For his on ice contributions, and Bennings history of throwing in later picks to "get the trade done", Schenn (an AHL D) and a 7th might as well be Manson and a 1st.

I think this takes the Canucks to five picks in the last two rounds of the upcoming draft. Interesting.

I remember when the 19 year old "Human Eraser" was being labelled as the best shutdown defensemen since Adam Foote by scouts. I still don't really know what happened there. Some people say that our development staff decided that he needed to put on weight, which in turn affected his already mediocre skating. Others think he just came along at a time when the pace of the game was evolving and players like him just weren't as effective as they were in the 90's. Either way, It makes me a little sad to see someone who was heralded as a future captain falling so far from grace. It wasn't long ago I thought he had the chance to rebound and become an effective part of any teams second pairing but at 29 years of age that opportunity is probably long gone.
I don't really see this as a significant move for either team but it is interesting that Luke is being projected as playing for Utica(is this substantiated or just a prediction?) I thought that the Canucks would at least try him out.

schenn might get a look if gudbranson gets injured, but biega is going to get the first crack at filling in for any right side injury.
i think it's more likely a contender grabs him for a depth piece at the tdl since he is already parked in the ahl.

It was a joke. OP posted a speculation thread with no source about a trade that had already happened, it was in response to that and then it got merged into this one.

Interesting trade. Looks like Schenn is headed to the minors, wonder if Del Zotto will see much time with Anaheim.

Agreed. But lots of players miss training camp and even summer training because of injuries and still hit the ground running.
He’s had 17 games. This is not all rust.
Maybe pressure living up to a big contract? Hard to say.
He'll be lucky to hit 15 this year! Can't see him hitting 15 points for the remainder of his career tbh!
So he's entertaining going both directions on the ice? And he'll cost the team games to help with that draft pick? Great trade for the Ducks.

It's a wolf v2.0
The Canucks have Pettersson likely coming back for next game and will need to demote someone to accommodate. As Del Zotto was on the pro roster, and Schenn had already cleared waivers and was playing in the AHL, he's going to Utica.
The Canucks are currently carrying 7 healthy dman now and don't really have any defensive depth in Utica, so a couple of injuries and Schenn could be the first call up. Right now he's probably our #8 guy, though would be bumped to #9 if Hughes signs after his college season is over.
