Ducks defenseman Mathieu Schneider has cleared waivers, so now it’s up to the Ducks to figure out what to do with him. It’s hard to say what the likely outcome is here, although a trade is still more likely than Schneider being sent to the minors. I don’t see the Kings getting involved in this, unless it’s a situation where the Ducks try to recall Schneider from the minors and the Kings can grab him for half of his $5.7-million salary.
