I think most people realize that Schenn hasn't reached full potential, but I don't think offensively he will grow that much. He basically will be a great shut down defenseman who will get 20-30 points. .
You're right, Schenn will never get close to Stevens' offensive numbers.
Here's my beef - you say he will be a great shutdown d-man. I, and many others, say he's already a great shutdown d-man. We agree he's 21 and will continue to improve for many years. Let's say he peaks at age 26. That's 5 more years of improvement. Let's say his offence peaks at 30 points. Where will his defence peak? He's already dominant down low, and has proven his dominance against the best (literally) players in the league. Forget offensive growth for a moment..what will his defensive growth yield? Something scary I'll bet, considering the player he is at 21.
He's been playing for 3 years already because he was ready coming out of juniors. Hamonic wasn't. That's the difference between them..its not a matter of random circumstance.
