Cory Schneider

Cory Schneider won the William M. Jennings with Roberto Luongo in 2010/11, but as Vancouver’s backup, he did not get the time between the pipes he coveted.  That changed when he was traded to the New Jersey Devils, where Schneider was their lead Goalie and was an All-Star in 2016, the only year he received Vezina votes (6th).

He would have an overall career record of 171-159-58 with a GAA of 2.43.

Craig Anderson

Craig Anderson had an extraordinary 20-year career in the National Hockey League, but his remarkable achievements may have gone unnoticed in the sport's history.

Anderson was drafted by his hometown team, the Blackhawks, in the Third Round in 2001. He later played for Florida and Colorado before being traded to the Ottawa Senators in 2011, where he had his most successful and longest run. In the lockout-shortened 2012/13 season, Anderson led the NHL in Save Percentage (.941) and Goals Against Average (1.69) and was fourth for the Vezina. He remained as Ottawa’s lead Goalie for the rest of the decade, winning the Bill Masterton Trophy in 2016/17 for his admirable performance in between the pipes while dealing with his wife’s cancer.

Anderson concluded his career with Washington and Buffalo, retiring with a record of 319-275-73.

Tyler Bozak

Tyler Bozak went undrafted, but the Saskatchewan native proved himself at the University of Denver and was a highly sought-after free agent. He signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs and found his way onto the team as a deep-line center. Bozak played for Toronto for nine seasons, scoring over 40 Points, and was the league leader in Shooting Percentage in 2013-14.

Bozak signed with the St. Louis Blues as a Free Agent in 2019 and helped the Blues win their first Stanley Cup, which was also Bozak’s first.  He retired after the 2021/22 Season with 461 career Points.

27. Isaac Paredes

Isaac Paredes arrived in Tampa in a straight-up trade for Austin Meadows, which was an excellent opportunity for the versatile infielder.  Playing at Third, Second and First, Paredes, who only had 2 Home Runs over 57 Games in Detroit, had 20 in 2022 in 111 Games. 

In 2023, Paredes broke out with 31 Home Runs, 98 RBIs, and a Slugging Percentage of .488, and he looked to be a future All-Star, and that would be the case in 2024, when he made it to the mid-season event.  However, the slumping Rays traded Parades to the Chicago Cubs before the trade deadline.  

With Tampa, Parades had 280 Hits with 67 Home Runs.
