Brayden Schenn WHL Trade Thread

[CamDegs13]

This trade is still going to go down tomorrow before the deadline, I would imagine. And there is a good chance Scott Glennie will also be involved.

Blades top 3 lines could end up looking like:

Hamilton-Glennie-Schenn
Collins-Viedensky-Nicholls
Dziurzynski-Benson-Trask


Very very impressive if that's how it all plays out.

I don't know much about the CHL leagues aside from the teams and the more well-known players, but don't the Blades have Siemens and Elliott on D also? Wow...

If this is true I am going to go buy a Blades jersey with Schenn's name on the back.

Scott Glennie disapproves.

Yeah man team is looking hella good and will finally be ready to win a WHL title if this trade goes down, exciting stuff.

If I'm the Wheaties and I'm trading Schenn to the Blades, I would want to get a package with Brent Benson as the centerpiece back the other way.

 

[Saskatoon]

Wow this may finally allow to Blades to make past the second round of the playoffs for the first time in I am not even sure how long

I read that Benson nixed a deal that involved him (being a high pick allowed for him to have a NTC) and that they have re worked the deal or something. Not sure if this is true, just a little something I thought was interesting.

New trade rumour out their regarding Schenn to the Blades for:

D - Ayrton Nikkel (2nd round bantam pick in 2010)
F - Tim McGauley (1st round bantam pick in 2010)
1st in 2011
1st in 2012


That's a steep price. Both those two young players are going to be GREAT WHLers. The Blades are so high on Nikkel. He could be a very good defenseman and potential top pick in the 2013 NHL draft.

Do you think that would include Glennie as well? At the very least both those first round picks will be in the 20-22 range so close to second rounders... Do you think McGauley is going to be a impact player in the WHL? I heard Nikkel is much better despite being drafted behind him.

I would hope it includes Glennie, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I really liked what I saw out of McGauley in his recent 5 game stint with the Blades. Very good hands, also a very smart player. That is a very good combo to have. He should still grow and inch or two and add 10-15 pounds by next fall. I think he will be a full time rookie with Brandon next year and should put together a very solid WHL career at the very least.

As for Nikkel, I never saw him this year but the Blades organization is VERY high on him. It sounds like he could be a very solid 2 way defender. The next best defender behind Elliott and Siemens recently. That kind of player is very tough to give up. Especially along with another good young prospect in McGauley and 2 good picks.

Well overall it does seem like a steep price to pay if this indeed happens but I think it's a trade Lorne has to make and I am satisfied with it. If the Blades win the WHL title with Schenn then that makes the trade worth it no matter how good the players we gave up turn out IMO.

I agree, winning is the biggest thing. It makes them better, if the rumour is in fact true.

Another big part of the whole thing though is the fact that the trade includes NO ONE from the current roster. That is huge.

 

[ThankYouBasedGod]

Yup, keeping players like Benson, Olsen and Bews is a HUGE plus, loving that aspect of the trade.

Every year Saskatoon contended last few years, they always had the hart, work ethic but lacked the high end skill. With Shenn (possibly Glenny) Saskatoon not only favorite for WHL Title but also the Memorial Cup

IMO.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

No trade yet

 

[SidGenoMario]

Oh god I hope this happens. We'd be unstoppable.

 

[SidGenoMario]

According to various recent tweets, it's now official! Press conference at 2! I'm so excited, this is amazing.

 

[BigG44]

From Bruce Luebke (@wheatkingsvoice) via Twitter: Sounds like the Brayden Schenn deal to Saskatoon is done, and should be officially announced this afternoon.

 

[R S]

Sounds to me like:

Schenn
(maybe) Glennie

for

Ayrton Nikkel
Tim McGauley
Several high picks (I would expect 1st's in 2011 + 2012, plus other picks)

With the Collins-Vidensky-Nicholls line having success over the WJs I am assuming they will stay together and have Hamilton-Schenn-?????? as their new top line. Blades look like they can do some damage.

 

[Sticks and Pucks]

If Schenn stays healthy, this team should be the favourite to win it all.

 

[Jwm1986]

Yeah that's weird because I know Glennie played center against the Blades earlier this year, and Schenn spent the whole WJHC as a winger.

Schenn didnt spend the whole WJHC on wing....Where did you get that? I watched him take nearly every face off while he was on the ice....
