Rumor: Chris Johnston: "Wouldn't shock me at all if the Leafs pulled the trigger on Luke Schenn."

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Said on his podcast the CJ show that it wouldn't shock him at all if the Leafs pulled the trigger on Luke Schenn.

Now to be fair he does make it sound like they want to do something more significant than Luke Schenn.

I've been driving the Luke Schenn bus for months because I don't believe It's possible for you to have to much defense, in fact the Leafs have proven that, they have used 10 or 11 this year.

But I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't prefer a bigger move than Luke Schenn.

I think Toronto needs to load up as much as possible so I'm hoping for more than Luke Schenn.

[Maple Leaf]

Is he good still

 

[Diogenes92]

They don't have any picks left.

 

[smitty10]

Why though? He'd be our #7 or 8 guy. Not worth what he'd cost.

 

[Peter Griffin]

What can they even offer?

Loading up means disrupting chemistry on and off the ice. Too much doesn't mean better.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I would not even give future considerations for him

He's definitely better than Holl

 

[Face Of Bear]

pass if its anything more than a 3rd/4th rounder

He's definitely better than Holl

he is not

 

[jetsforever]

How on earth is Luke Schenn seemingly one of the biggest names around?! I didn't even realise this guy was still a top-6 defenceman in the NHL.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

What can they even offer?

Like a B level prospect ? What do you think it would cost for a UFA bottom pairing D?

 

[smitty10]

As much as we like to hate on Holl, I don't think he is.

He seems to only be a top 6 guy because he plays in Vancouver. Anywhere else he's a 5-8 guy

Futures

pass if its anything more than a 3rd/4th rounder


he is not

He absolutely is

 

[lawrence]

as a Canuck fan being able to watch Schenn, no... it wouldn't shock me if ANYONE pulled the trigger on Schenn, like cmon man....... are the leafs the only team open to making trades? there are at least 10 other serious teams aiming for the stanley cup this season.

 

[Captain97]

pass if its anything more than a 3rd/4th rounder


he is not

Has almost twice as many points, more than twice as many hits, and almost the same +/- (+9 vs +11 for holl) but you know he plays on a way worse team.

I've also watched 30+ leafs games over the past few years because of the Canadian division + playoffs vs Habs + I watched their series vs the lightning alongside normal schedules. Holl should not be in your top 6 Schenn can be.

Edit: also just saw Holl averages almost a give away a game. You can't have that vs Tampa or Boston

 

[Peter Griffin]

Vancouver isn’t likely to consider moving him for anything less than a 3rd+.

 

[dirtydanglez]

luke for niemela

 

[Peter Griffin]

Futures

Yea but what? They have no picks and the prospects of interest obviously aren’t being moved for Schenn. I don’t see a fit here really.

 

[Burkeocet]

They need to do something else. The east is so stacked and Boston picking up Orlov and Hatheway is huge. They need Gavrikov or Schenn plus maybe even an extra goalie off the spare parts bin just incase.

Orlov to Boston is HUGE. Toronto needs to go all in this year. Almost all their chips are on the table and it’s time to push

 

[Amadeus]

luke for niemela

That's not happening. Leafs will be crazy to do that.

 

[LMFAO]

Luke for Nic Robertson ?

Hockey fans love tough, bruising players and at this stage of the game he’s a rare breed

 

[Schennanigans]

Hopefully not.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Schenn is not what he was projected and you’re probably in trouble if he’s on your top pair but he absolutely a solid depth add as a number 6/7 dman. People posting here like he doesn’t belong in the nhl don't know what they’re talking about. Leafs are always in need of someone that’s physical and he’s better than Justin f***ing Holl.

 

[joepeps]

They need to trade assets that are expiring for picks.... restock the cupboard... and fill in the holes with FA or small trades.
