Confirmed with Link: Lightning sign RD Luke Schenn | 1 year, $700K

[God King Fudge]

Schenn to TB, 1 yr, 700k.

At least Nucks fans are upset their team didn't offer him for that. He can't be worse than Rutta.

Where you see this?

Don’t hate Schenn add for that number. Not expecting us to do much tomorrow. Thinking we make a trade at some point.

HAHAHAHAHA!

Zero risk signing him for so little. Good move by Brisebois.

Our specialty.

Interesting move given that I had Gaunce starting the season on the Lightning roster. Moves either Gaunce or Rutta to Syracuse.

From dreams of Karlsson to the reality of Luke Schenn..... and I thought my imagination fell far and hard from a 62 win season and dreams of a Cup to a post-season sweep

 

[LightningStrikes]

Yes!!!!!!

wow from karlsson to schenn ugh but 700 k is at least cheap

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Can't hurt at that price really

Schenn is a good 6th dman, adds some toughness too, still a good hitter. Hope this is true, would be a nice upgrade from Rutta!

I actually like this. Better/cheaper/healthier Girardi?

 

[LightningStrikes]

So Luke Schenn (age 29, 734 games, 145 points) will earn $600k less than Jan Rutta (age 28, 94 games, 28 points). What gives?

younger I don't know about better ?

That is fair. Speaking solely in regards to perception before we acquired them, Schenn might just seem better because he was playing in the right role for him while Girardi obviously was not.

well schenn is cheap so we will give him a shot for a number 6 defenseman if he stinks we just waive him and the cap hit off 7oo k is gone

Poor reputation I guess.

 

[BeingTheThunder]

It's not the splash I was hoping for but, at that number, I can't be mad at them taking a flyer on someone who hits. I don't hate it.

Does that mean Foote stays another year in the AHL, with Coburn Schenn Rutta as 5/6/7? If we get Boyle back he can can be the 8th D in an emergency.

Schenns contract is cheap enough that if Foote outplays him, we can waive him for the AHL. Ruuta would cost 200k to keep in Syracuse.

 

[The Macho King]

Cool - this will definitely help with our puck movement.
