Friedman: Brayden & Luke Schenn Combo

[Rare Jewel]

I just don't see the fit with the Leafs these days

And that's the long and short of it.

Brayden as a 3C is nice, but @ 6.5, with potentially JT getting 7? No thanks, got to go cheaper, and Luke is a no-go. Been there and done that twice.

The Leafs for one of them could make a bit of sense (Brayden in particular) but not both. Their combined cap is over $9m so it would need retention on both and Nashville has one retention spot, with Nyquist the obvious player to use that on at the deadline.

St Louis retaining for multiple years seems unlikely also.

It all depends how much money the blues would be willing to take back.

You have to think one of Kampf or Domi would be going back for cap purposes.

I do think the Leafs do something fairly big either way.

As a red wings fan I want nothing to do with 6.5 x 3 more years for brayden. We are trying to get away from the copp and the comphers, not add more. I’d rather just try and sign Brock Nelson in the off season to a short term deal. As for Luke I mean yeah he’s an upgrade, but we are probably going to target younger guys. Justin holl is such a negative for us right now that getting someone who could potentially be another one of those for us is a huge risk.

I can see Wings in on Brayden Schenn

2nd, Veleno and Husso (cap dump, Blues might take him back incase they move Binnington)

The Wings might be in but the Blues would not be for that offer.

I'd take Luke on Detroit but Brayden still has 3 years on his deal at $6.5M.

He’s still better than Compher and Copp. If he was between DeBrincat and Kane instead of either Copp or Compher then wings have a legitimate 2nd line.

Detroit just dumped Husso’s contract….. Opens up a nice chunk for Detroit and allows Anaheim to trade Gibson

I think Schenn has positive value with his current contract. I would bet he would get 6.5 and at least five years if he was a UFA this off-season. WIth the cap going up, he will be a positive player for the length of it.

Because of this, I don't see the Blues trading him as I don't think anyone hits them with a substantial enough offer. He's extremely versatile and will always have a role as he can move down the lineup if he slows. His attitude and leadership are of value to the Blues as well.
