Summer Summit Splash

According to Canucks General Manager Mike Gillis at the Canucks summer summit, Cory Schneider has agreed in principal to a new deal with the club. Schneider who went 20-8-1 last season serving as backup to Roberto Luongo was set to become a Restricted Free Agent as of July 1^st.

From user CanucksWino on the official team forum:

As per Mike Gillis at Summer Summet! Said agreement was met 15 minutes ago. 

 Interesting, speaks good about Cory's character if he indeed signed before the 1^st, when many teams would probably be willing to throw ridiculous offer sheets at him. Good job on Gillis' part, and it will surely be interesting to see what the terms are.

The Roberto Luongo watch is going to be on high gear now. Should be quite the summer.
