Stefan Schneider

After suffering a broken hand during training camp, Schneider was limited to just 46 games with Chicago of the AHL last season. He finished the abbreviated campaign with four goals and five assists and, while he doesn’t offer much in the scoring department, Schneider is a big (6-4, 199) physical presence who plays steady in the defensive zone. He’ll turn 23 during the 2012-13 season, and there’s a chance he could make his debut with the Canucks this year, but he’s primarily organizational depth at this stage of his career.
