Rask is all but untouchable and I wager Boston would abandon Thomas before Rask.

The thing about Schneider is that he is needed much less on the team than Rask or Bernier are because they are both meant to replace the goalie that is currently their #1. Schneider is behind a goalie that will play at least 65 to 70 games a year and is still signed for several more years. Schneider would definitely be the easier one to get. I would still love to see a Versteeg for Schneider deal go down and have Bob and him as our 1A and 1B.
