Rumor: Luke Schenn Deal Done? (Update: #400)

[Ita]

Luke Schenn

for

2nd
Cap dump that expires this year

Is this a fair deal for both sides?

LOL. "Could happen at any time". As could literally any event in the entire universe. That's up there with back in the day, "Insider" Bob MacKenzie talking about Antropov and saying "it could go one way or the other".....again, like every single event in the universe.

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

Package Schenn with a slightly retained Boeser and send them to Winnipeg…please

WPG 1st + what else?

Why Cap dump? Schenn is sub 900k cap hit for the full season. Acquiring team can just send a player to the AHL to afford him. 2nd for Schenn is fair, then pay extra for the cap dump...

Would depend on the Boeser retention… what’s VANs needs

Honestly, if management players is smart. Picks. If they want to get players to improve and try to compete sooner rather than late, picks are always the easiest way to acquire those players, as well as shed cap to make room for them. Boeser with 1m retained is worth a 2nd + easily. So Schenn + Boeser 1m retain for your 1st and say 2024 2nd is fair in my eyes.

I'd say Schenn is an ideal trade for Buffalo. Brings leadership to a young blue line. Legit top 4 guy as well. You have 3 2nd's, so send us the VGK one.

Ehhhhh, I don't see it. We've got Dahlin/Jokiharju/Lyubushkin as our top 3 RHD. Granato and Adams seem intent on seeing if Power/Joker can be a long-term thing. I don't think we're going to send Boosh to the press box so soon after signing him to a UFA deal.

I think Buffalo is more looking for a left-handed version of Schenn -- one that can take ice time away from Bryson, who is an ideal 7th defenseman.

A 3rd for Schenn is a fantastic deal for how he's been playing this year.

If Buffalo could work out a 2 year extension 2x2 I would be happy to do it but wouldn't give up a 2nd without an extension in place.

I think he has more value than a 3rd. He's been playing like a legit top 4 guy, with positive metrics on a team that can't play defence. Even on a contender he is at worst a #5 then can play 2nd pairing during injury, or just slip right into that role after a trade.

 

[Siludin]

Schenn isn't leaving for less than a 2nd, I don't think. The Canucks will give him a respectful retirement contract and Allvin will posture to the league that he isn't going to be a pushover - the Canucks already lack RD. It's not worth buckling over so early into one's GM tenure.
On the other side of things, Allvin has shown he is willing to get things done if a buyer comes who is ready to pay. I think if a team offers a 2nd, and asks to get the trade done today to shed other potential buyers from the table, the Canucks will say yes to a fair trade out of respect to other other party.

 

[DeltaSwede]

Canucks are sounding more and more likely to retain him if they don't get enough in a trade. There is mutual interest from both the team and the player.

I'd be surprised if he's moved for anything less than a 2nd. I'm not saying a 3rd is not enough in value, it's just that it might not be enough for the Canucks to not elect to keep him around.

I think the Leafs match up fairly well. They have Ottawa's 3rd rd. pick which will be a high 3rd, that has more value than a contenders 3rd. It meets in the middle between a contenders 2nd and 3rd rd. picks.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Guessing the Flames do something stupid here and give up a 3rd + Mackey. Not that either of those pieces are inherently worth a lot just that Schenn doesn't meaningfully improve the Flames in any way.

I disagree, I'd do that trade, but I don't like giving up the 3rd.

Done from Buffalo.
No take backs.

 

[iFan]

If the return is just a 3rd we should re-sign him. He’s about to have a baby and loves it here, it could help show the players a better relationship between players and management which hasn’t been there for many years now.

What do you propose for a return?

Why not ask for the lowest one?

 

[RutherPlan]

I would trade Schenn to Buffalo for a 3rd + Erik Portillo

 

[LemonSauceD]

Kulak got a 2nd rounder and I believe 2 prospects. Braun got a 3rd.

If Boston wants him, perhaps Schenn for a B prospect like Mason Lohrei? Good numbers as a defenseman in college but skating is a concern.

Or Brett Harrison.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Geeze if that's only the return then why not just keep him... He's a solid player that they can resign for extremely cheap.

I'd much rather keep the guy if I were canucks

can’t have that risk.

He’s 33 and the Canucks aren’t competing. They likely aren’t even competing next year. You take the 3rd or whatever you can get. If he wants to stay you can discuss bringing him back in a couple months.

The player relationship issues were with previous management. This management hasn’t won themselves any favours but keeping schenn happy isn’t going to have any effect either

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

Ideally they can get a mid/late 2nd for this upcoming draft. 3rd + B prospect wouldn’t be bad, but not ideal.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

I'd look to package him with Boeser but if not, a 2nd or a 3rd +prospect sounds about right.

 

[Umingmak]

A 3rd seems like a tiny price to pay given what Chiarot went for at the deadline. Frankly, I’d take Schenn over Chiarot.

I bet you anything Schenn gets traded today or tomorrow unless he does not
