{allcanada} Canucks part with Schneider, turn to Luongo

 

NEWARK, N.J. -- Cory Schneider is on the move to the New Jersey Devils, likely to soon supplant Martin Brodeur as their No. 1 goalie, and Roberto Luongo is again the starter for the Vancouver Canucks.

With that, two teams on opposite ends of North America hope they have solved their current and future goaltending issues.

The Devils and Canucks pulled off a trade that electrified the Prudential Center crowd at the 2013 NHL Draft on Sunday when New Jersey sent the No. 9 pick to Vancouver in exchange for Schneider, a 27-year-old goalie who has two years remaining on a contract that pays him $4 million annually.

Luongo, 34, has nine years remaining on a contract with an average annual value of $5.33 million per year.

The Canucks used the No. 9 pick on Bo Horvat, a center from the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League.

"Three years ago, we had planned for this, and then Cory just became a great young goaltender, but Roberto took us to the seventh game of the Stanley Cup Final, won the [Olympic] gold medal -- his resume is impeccable," Vancouver general manager Mike Gillis said from the draft floor. "Our plan three years ago was to develop Cory and move him for a high pick, and that's what we ultimately did."

However, Schneider was thought of as the goalie of the future in Vancouver throughout the 2012-13 season, and the Canucks were trying to trade Luongo. They never found a partner, and Gillis said using a compliance buyout on Luongo wasn't something the organization was willing to do.

"I don't think anybody wants to be buying out players for $25 million," Gillis said. "It's not something in our business that we want to do. We looked at all of our alternatives and [a compliance buyout] just wasn't a viable alternative."

Luongo admitted following the 2013 NHL Trade Deadline on April 3 he was unhappy with his status as the backup in Vancouver and knew his contract was a big reason he was not traded. He was definitely frustrated with the situation.

Sunday, according to TSN, Luongo said he was surprised at the organization's decision to keep him and trade Schneider.

"I'm shocked," he said. "I have to let this sink in and figure out what I'm going to do."

Gillis said he doesn't think there will be any issues with Luongo and the team despite the fact the club was looking to trade him before it realized that would be impossible.

Gillis said he hadn't spoken to Luongo as of Sunday evening but will do so to explain the organization's thinking and its decision. Gillis said Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini was flying Sunday to meet Luongo to have a conversation with him.

Luongo went 9-6-3 with a 2.56 goals-against average and .907 save percentage in 20 appearances in 2012-13.

"I need to have a conversation with him and explain what happened," Gillis said. "We've already talked to his agent, Gilles Lupien. I'm not anticipating there being issues, but if there are, we'll deal with them."

Gillis said Schneider was informed he was being moved "as soon as the trade was made." Schneider went 17-9-4 with a 2.11 GAA, .927 save percentage and five shutouts in 2012-13.

"It was pretty shocking," Schneider said during a conference call Sunday night. "I didn't really know what to think. Coming up in the NHL my first year, it was always assumed I was going to get dealt at some point, but nothing ever happened. I think with the [contract] extension last year I felt I got away from trade rumors. But the landscape changed with the [Collective Bargaining Agreement] and it kind of changed the parameters. It's something you have to realize as a player.

"For me, having never been moved, it was new to me. It's exciting to think about the possibilities with New Jersey and joining a team that has had success. With a new organization, you want to come in in good shape and be ready to go and validate their belief in you to give up a high pick in a very good draft. There is a level of consistency there for so long, you want to continue that.

The Devils have three goalies under contract for 2013-14. Brodeur, 41, is signed for one more season at $4.5 million. Johan Hedberg, 40, has one-year and $1.4 million on his deal.

"I don't think you replace Marty Brodeur," Schneider said. "I don't think anyone is going to replace what he has done for that franchise. My hope is to come in and learn from him and take the things that have made him so successful and continue the work he has done in New Jersey and what they come to expect, great goaltending every year. I accept that challenge and I'm excited for it. I think a lot of goalies would be lucky to have worked with both goalies [Luongo and Brodeur] in their careers."

Gillis said a number of teams expressed interest in Schneider, but the GM's goal was to move into the top 10 of the first round.

"We had Bo Horvat targeted and if we could make that trade, we felt it would really benefit our organization," he said.

The Canucks selected forward Hunter Shinkaruk from the Medicine Hat Tigers of the Western Hockey League with the No. 24 pick.

"Bo is a real leader, [an] excellent player," Gillis said. "Hunter is a highly skilled young player from Western Canada and he has huge upside. We're very enthused about both of them."

{allcanada} Savard wins 100m butterfly, ending Canada Cup

MONTREAL — Katerine Savard of Quebec City nearly broke her third Canadian record this month, clocking 57.54 seconds to win the women's 100-metre butterfly to conclude the Canada Cup swimming competition.

Savard, who lowered the 100 fly standard to 57.40 in early June at a U.S. Grand Prix, finished 57.54 on Sunday ahead of Audrey Lacroix of Pont-Rouge, Que., second in 59.62.

Both are tuning up for the FINA World Championships July 19 to August 4 in Barcelona.

On Saturday, Savard broke the national mark in the 50 butterfly.

World team members also battled it out in the women's 50 freestyle with Chantal VanLandeghem of Winnipeg finishing first in 25.35. Canadian record holder Victoria Poon of Montreal was second in 25.61

Other Barcelona-bound swimmers with wins were Erika Seltenreich-Hodgson of Ottawa in the women's 200 individual medley and Martha McCabe of Toronto and Richard Funk of Edmonton in the 200 breaststroke.

In para swimming competition, world record holders Benoit Huot and Valerie Grand'Maison of Montreal each collected wins in their respective 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly.

Huot and Grand'Maison are preparing for the IPC World Championships August 12-18 in Montreal.

{allcanada} Bergevin: Habs' interest in Lecavalier 'pretty high'

NEWARK, N.J. -- Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin, coach Michel Therrien and owner Geoff Molson met with free agent Vincent Lecavalier on Saturday in an attempt to convince the big center to come and play for his hometown team.

Bergevin has a considerable amount of interest in making that happen.

"From one to 10?" Bergevin said when asked to describe the Canadiens' interest in Lecavalier. "Pretty high."

When told that sounded like it would be an eight on a scale of one to 10, Bergevin said, "Safe to say. At least."

Bergevin attempted to add size to the Canadiens in the NHL Draft on Sunday, but he conceded that the quickest way to accomplish that goal would be by adding Lecavalier as a free agent.

"He's got size," Bergevin said. "That's intriguing, to say the least."

Lecavalier was bought out of the final seven years of his contract by the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday, freeing up $7.7 million in cap space. Lecavalier, 33, will be paid north of $30 million over the next 14 years as part of his buyout, but he said in a conference call Thursday that he would be interested in signing a long-term contract that would get him to retirement.

When asked if the Canadiens would be willing to satisfy that criteria, Bergevin declined comment.

Pierre LeBrun of ESPN.com reported Sunday the Canadiens were one of a dozen teams to contact Lecavalier, and that he would be trying to get that down to three or four teams over the next couple of days.

{allcanada} NHL Draft full of family connections

NEWARK, N.J. -- Max Domi and his father, Tie, are polar opposites as far as NHL skill sets go, but Max is quick to credit his dad for his success on the ice.

"He played 17 years in the NHL so he was doing something right, and he's probably one of the hardest workers I've ever met," Max said. "I kind of take bits and pieces of what he did in his career and implement them into mine, hoping for the best."

He appears to have taken all the right pieces as Max, a high-skill forward with the London Knights of the Ontario Hockey League, was taken by the Phoenix Coyotes with the No. 12 pick of the 2013 NHL Draft.

Domi was one of four players taken in the first round Sunday whose fathers played in the NHL.

None, however, was welcomed to the NHL quite as dramatically as Anthony Brodeur, the son of New Jersey Devils goalie Martin Brodeur.

The Devils acquired a seventh-round pick (No. 208) from the Los Angeles Kings and used it to select Anthony Brodeur, a goaltender from Shattuck-St. Mary's. Martin Brodeur took the microphone at the Devils' table to make the announcement, which was greeted by thunderous applause from those remaining in the building almost seven hours after the start of the draft.

"This is so surreal, no other way to explain it," said Anthony Brodeur, who will play for Gatineau in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League next season. "I've grown up watching the Devils, cheering on the Devils, cheering on my dad; so being in this jersey right now in this arena and everything is awesome."

Elias Lindholm, taken No. 5 by the Carolina Hurricanes, is the son of Mikael Lindholm, a 1987 draft pick of the Los Angeles Kings who played 18 NHL games with L.A. during the 1989-90 season but spent most of his professional career playing in Europe.

Andre Burakovsky, selected by the Washington Capitals at No. 23, is the son of Robert Burakovsky, a New York Rangers draft pick who played 23 games for the Ottawa Senators during the 1993-94 season.

In addition, Anthony Mantha, Detroit's pick at No. 20, is the grandson of Andre Pronovost, who was part of four straight Stanley Cup championships (1957-60) with the Montreal Canadiens.

"There's no words to describe those moments," Mantha told NHL.com. "It's really the moments that he reminds himself of the most and he tells his sons and grandchildren."

Mantha said occasionally his grandfather would bring his championship rings out, but said he never tried them on.

"Never wore it," he said. "I hope I'll get my own in the next few years."

There were a few family reunions made possible by the draft. Guelph Storm left wing Tyler Bertuzzi, taken by the Red Wings in the second round, has a chance to be part of the same organization that employs his uncle, Todd Bertuzzi.

Like New Jersey, there was a father-and-son affair in Phoenix -- sixth-round pick Brendan Burke, a goalie with the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League, will join his father, Sean, who is an assistant to the general manager and the goaltending coach for the Coyotes.

The third Subban brother also was drafted into the NHL as Jordan, a defenseman with the Belleville Bulls, was selected in the fourth round by the Vancouver Canucks. He joins oldest brother P.K., the 2013 Norris Trophy winner who was a 2007 second-round pick of the Montreal Canadiens, and Malcolm, a goaltender taken by the Boston Bruins with the 24th pick of the 2012 draft.

The Canucks drafted another player with a familiar name, selecting Oshawa Generals center Cole Cassels in the third round. His father, Andrew Cassels, was taken by the Montreal Canadiens with the 17th pick of the 1987 draft and played 1,015 games for six teams, including the Canucks.

Other familiar names picked included Winnipeg Jets second-round pick Eric Comrie, whose half-brother, Mike Comrie, played more than 500 NHL games with six teams; New York Rangers third-round pick Adam Tambellini, son of former Edmonton Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini; Boston Bruins fourth-round pick Ryan Fitzgerald, son of former NHL player and current Pittsburgh Penguins assistant general manager Tom Fitzgerald, and Los Angeles Kings fifth-round pick Patrik Bartosak, nephew of former NHL player Radek Bonk.

{allcanada} ERROR BY THOLE IN NINTH GIVES RED SOX WIN OVER BLUE JAYS

 

BOSTON -- The Red Sox have 50 wins by the end of June after getting 69 all last year. They're in first place in the AL East one season after finishing last.

Boston's turnaround rolled on with a 5-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. There were smiles in the clubhouse but hardly a sense of satisfaction.

"With 50 wins, people are going to keep talking about that. It's not enough," Shane Victorino said. "We've got to keep going."

His hard grounder eluded first baseman Josh Thole for an error as Jonathan Diaz raced home with the winning run in the ninth inning. Thole entered in the bottom of the third when Adam Lind left with mid-back tightness and Thole was playing first base for just the second time in 316 major league games.

"You've just got to know who to hit it to, I guess," Victorino said with a smile. "I played against Josh all those years in New York and he was a catcher."

Thole, acquired from the New York Mets along with pitcher R.A. Dickey in December, had played first at Triple-A Buffalo before he was called up on June 7.

"I've played first base. That's what I'm here for," he said. "I've got to catch the ball and make an out."

Jose Bautista tied the game in the ninth against Koji Uehara (1-0) with a solo homer, his 19th of the season and third in two games. On the previous at-bat, Victorino made a sliding catch near the right-field line on Jose Reyes' fly ball.

"I think a lot of people doubted this team, the capabilities that we had," Victorino said. "We've got that target on our back because we're in first place. But you know what? We're up for the challenge."

Brandon Snyder singled with one out in the bottom half against Juan Perez (1-1), Jacoby Ellsbury walked and Casey Janssen relieved. Diaz ran for Snyder, and Thole couldn't handle Victorino's shot.

The Red Sox won for the fifth time in six games and improved to an AL-best 50-34. For the first time since 2009, they've won 50 games before any other AL team. They also reached 50 wins by the end of June for the fourth time in team history following 1946, 1978 and 2008. Their longest losing streak is three games.

"We've been consistent," manager John Farrell said. "I think it speaks of overall depth of the team. It's certainly not a milestone by any means. We've got a long way to go."

Toronto has lost five of seven following an 11-game winning streak that tied the club record. At 40-41, the Blue Jays are in last place, 8 1-2 games behind the Red Sox.

"I don't think it's where we expected or wanted to be in spring training," Toronto starter Mark Buehrle said. "Hopefully, we can go on some more winning streaks."

Manager John Gibbons said the Blue Jays had plenty of chances before Thole's error.

"That might be the most frustrating loss of the year right there," he said, "I can't remember that many opportunities."

Reyes homered leading off the seventh, his second of the season and first since April 5. Reyes returned Wednesday after missing 66 games because of a severely sprained left ankle.

Boston starter Ryan Dempster allowed two runs, seven hits and three walks in 5 1-3 innings. Buehrle gave up four runs and seven hits in six innings.

Ryan Lavarnway's RBI double and Snyder's two-run double gave Boston a 3-0 lead in the second. It was the first big-league hit of the season for Snyder, brought up from Triple-A on Tuesday when struggling third baseman Will Middlebrooks was sent to Pawtucket.

Colby Rasmus' RBI single and Maicer Izturis' run-scoring forceout cut the gap to 3-2 in the fourth.

After Jonny Gomes' RBI double boosted the margin in the fifth, the Blue Jays loaded the bases with no outs in the sixth on a walk to Thole and singles by Rajai Davis and Rasmus. Dempster got J.P. Arencibia to pop out, and Craig Breslow retired Izturis on a popout and then struck out pinch-hitter Emilio Bonifacio.

NOTES: Davis' stolen base in the fourth was his fifth in three days. ... Boston SS Stephen Drew missed his second game with a right hamstring injury. ... After a day off Monday, the Red Sox begin their last series of a nine-game homestand with the first of three against San Diego. Robbie Erlin (1-0) pitches for San Diego against John Lackey (5-5). ... The Blue Jays open a four-game series at home against Detroit on Monday with R.A. Dickey (7-8) pitching against Jose Alvarez (1-1).

{allcanada} CANADIENS TAKE MCCARRON WITH 25TH PICK, FUCALE 36TH

 

NEWARK, N.J. -- The Montreal Canadiens added some muscle by selecting right-winger Mike McCarron with their first choice in the NHL draft.

McCarron is listed at six-foot-five, 228 pounds and would provide the Habs with much-needed size up front.

The Michigan native, selected 25th overall, has been compared to Milan Lucic, the Boston Bruins' forward who has given the Habs headaches in recent years.

McCarron is thought to be a potential third-liner with some scoring upside. He played with the U.S. National Team Development Program, with whom he scored 11 goals and had 18 assists in 49 games last season.

His Canadian Hockey League rights belong to the London Knights, but it's possible McCarron could go the college route. He signed a letter of intent with the Western Michigan Broncos, who are headed by former NHL coach Andy Murray.

The Canadiens had three more picks in the second round.

With their 34th overall choice, the Habs picked centre Jacob de la Rose. He is listed at 6-2, 176 pounds and had six goals and six assists in 38 games for Leksand in the Swedish Division 2 league.

Two picks later, the Canadiens selected the first goalie of the draft, Zachary Fucale of the Halifax Mooseheads. The Quebec native posted a 2.35 goals against average in 55 games last year as he guided the Mooseheads to the Memorial Cup.

With the 55th overall pick, the team grabbed Artturi Lehkonen, who played last year in the Finnish Elite League. The five-foot-nine, 163 pound left-winger had 14 goals and 16 assists in 45 games.

{allcanada} MAPLE LEAFS TAKE CENTRE GAUTHIER WITH 21ST PICK IN NHL DRAFT

 

NEWARK, N.J. -- The Toronto Maple Leafs picked up size and depth in Sunday's NHL draft in the former of Rimouski centre Frederik Gauthier.

But they will likely have to wait for their 21st overall pick to make his presence felt in the NHL.

"He's big," Toronto GM Dave Nonis said when asked about his first-round pick. "He's a big man."

Gauthier is one for the future and, at six foot four and 215 pounds, the 18-year-old from Laval, Que., is a load.

He's billed as a strong two-way player who led first-year Quebec Major Junior Hockey League players in faceoff percentage. He ranked eighth among North American skaters, according to NHL Central Scouting.

"I've never seen a kid get back and play defence like he does in 20 years," said Chris Bordeleau of NHL Central Scouting. "In his own end, he's always around the puck. A kid that can play defence like he does at his age, with that kind of maturity, is very rare."

Gauthier had 22 goals and 28 assists in his first season with the Oceanic, to rank fourth among rookies.

He also helped Canada earn a gold medal at the 2013 Under-18 World Championship in Russia with a goal and three assists in seven games.

Nonis said the Leafs had four or five players in mind with their first pick and had looked into moving up. But they abandoned the effort after deducing that Gauthier would still be there when their turn came around.

"He fills a need long-term for us," said Nonis. "I don't expect that we'll see him shortly but he's come a long way in a short amount of time. He was playing midget hockey not too long ago."

Gauthier will come to rookie camp with the Leafs.

"Someone asked me earlier how long is it going to take for him. It's going to take as long as it takes," said Nonis. "There's not going to be any rushing of any of these players. We want to do a better job of being as deep as we can be so we can keep the players where they should be playing until they're developed and ready to come and play for us."

Gauthier, who says he models his game after Jordan Staal, said he was surprised and excited to be taken by Toronto. He had spoken to the team at the recent NHL Combine.

"I'll try and make the NHL next year for sure," he said. "And if I don't, I'll go back to Rimouski and play junior and continue at school."

Nonis said he looked at moving higher in the draft but the price was too steep. "The assets to move up didn't make any sense."
