Blueshirt Bandwidth #94: Is it Easier or Harder to Trade Braden Schneider Now?
Braden Schneider signed a one-year deal to avoid arbitration, and Joe and Eric still can't figure out what the Rangers think of him.
Episode 94 of Blueshirt Bandwidth is the Gabe Perreault Episode, with apologies to Corey Pronman who won't accept the Perreault episode being any higher than 283rd. From there, Braden Schneider's one-year, $5.5 million deal to avoid arbitration sparks a long argument over whether it makes him easier to trade or just proves the Rangers still don't know what they want to do with him, which leads into Steve Yzerman getting pushed out as Red Wings GM for the same sin—sitting on his hands—that cost Bill Guerin his shot at Vincent Trocheck and, in turn, at Dylan Larkin. From there, it's a mailbag that covers Patrick Laine vs. re-signing Patrick Kane, Ty Kartye's odds of making the team out of camp, gut-feeling picks on the rest of the opening night roster, and a debate over whether Carolina's Cup run proves teams don't need a true No. 1 guy. Plus: defining a sport, the Blueshirt Banter staff's line combinations, Chip's ten-out-of-ten fictional sister, wrestling divas, chicken parm vs. eggplant parm, and a Statesboro mailbag question that ends with a hard sell for Chicago.
