"Schueneman, 30, is a left-handed defenseman with six points (1g, 5a) in nine games for the AHL's Springfield Thunderbirds this season. The former Western Michigan University standout has 35 games of NHL experience to his name, having played for both the Blues and the Montreal Canadiens. In his four games with the Blues last season, Schueneman averaged 14:03 of time on ice per game and had four shots on goal."
"The two defensemen are signed to nearly identical one-year contracts, each earning the league minimum of $775k at the NHL level. In the AHL, Rosen, signed by the Capitals this past July, makes $525k compared to Schueneman's $425k. The deal comes as Rosen scored the overtime winner for Hershey against the Thunderbirds on Saturday night, putting away a great feed from top prospect Andrew Cristall."
Washington acquired defenseman Corey Schueneman from St. Louis in exchange for defenseman Calle Rosen. Rosen recorded seven points (1g, 6a) in seven AHL games with Hershey and was tied for the team lead in scoring. Schueneman has six points (1g, 5a) in nine games for Springfield and has 35 NHL games of experience with the Blues and Canadiens. Schueneman averaged 14:03 of ice time in four games with St. Louis last season. Both players are on one-year, $775k NHL contracts, with Rosen earning $525k and Schueneman $425k at the AHL level. Hershey also acquired forward Sam Bitten from Springfield for future considerations.
