It's pretty obvious Mike Gillis should trade Cory Schneider to Edmonton immediately.

Great post Cam; One exception Strength of opposition. It's complex but I found Cory actually played against slightly easier comp. could explain/account for slight diff. in even strength save%.We are all waiting for Cory's regression re: pp save % should hit hard/unless he has special talent?

Excellent information.

So, we can (possibly...) explain away the slight differences in a few stats, but, does anyone have an explanation for the weaker Goal Support Cory got: 2.79 v 3.09 ?

Does not seem to be an insignificant difference.

Makes me wonder whether the Canucks are: i) taking it easier when Cory's in net? ii) playing down to the competition (assuming he's being protected to a degree) ?

I don't know of all Schneids' starts, but he was in for our biggest games: Bruins Blackhawks Predators ...and won those games. I totally disagree with your "played against easier comp" note.

I think it's just a portion of the sampling. I wouldn't read too much into it.
