Would love Schenn back but I hope we go after Shattenkirk more tbh.

 

[DFC]

Before we get crazy on the pricetag, let's remember that Schenn will not be an every day player for us. I'd love to have him back, but if the price is above a mid-round pick, I think we will wish Vancouver all the best and move along to a cheaper option. Just need a guy to play 10-15 playoff games on a long run.

I want nothing to do with him if he costs more than a third round pick.

This doesn't matter. There are multiple teams interested, a 2nd + in value is the minimum to land him. I've heard some fans suggest Foote for Schenn.

 

[BonMorrison]

Where the heck does he fit in? Bolts have 8 NHL defenseman on their roster and debatably a 9th in the AHL.

Hedman - Bogosian
Sergachev - Perbix
Cole - Cernak
Fleury - Foote
Myers

Canucks shouldn‘t be moving him for a 3rd, I’d rather us re-sign him because he’s awesome for this team and wants to be here.

I think that’s fair but I’d have to expect an offer of a mid round pick to be beaten by someone else

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

id just keep Schenn if i were Van... the team is in dissaray it seems and this is one of the guys that seems like he is a very important part of the leadership

can easily keep him around longer for very cheap

Schenn is the 7th, Fleury, Foote and Myers suck. Schenn has proven he can step up if needed, he fits seamlessly into the lineup, he hasn't played with Cole but he slotted next to Hedman, Sergachev and McDonagh just fine in the past, Lightning want him for insurance.

 

[Pure West]

At his cap hit, he's a 2nd round pick, possibly more. If you're not willing to pay more than a mid-round pick you won't get him. Tampa seems to be a team that understand mid-bottom of your lineup veteran contributors who make peanuts are incredibly valuable when you see what they gave up for Hagel, Goodrow, Coleman in the past. They have familiarity with Schenn and so this trade makes sense if Tampa has the assets to make it happen.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Schenn for Cal Foote? I’d imagine Foote’s worth about a 3rd round pick, and I could see something like that happen.

How is Foote defensively? And his skating?

 

[SNES]

Contender… ….

 

[kanucks25]

Schenn sticking around to keep Miller in check once Horvat is gone is probably more important to this organization than a 3rd round pick.

2nd or bust.

 

[The Management]

Don't think Tampa has their first or second round pick this year. They do have their third. Marek and Friedman were speculating on their podcast that Vancouver may want a roster player or someone pushing for a roster spot and not necessarily a draft pick.

 

[Nucker42]

This screams Cal Foote. Canucks prefer players to picks and Foote has been surpassed by Pretix or whatever his name is.

Lightning are legit contenders...

Makes sense.

You guys have been known to pay a lot for playoff rentals.

 

[banks]

The Luke Schenn trade sweepstakes are a big enough deal to have "contenders"?

Give me a break.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Lol how tf does it not matter?

If he isn't going to play every night, Tampa isn't going to pay the asking price for him. It's that simple.

 

[DFC]

You guys have been known to pay a lot for playoff rentals.

Not really. We are known to pay a lot for guys with cheap contracts that extend beyond the current year (Hagel, Goodrow, etc). We especially do that when we know we're gonna lose guys the following year. That's not really what this situation is, but I get why people think that.

The one real rental I can think of was David Savard. There might have been others, but that's the one impact guy I remember getting while knowing we had no chance of keeping him.

All 3 guys were added for 2+ playoff runs.

Schenn is a UFA. Not even close to the same value.
