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

[Get North]

Holy crap, Schenn had 81 hits in 18 games during his time in Vancouver. That's similar to Motte's pace this season of 100 hits in 24 games.

He's a hitting machine, had 12 hits in one game for Canucks. That's why he's a very serviceable bottom pairing defenceman. He has a bit of raw skill and instincts that a high first rounder has but has accepted that he is a bottom pairing defenceman so he won't reach out of his element.

That narrative is quickly dying

We literally just took on a bottom ten contract and a few months ago gave Pearson a 3 year $10m deal because his agent said he will get that elsewhere

And a NTC.

And our marquee signing last summer of a comically overpaid backup goalie was bought out literally hours ago.

Thought he had long retired. Good for him.

He was winning Cups while you thought he was retired...

Tells you how competitive we are.

More so how observant ( lack there of ) I am , lol

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Loved Schenner while he as here. Hit everything that moved, never complained and protected Huggy like an adopted Dad.

or to get you really depressed, our likely most valuable forward (JT Miller) was deemed expendable by Tampa Bay. Same team that has won Two Cups since he unloaded him.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Nice! Plays a hard, solid, simple and effective game.

 

[JAK]

When is this going to be confirmed.... Hmm

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Im good with bringing back Schenn at this price point and term. He brings the skill set we need on the right side and should be a good mentor for Woo when he arrives.

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Never should’ve let him go, excellent depth defenceman. Plays a strong simple effective game.

 

[DL44]

Intresting it hasn't been confirmed yet...

Maybe he saw the Poolman/ Hamonic signings and thought - how many games will i get?

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Get this thing done Jim, need the depth on D.

A lot when our D core inevitably gets injured, or is on a terrible streak and needs some change.

Over 82 games the #7 is going to be seeing ~40 games I'd imagine. The #8 ~20 or so.

Last full season you essentially had 210 D-men play more than 35 games. 240 more than 20 games.

I am getting a little concerned actually. Why hasn't this been announced? They need the CHEAP depth

 

[kcunac]

So is this signing done or what? I hope it's not something stupid like now we have Poolman/Hamonic we don't need Schenn. We need depth, especially at salary that can be buried with no penalty.

And soooo boring

Done deal!!

Here we go, welcome back Luke

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Better than Poolman?
