Mathieu Schneider says sayonara and heads back to the Kings for six million/year.
Well, that was three days ago. Wrong team, but right state and damn near exact amount. Sad? Of course you are. What do we lose? A lot: 157 points over three years, a blast from the point, a constant threat and some violent tendencies rarely mentioned but always appreciated.
So…5.6/year? Was that too rich for Kenny’s blood?
Maybe. Or maybe he’s thinking Kronwall can put up 2/3 of that and we won’t be hurt by Schneider’s defection. And maybe he’s hedging his bets and stashing his cash.
For who? You know who.

I think it was term, not price…and, very simply, Schneider chose Anaheim over Detroit because he believes that Niedermayer will retire, it’s closer to his offseason home, he believes that the Ducks can do what the Wings can’t in winning another Cup, and…He wants to be “the guy.”
