in TO with such high expectations now in a high pressure market.
