Confirmed Signing with Link: [ARI] Luke Schenn (2 years, $1.25M AAV)

[SeaOfBlue]

Here come the Stone to Toronto proposals.

Or the Z. Michalek to Toronto proposals. Wouldn't be ridiculous if we could move out Hunwick so Marincin plays bottom pairing instead of top pairing with Rielly.

Cap would have to go the other way too.

 

[rt]

Assuming he's at least a slight upgrade on Michalek this gives AZ a top six of...

OEL-Murphy
Goose-Stone
KConn-Schenn

And then all of Michalek, Dahlbeck, Tinordi, and DeAngelo as pro depth. That's some serious cash tied up in reserves. Another move HAS to be coming. That's way too much money for your 7th-10th D when you're a budget team.

 

[Kalost]

Murphy or Stone to Oilers please

 

[1971kingsfan]

Great, I had to put up with him in LA and now in AZ. The guy is a pylon. He's out of position constantly. He excels at screening his own goaltender though.

Wait, so Eklund was wrong?

SHOCKED.

To be fair, Eklund said "talking to".
This does not prove in anyway he was wrong!

Schenn..slower than a bear.

Bears can sprint over 30 mph...

A bear with no legs then?

I'm glad he signed within the division. Guy is slow at everything and often puts himself in bad defensive position.

 

[Srsly]

Schenn for 1.25M is a good signing. He's a big body that dishes out hits like anyones business. Hopefully the Coyotes can pair him with a smooth skating defensemen capable of a good outlet pass to cover his other deficiencies. I'm happy to see him get a chance in the league, he always seemed to be a decent character guy and I was really hoping he'd amount to more than he has.

Good for Luke. He is a stand-up guy and well respected in the locker room. To bad his foot speed sucks and that was a main reason he became something of a whipping boy here in Philly( we always seem to have one). You could do worse as a bottom pair d-man and do not expect anymore than that.

Here come the Stone to Toronto proposals.

sure Stone for Marner or Nylander works

 

[KingsHockey24]

Going to a division rival? Perfect.

He's terrible.

I'd expect him to play on the bottom pair with Connauton.

OEL-Murphy and Goligoski-Stone will get 90% of the even strength ice-time. KConn will get some PP shifts and Schenn will get some PK shifts. Overall, I expect KConn and Schenn to have extremely limited TOI/GP.

It's Eklund, there's your proof.

Nice deal for everyone involved and not involved.

 

[Group Chat Legend*]

Very serviceable #5-#6

id disagree. maybe for a bottom ten team but there are plenty of other 5/6/7 options id take miles before Schenn.

theres a reason he hasn't lasted on any teams 5/6/7 to date...

for 1.25m seems to be a serviceable enough.

Yes, team's don't like tying up 3+M cash and cap in a 5/6/7 dman. They sign them to deals of 1.5M dollars or less, typically.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Very nice deal for the Coyotes

 

[KingPuckChoo]

So LA let's Schenn & McBain go

and keeps Greene & Scuderi

i know it's UFAs vs players still under contract, but still...

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Very nice deal for the Coyotes

always liked Schenn and i liked him in LA too

he's an ideal #6D

Schenn..slower than a bear.

bears are pretty fast

 

[The Madrigal]

Schenn cant play, at all, at least they didnt pay much.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Schenn..slower than a bear.
