Well it's true, now that he's waived, he'll be staying at home.
There is absolutely no way that the Leafs claim Schenn, and Schenn isn't as good as Holl. He hasn't been an NHLer for years.

Sure, but let's not act like he didn't have a decade in the league to lose weight and work on his skating.

You're right in that we dont have any intimidation, but the leafs forward group has surprisingly been more physical than I thought.
Hyman/Kadri/Kapanen/Johnsson/Leivo/Gauthier are all pretty feisty.
But defensively you're right, I dont think we have that toughness. Especially from Oziganov who has shown no signs to even make a body check. At the very least, Luke Schenn gets a look in Oziganov's spot but if he sucks, just waive him again.
I've also been advocating to trade for Gudas at the trade deadline, assuming Luke Schenn doesnt get claimed and/or just plain sucks

I really always like Schenn. I loved his physicality and willingness to stick up for teammates. I didn’t find him that bad as a player either and was quite impressed with him in Arizona at times where I watched. Him over Oz in Babcocks system could be interesting and it’s a waiver pickup at the end of the day a free asset.
Our forwards can hit yes but when it comes to someone answering the bell it’s not there and our forwards and quite small and wouldn’t want them fighting anyways. Kadri the one one who could shouldn’t be fighting.
What a 2018 it’d be with JVR back to the flyers and Schenn back to the leafs

Luke the "Human Eraser" Schenn, "best defensive dman in the NHL" during his tenure in Toronto? How the mighty have fallen.

Lawl. At least the Leafs salvaged some value out of their 2008 draft pick. Instead of having Ryan Spooner to show for it

Agreed. Ducks want to see more of the AHL callups. Schenn wasn't garbage like Sustr. Schenn brought some physicality to the third pair, they should have kept him around.

Dallas and Boston are both hurting with D injuries, but I dont see Nill claiming him. We already have the legend that is Polak

What value? JVR went for free and you did not win the cup, I say, it was still a nice trade

Winning the cup is now what determines what makes a trade good. Good to know.What value? JVR went for free and you did not win the cup, I say, it was still a nice trade
NJ is probably very angry over their Hall for Larsson trade now that it is labelled a bad trade. What a day for sports!
