Confirmed Trade: [TOR/VAN] Luke Schenn for 2023 3rd round pick

[bossram]

I don't believe they had space to sign Knies with Engvall on the roster and Murray back.

Don't sign Knies until the playoffs then. He wouldn't be cracking the roster at this point anyway.

 

[SwedishFire]

Its like dubas played NHL23 tje nihht before and tried diffrent trades, wrote it down and went full ahead in reality, knowing wich price that was in scale.

Really. He litterary played video games, loading up, taking the players you thought where missing, and out with all bad contracts, give a damn about future 1sts, and not thinking about team dynamic or chemistry.

But it went well. 1sts two years ahead will be re-aquisted. Somehow. Legendary performance by Dubas.

 

[Oddbob]

I'm sure anyone actually thought the Leafs were giving a 1st for Schenn. I don't care for Dubas, and am not a Leaf fan, but that is a ridiculous thought!

 

[Pebble live]

"Doesn't create offensively". Yet somehow Sam Lafferty, who's producing as much in his breakout season as Engvall is (with Lafftery having the benefit of an unsustainable shooting percentage) is the replacement. Again, hits, mean pretty much nothing in isolation.

It would be nice to have them both in the lineup, rather than a guy whose starting position is front row of the pressbox.

When you're as tight against the cap as the leafs are you take the guy making less, Lafferty, every day.

 

[LokiDog]

Wow, a lot less than he was hyped up to be worth.

McCabe, Schenn and Gustafsson added at the TDL with only Sandin out? I know Muzzin is done but that leaves Reilly, Brodie, Liljegren, Giordano, Holl, McCabe, Schenn, Gustafsson no? 8 NHL D?

They also wouldn't have had any flexibility to bring up an extra forward if somebody didn't end up on LTIR.

 

[Kegs]

Dubois using the trade deadline to make a whole new team!

Wow, a lot less than he was hyped up to be worth.

McCabe, Schenn and Gustafsson added at the TDL with only Sandin out? I know Muzzin is done but that leaves Reilly, Brodie, Liljegren, Giordano, Holl, McCabe, Schenn, Gustafsson no? 8 NHL D?

Depth on defence is the way.

And Timmins.

Oh god no

Seriously he is the kind of bottom pairing Dman the Leafs need for a long run.

That was me when thinking the price was going to be a first. I’m good with it now

Fair enough as yes a 1st in this years market would have been way too much but we would have taken it forsure.

 

[Voight]

Even if some are to say they don't "need" him... good to have an extra body come playoff time.

He didn't play all the games but he was there for 2 cup runs which is good experience.

 

[Voight]

really have to wonder what the room thinks, they brought in like half a team of new players this week. Hopefully they can gel and have chemistry.

The core guys are still there and they haven't moved any regulars so I think it'll be OK. Aside from ROR the top 6 seems to be the same as before.

 

[LizzyDangle]

Never been more excited for April

 

[slg1963]

Not sure why Toronto traded Sandin he was a good young D-man.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Vancouver has such a bad GM. Sold a good bottom pair RHD for peanuts.

Nice pick up here by Dubas. He has a nice day for his club. Schenn will be a player for them.

We got a late 3rd round pick for a UFA who will most likely sign back with us next free agency when we give him a decent contract.

Vancouver fans are happy with our GM thus far after a shitty summer. Allvin is doubling down w/ new philosophy after being fooled by our coaching bump last year and Miller’s 100 point season + subsequent contract extension. There’s a lot of mess left, but hopefully Boeser and Miller deals get done and we can finally move on the next process.

Numbers game, needed the space and he was the odd man out. Still think they flip the first and Gustafson

 

[shortfuze]

I also didn't like a 3rd for Big Save Dave. He sucked before the trade.

The people saying Schenn would get a 1st were always out to lunch. That's irrelevant.

The Schenn deal is effectively Engvall for Schenn. Now, I liked all of the rest of Dubas' TDLish moves. But this one is a downgrade for me. Engvall is a useful player. They moved him for a guy who's going to sit in the press box. If Schenn is in the lineup for a contender, things are not going well.

He MIGHT sit in the press box. He’s insurance for the rest of the season and playoffs. You don’t need defencemen until you need defencemen. You don’t get to many guys that are better insurance than a Luke Schenn.

 

[shortfuze]

Yep, just enjoying the Leafs picking up their old d-man with minimal playoff experience after what, 14 years in the league? Such a Leafs move.

What other leafs moves are there?

If he is playing games for the Leafs in the playoffs, that's a bad sign.

People want to cite Schenn's "Cup runs" with TB, but they thought so highly of him that he played an average of 9 minutes a game and only played a third of their playoff games.

 

[Gilmour1996]

Not sure why Toronto traded Sandin he was a good young D-man.

1. He held out last contract negotiations
2. He can't play RD where there might have been a vacancy
3. He wouldn't be a happy camper sitting out
4. He'll probably hold out again next negotiations
5. He's not very big or fast
6. Other reasons we don't know about?

Of course it’s a bad sign. It’s a bad sign if any team loses any of their top 6.

 

[kevsh]

- Reilly signed for 8 years
- McCabe signed for 2 years
- Giordano signed for another year

There was no room left for Sundin on the left side, so now he goes where he'll hopefully get a regular spot in the lineup.

 

[sxvnert]

Basically its Engvall for Schenn. A no brainer win for the leafs.

Yeah. Schenn will be keeping that front-row seat warm in the press box. Big win!
