He is garbage and will do nothing for the team.
Gardiner should be playing.
Does he hit hard or rub guys out?

This is a good point, but we all know that when Schenn is on his game.. He's on another level.Assuming O'Byrne is retained and he can just play his game quietly, and assuming Fraser keeps it up too, you wonder why on earth anyone would draft Luke Schenn type prospects and sign Mike Komisarek free agent duds to fat contracts at all.
It's more about what Carlyle wants.What about Liles? He played very well just to be pushed back for this guy? Granted he has had a few good games and actually almost got a goal last night but still. The honeymoon period will stop and he is really a bottom paring defenceman.
but makes you wonder as to why you would draft a defensive dman with a high draft pick

I don't think Luke Schenn was considered a strictly defensive D. Was he not compared to a guy like Shea Weber in scouting reports?
I'm pretty sure Luke Schenn's ceiling was Shea Weber.
