Speculation: Luke Schenn

[Leon Draisaitl]

Any rumours of where he might land? I figure he'd be a good fit for a couple teams, surprised to see him still out there TBH.

Cant skate, poor foot speed. AHL bound

 

[Vatican Roulette]

Oh Jesus...

Don't do it Holland.

 

[Leafs87]

You're surprised he's still out there?

 

[Marlander93]

Europe bound.

 

[Mike Martin]

Schenn is still an NHL player but he needs to take a pay cut if he expects to stay in the league, he is not worth what he's been paid.

 

[WTFMAN99]

1.5-2.25M for 3rd pairing guy and you'll be happy

More money or bigger responsibility and you'll be disappointed.

 

[izzy]

Any team needing a decent minute eater to relieve the pressure off the younger players should be able to bring him in for cheap.

 

[SpezDispenser]

I have a feeling it'll be ottawa. Not my first choice, but for a third pairing guy on a short term, it wouldn't be the end of the world.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Doesn't Burke love this kid?

 

[Leon Draisaitl]

You're surprised he's still out there?

He's definitely not worth the contract he previously had but as a ~1.5M 3rd pairing defensive defenseman he's pretty good.

[Random Forest]

Luke Schenn is definitely an NHL player. The failure to live up to his draft position and hype doesn't detract from his ability to play a regular shift and provide solid support on the bottom pair. If he comes in at <2mm AAV, a team will be getting a pretty solid value player.

Roman Polak got that spot.

Doesn't Burke love this kid?

Maybe when he drafted him he did, doubt he values him as much anymore, not to mention he's not a GM.

Five years ago the Leafs almost made the playoffs with a top four of Dion Phaneuf, Keith Aulie, Carl Gunnarsson and Luke Schenn. That's how good rookie Reimer was.

 

[Hally BlackWood]

Nj might have a use for him.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

he's not as bad as some make him out to be

agreed what happens is once someone is on a bad contract so they get devalued. Then even when they are a ufa , people think of player based off his last contract rather then his play on the ice. At the right price he would be a solid guy to have around.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Not he's not, he's the GM's boss

If we could move out Wideman, I'd jump all over him.

Only a blind man would love his game at this point. He can't skate, is clueless in the defensive zone and puts himself in bad defensive position on most plays and screens his own goalie on most plays. I don't care where he signs as long as it's not in LA. Would love to see any team in our division sign him.

 

[go4hockey]

Your right he is worse than most people make him out to be. the only thing to like about his game is his physical play. Most everything else he is poor at.

The Leafs were 10th in the conference in 2010-11, and 8 points out of a playoff spot. How is that almost making the playoffs?

 

[JarvisFunk]

Gryba's still out there, and a better player.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Schenn hasn't been good for a while. And his lack of speed make him useless if not outright counter-productive to most teams as the league shifts towards a larger emphasis on skating.

Would be great to see him sign with the Canucks or Oilers though.
