Rumor: Brayden Schenn to Leafs?

[Krishna]

Saw it on the leafs board that nick kypreos was on the radio up there saying we are discussing a B Schenn for Gardiner or Franson deal.

God I hope not

Mod edit:

Now that head coach Craig Berube seems to be settling in, one cannot help but imagine GM Paul Holmgren and the rest of the Philadelphia Flyers getting itchy to make another move. TSN’s Darren Dreger reports that such a hypothetical deal could very well include Brayden Schenn. (Video here.)

To clarify, Dreger didn’t say that the Flyers are shopping him heavily or are desperate to move him by any means. Still, if it means landing the blockbuster-type swap that Philly is addicted to, it sounds like they’d be open-minded.

Berube told CSNPhilly.com last week that the fairly hyped first-rounder might be turning a corner, and the numbers bare that out; he has a solid 12 points in 19 games and is throwing his body around like a Flyers forward is expected to (49 hits already).

Kill me.

Our leading scorer for a depth defensemen... Exactly what we need! Right?!

 

[Hiesenberg]

Except Franson is 26 years old and has 12 assists on D.

That could be extremely useful

 

[backburner]

no. that is all.

 

[William Hylander]

I think this was Kyper just speculating about a fantasy deal, the op in the leafs thread doesn't seem to have a great source on this. Take it with a handful of salt.

I didn't hear that up here.....

 

[Hiesenberg]

Lets not pretend like Holmgren isn't trying to get a more mobile D still.

A couple of weeks ago many people would have been drooling over a potential B.Schenn for Franson deal... now that Schenner has picked up his game and scores on a regular basis, not so much.

That's pretty much another JVR for L.Schenn deal disguise. Definitely a high risk move with pretty uncertain outcome!

 

[BillDineen]

No thx

 

[Beef Invictus]

We shouldn't be moving any more forwards for Dmen right now.

 

[CharlieGirl]

Kypreos throws a lot of crap around. If this were Bob McKenzie hinting at it, I'd be a bit concerned. Kypreos has slightly less credibility than Eklund.

 

[Hiesenberg]

Holmgren should be open to acquiring a top notch defender, if that costs forwards so be it. I'm not crossing anybody off the list if it can make the D better. Franson isn't that guy though.

 

[FlyingPhilly]

BSchenn + LSchenn for JVR + Reilly...

 

[Beef Invictus]

I doubt there are any top notch defenders available, barring a gross overpayment.

 

[dookie88]

I actually like Franson quite a bit.
That being said, there's no way I'm giving up Schenner for him.

 

[kudymen]

Damn, I'm not the first one to come to say something about "JVR all over again."

 

[cheesesteak]

This would be like JVR 2.0

Edit: looks like I'm not the only one

 

[GingerFetish]

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

No thanks.

 

[Psuhockey]

I would do it for Franson and Gardiner or either plus something big like Frederik Gauthier. B. Schenn is worth more than either of those two and I don't even like Schenn all that much even with the recent production.

 

[Ryker]

**** no.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

with the way the train got back on the tracks, i dont see any moves being made unless the Flyers come out of the deal a better team.

i think the fire sale got extinquished when the team found the ability to not stink the buildings out...

 

[flyershockey]

What is up with media members that have some ties to Toronto suddenly spouting off about players on the Flyers?

 

[Prongo]

If scheen goes for a defender, who takes his forward spot?
