Rumor: Russo : The Wild have a lot of interest in Luke Schenn

[UrbanImpact]

Russo leaked this info a couple of days ago, and now Dumba is a healthy scratch in Minny today. Might Dumba be on the way out and Schenn on the way in for Minny. Not saying its a trade between Van and Minny just that both these players are likely to be on the move very soon.

[Bobby9]

Canucks fan who would be happy with Minny 2nd and a B level prospect

 

[Gurglesons]

Why though?

 

[dbaz]

Clearly boeser and schenn for Dumba

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Now Russo's to be believed?

 

[UrbanImpact]

Why though?

Schenn makes league minimum, stanley cup winner, leads the league in hits, playoff style player and a very solid 4-6 Right Shot Stay at home Dman.

Now Russo's to be believed?

This is a Minny leak so im not sure how credible or connected Russo is with them.

Vancouver side, we've heard all year that there is a lineup of teams wanting Schenn

How does Minnesota re-sign Horvat with their buy outs(14M)?

but why do the wild need D?

 

[Brodeur]

Why though?

I suppose to shore up their penalty kill? Their unit was 25th in the league last year and in the middle of the pack this season. Jared Spurgeon is leading their D this year in shorthanded TOI and maybe they'd like to alleviate some of those minutes?

We'll see if it's a situation where they send out Matt Dumba (healthy scratch tonight) in a separate deal and bring in a replacement? Reminded a little of the 2000 Devils, they traded for Vladimir Malakhov then dealt away Lyle Odelein a few days later. Dallas was in a tough spot last year where they ideally didn't want to lose John Klingberg for nothing but would have to find a replacement. Sounded like they shopped Klingberg while simultaneously kicking the tires on Jeff Petry, but it ended up not making sense for them.

The nice thing about Schenn is his cap hit (850K) wouldn't preclude a team from making other deadline trades.

UFA, Schenn replaces Dumba on defense and gives them a veteran via playoffs.

Russo is Minnesota guy, when he says something about the team it's at the very least worth considering.

Sounds like Russo is the Dhaliwal of Vancouver

As for the trade, i think it would take a 2nd/3rd round pick to pry Schenn out..

but with Rutherford saying he wants younger guys ( U24) over draft picks, I'm not sure which player for the Wild or their system fits that similar value of 2nd or 3rd round pick.

 

[57special]

Not sure why MN would need, or want, Schenn, except for the fact that he's dirt cheap. He is, at best, a RH Middleton who is 7 years older, and is a UFA.

Maybe as a short term fix for the right side if Dumba is moved out?

I could see Greenway/Beckman for Schenn, but it's not a must. They've got Goligoski sitting on the bench as is... Guerin is in love with toughness, so it's a possibility. Wish he was more in love with speed, and offense. I mean, they've got Reaves, Foligno, Duhaime, Middleton, Shaw, Dumba, Hartman, Dewar who can all fight. Do they really need another guy like that?

I don't know why you have to disrespect Kaprizov like that. He can fight as well!

That's the key for a cap restricted team like us - but also why I don't see us beating out offers from other teams. I think Schenn is going to bring the Canucks a really nice return and its going to be too rich for my taste.

Troll???? they have been looking for a top 6 C for like 5 years.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Troll???? they have been looking for a top 6 C for like 5 years.

And a top goaltender for just as long.

Minnesota doesn't want bo Horvat. To put wallstedt in there is delusional. Minnesota isn't trading a 1st for rental. Your a leafs fan or whatever you are trolling

 

[57special]

Has anyone ever seen Nathan Horton and Sebastian together? They feel like the same person.

And a top goaltender for just as long.

And now we’ve got one, and hopefully, two in a year or so

You shut your damn mouth errrr… power down your keyboard. Wallstedt is going nowhere.

 

[MuckOG]

I think the Wild keep Dumba for post season depth and let him walk as an UFA this summer.

Ya, like how did Wallstedt slip into this conversation?
