Just a heads up- Schneider was barely 26 when he was anointed as the starter in Van. Given similar accolades coming up into the pros, and the fact that Markstrom is 2cm shy of 2m tall, he's still a blue-chip prospect. I'd be willing to bet that in 2 years with Rollie Melansen (sp), Markstrom would be the next Ben Bishop.
And MG won't be fired this Summer. He's the one making the mess, and given the team's position and the money MG has made for Frank, he's got at least 1 season to try and turn things around. If he continues to mismanage the team well into next year (and by mismanage I mean pull off deals similar to the goalie deals he's done), then you can count on him being canned.
That means the MG-haters will have one more year to boil over in rage. Or conversely, if he turns the team around in one year, hop back on the MG bandwagon.
