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

[tkb81]

So what you're saying is you have zero experience with kids. Nobody is getting in a car with a baby that's a month or two old and driving long distance unless they're running from a zombie apocalypse. Seattle is the closest at 2.5 hours, and no reasonable person would even want to do that. Everything else is 10+ hours. It's not happening.

So your solution is a car for god knows how long with a newborn?

Someone beat me to it..

haha or ya'll are being too prissy about a car ride ... and i have 4 kids ... and the best time to travel with them are babies as they sleep alot ... but you guys just seem to want to argue .. lol

one thing is for sure, its clear as day that the insiders have no real soure within the organizations.

Their sources are probably at NHL head office who leaks to insiders when a trade has been submitted. Insiders then get a head start in announcing it to the public.

If these insiders had any real source, theyd be able to report a deal that is pretty much done like this one.

Yet insiders cant even pinpoint which team Schenn is going to.

 

[JKG33]

has the baby ” gone through“ yet?

Baby refuses to waive NMC, negotiations ongoing

49, so they could do it without sending a contract back.

They need a contract spot for Knies at the end of his college season.

Absolute worse case scenario there is you send some team a 7th to take an AHL player. Dropping 1 contract isn't a big deal.

 

[SEALBound]

Chris Driedger was waived. Schenn to Seattle confirmed.

Oh I agree. Creating contract spots isn’t hard at all. I’m sure every organization has a prospect they have pretty much lost faith in that another organization would take a flyer on if he doesn’t cost them anything.

I’m just saying after the deadline next Friday Toronto still needs to be at no more than 49 contracts.

Schenn to Seattle makes sense.

 

[innitfam]

Schenn to Seattle makes sense.

It does, but their blueline looks a little crowded as is. Would they be shipping someone else out (Soucy?) for a F?

 

[JKG33]

Schenn to Seattle makes sense.

I made that guess a week or two ago. Schenn to Seattle and they trade Soucy for more than they paid for Schenn

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

I feel like this is gonna be a bigger deal than expected, What exactly is the other thing they are waiting for? Makes me wonder

Gavrikov

Schenn to Seattle makes sense.

Does Seattle have any cap dump? Don't follow them so no idea.

 

[innitfam]

No they're fine. Can easily add Schenn.

Canucks have been rumoured to want the best pick possible back in a deal and Zaitzev just created a hole in the Right side for Ottawa who seems to be going for it. I can see a 24 second round pick coming to us in order to replace the 2nd we traded away for Dickinson. That’s my dark horse trade.

I can see a separate deal with Boston where we take a Cap dump for their 2nd for Reilly and plug him in the lineup next year and try to recoup his value for the trade deadline next year. Boston then can make a move for Gavrikov.

Fun to speculate at least.

How is Luke Schenn getting this much trade discussion and media attention?

He's a fine enough player. I'd be happy to add him for a million ish as a free agent. But he's a physical 3rd pairing guy, not some game changer or minute eater. The last time he was on a contender with Tampa he played 10 minutes a game and couldn't hold down his roster spot. Even now with a troubled VAN team he's only playing 17.

But his name comes up all the time on TSN, theScore, and my google news feed. Why does everyone care so much, and why would anyone even be considering the idea he might return a 1st rounder?

Reilly would be a good candidate for a bounce back and to flip next deadline as well. He does make $4M in actual cash next season though.

He's the Big Defensive D Man that goes for way too much every year. There's always at least one.

Soucy for Kerfoot plus ( please ) ?

he had a bit of a career renaissance with vancouver and proved that he can play a bigger role on the canucks on their top4. he should be a #5 on a contender, but when injuries happen, he can play top pairing in spurts, his game is simple, he is reliable and is a leader. ticks all the boxes for a stretch drive acquisition.

I can't believe this guy is getting as much attention as he is. He is literally a 7th D on a contender but its all over twitter and the boards here as if he is a star. lol

Works for me.

I don’t see why the Senators would trade futures for a rental Schenn. They’re aiming higher than Schenn and are also not in a position to be buying on rentals.

I get that it's the Canucks but he has played like a legit top 4 for most of this year. I'd say he's a 5th d on a contender. Depth wins cups.

Fair enough, I haven't watched any Nucks games this year so my opinion doesn't mean much, I was just going by name lol

Canadian-based insiders focusing on Canadian markets in Canadian media.

It’s a real testament to how little Montreal has to sell this year that a 3rd pairing D is getting this much attention.
