Confirmed with Link: Canucks Sign D Luke Schenn to 2-Year, 1-Way Deal ($850K AAV)

[Peen]

The more I think about it, he’s getting a major tax increase by playing here so I wouldn’t be surprised if this figure ends up in the 7 figure mark and protection like Hamonic’s deal.

If it’s in that 750k range with no protection, I welcome it.

 

[F A N]

I, for one, would love to have Schenn back. Really liked him during his time here and how he stood up for Quinn and was generally unpleasant to play against.

What would be his role? He will be turning 32 and not fleet of foot to begin with. As long as his contract could be buried I don’t mind him as a depth option.

One key thing is he plays the right side. That’s a pretty glaring need for the team right now.

I think he plays on the third pairing with Rathbone, unless we are able to acquire a superior player - in that case, he’d probably be our No. 7.

Luke Schenn only played 12 minutes total on the PK all of last year.

He'd be a good fit with Rathbone. I like the way you think Canucklehead.

To be fair, that Tampa team is stacked.

 

[VancouverJagger]

I wonder if this effectively closes the door on Hamonic? I can't see them trotting out both of them but who knows I guess.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Wonder if Hamonic is pricing himself out…?...Spector has his name as a Larsson replacement for the Oilers

Said this when Larsson signed. Edmonton have the room to essentially switch the cap space allocated to Larsso to Hamonic, and he's actually be willing to sign there. Tough for Vancouver to counter that.

700-800k with a no trade clause would be fine (with the farm in Abbotsford, even if he's assigned to the minors, he wouldn't have to relocate from his family).

Rather have Hamonic however anything that starts with a 3 in front of his name probably will have to pass on...........

 

[ProstheticConscience]

For once a drop of good news. Really wanted Schenn to stick around last time, but I can understand a player choosing to sign in Tampa over here.

For cheap depth, I'd have him back easily...if only certain other transactions were taken care of first. Yes, even for someone as cheap as (hopefully) Schenn, it matters.

 

[alternate]

2nd year might make him more likely to clear waivers. I mean if he couldn't crack our top 7, probably not too many teams going to look to claim him when he's got some term on his deal.

 

[orcatown]

If it wasn't a mirage how well he played with Quinn a couple of years ago, this would be a very good move. Adds character, toughness and class to the team. Has gradually evolved into a fairly solid NHLer after hitting a low spot a couple of years ago. Minutes would be reduced b/c if played with Hughes only being out in 5 on 5 situations. Hope this transaction gets made although something got to give with the cap.

Hate the recapture penalty.

 

[NuxFan09]

He was a regular on Tampa's 3rd pairing so I don't think we'd have to worry about him "cracking our top 7". Barring a big step of course.

Would be a solid addition.

 

[KingofSurrey]

Good teamate - sticks up for his team mates.... that is a skill that the canucks are very short on.

i say sign him for a 1 yr deal. More truculence will be helpful . Protect the kids a bit more.

 

[JAK]

I really don't think Schenn and Canucks ended on a sour note before either.

Schenn had an option to go to Tampa to chase rings in his prime, and the Canucks could not match that opportunity no matter the $.

Off season home in Kelowna, Canucks AHL team in Abbotsford. Canucks making moves to be taken seriously. I'm sure these are all factors in which Schenn decides to come back.

If he loses his spot on the roster, he doesn't have to move his family. The man has 2 rings, and I think now family considerations have moved up a lot on his priority.

I like this.

 

[LogicalOrca]

Great signing if it's league minimum - makes perfect sense and beats having Chatfield on the roster every day.

He really enjoyed his short time in Vancouver. So for him coming here close to family has pretty much sealed the deal.

I’ll be happy if he does come, more depth.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Would think at this point he's at best a #7, probably more likely a veteran in Abby that can be called up.

This is where I'm at.

No problem bringing him back, but if your expecting to be anything more than bottom pair depth that's not good.

He was bottom pair on cup winning teams, I don't think he will have an issue here.

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

2 years seems really weird.

I didn't mind him here but the player has mostly been replacement level his entire career. It'll be hilarious if we're overpaying for rings.

I dunno man, I think I may be laughed out by now from all the funny stuff our team does

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

He didn't play in all the games the first year, and played even less the 2nd year. He was a depth D for them.

Similar to a bullpen in baseball, that is not an unimportant position. You don't want Chatfield in that spot next year. I like that he's experienced a winning environment and can bring that leadership and experience even if he sits out a game or three.

Still if at a cheap price (in exchange for given a two year deal instead of one year contract) and he's around the same as the last time he wore a Canuck uniform, I'd support this acquisition. At the very least, be useful for our farm club (can call him in in an emergency).

It’s weird because I can’t remember anyone on this board or twitter that hated Schenn even though his analytics sucked.

But we all automatically hate all Benning moves!
