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

[_Del_]

Is the Yotes D crowded now? What about a Milan for Zbynek deal? Gives the Coyotes depth and the Leafs a better dman than Hunwick.

I'd think about it

 

[SniperHF]

BAD backup goalie signings that Maloney was making the last couple years?

Que?

Only the Lindback one didn't work.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

It seems to me that most players get monkey crap thrown at them because they take on rolls that do not suit them, and then fail miserably. Schenn should make a very serviceable third pairing player for the Coyotes, adding some strength and toughness to the team. I think that he was asked to do more than he was capable of doing in LA and in Philly.

Huh???

In Philly he was asked to be a defensively responsible 3rd pairing Dman. He played behind Coburn and Streit...then Gudas once Coburn was moved.

He was not asked to do anything more.

 

[Currysux*]

ah sure, ignore my 5,000 posts on what i really think of Schenn, McBain, Greene, and Scuderi

but to recap, all 4 suck but in order or less sucky to more sucky:

1-Schenn
2-McBain
3-Greene
4-Scuderi

that's all i said



i think you'll be disappointed once you catch up on some Kings News

Lmao I think you will. He was placed on unconditional waivers in the event that the Kings would need the cap space to sign Lucic. They weren't able to sign Lucic so they didn't buy out Greene.

 

[MardyBum]

Small risk, could be a good reward if he comes in shape and ready to go.

I'd have rather signed him than Strait, ugh.

 

[biturbo19]

Seems like a very solid deal for some solid defensive depth, brings a physical presence and a RH shot. Hard to go wrong paying a decent bottom-pairing defenceman bottom-pairing money.

For the most part in LA he was asked to play 3rd pairing minutes and was very bad at it. I'm thrilled he signed in the division and now just hope he is in the lineup every time we play them.

 

[ponder]

Mediocre 6/7D getting mediocre 6/7D money. Doesn't bring much other than strength and physicality, but he IS very strong and physical. Also brings OK hands and generally safe plays with the puck.

On the other side, though, his skating hurts him a lot, making him a liability offensively, and in some situations defensively too. A decent signing for the Yotes, but nothing special.

 

[LeapOnOver]

About 2 years and 2.5 million too much for him...

LD Kudla (Dubuque USHL)
RD Stewart (U of Nebraska-Omaha NCAA-NCHC)

 

[leaflover]

Coyotes have done a nice job revamping their defense. Once some of the high end forward prospects develop they should have a strong team.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Stone to Ottawa, unite the bloodline.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Remember when he was the next Adam Foote?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

 

[Go Wings]

So LA let's Schenn & McBain go

and keeps Greene & Scuderi

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

I wouldn't want any of the 4 at this point.

I'm not 100% sure wood is ahl bound, I think we have the ohl or ahl option. Otherwise looks good.

 

[Rebels57]

Serviceable as a #6 RHD

Is DeAngelo expected to make the team? Schenn would be an ideal partner for him on their bottom pair.

 

[Mosby]

Schenn and DeAngelo are both RHDs

 

[izzy]

Stone to Ottawa, unite the bloodline.

Prob not, he broke out last year and that wouldn't make any sense for Arizona unless it was a huge overpayment

 

[Siludin]

Schenn..slower than a bear.

Bears are very fast

 

[Keith Sweaty]

about 2 years and 2.5 million too much for him...

lmao

 

[Blitzago*]

He was acknowledging that Greene wasn't bought out, and correcting that guy.

You should work on your reading comprehension.

We're severely void of both strength and physicality so this was a low cost roll of the dice to try and shore that up. If he's good enough to get on the ice and help us in those areas, great. If not, it's not like we blew a ton of cash/cap space on him.

 

[Redline]

Really not a bad fit for Arizona and not a whole lot of risk.
