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.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

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.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

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

 

[chuckt]

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.

Vancouver. Organization loves the Schenns.

If Soucy went the other way it's actually quite feasable .

Not sure what the blues would want I wonder if Dak a 1st and a 3rd or 2nd? Or instead of Dak maybe Mynio or Kudriatzev (sp) and picks?
With how solid our D, goaltending and overall team defense is if we could just get a top six forward that clicks with EP or anyone really this team could do very well in tight checking playoff hockey.

Lekkerimakki - EP- Chytil/Schenn
Boeser- Schenn/Chytil- Debrusk
Sherwood -Suter- O'Connor
Hogz - Blueger- Raty/ Linus

Hughes- Myers
Marcus - Hronek
D-Petey - Schenn/ Forbort/ Mancini

If Copp or Compher were going the other way then I’d be down

 

[Hockeypete49]

They already did a reunion in Philly and it wasn’t particularly thrilling.

Is this now a last hurrah?

Disagree. They were good together in Philly. And to think there was a time when Luke was going to be the face of the leafs.

 

[Petes2424]

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.

With the Cap rise, your $5-$6 million 3Cs will become the norm again, like they used to be. Schenn is the perfect guy to have in that role until Danielson, Lombardi or Kasper takes that spot for good, then he’ll move to 3C for the rest of his contract.

There’s also a Tarasenko part to look at here. Maybe Schenn also gets Tarasenko going.

Anyway, he’s a much better fit than Copp or Compher in that role. That said, McCann might be an even better fit but he’s also likely be more expensive.

With the turnover of Detroit’s roster this coming summer, adding both Schenn’s in those veteran roles, does make some sense. Plus they won’t have to spend stupid money July 1, and there’s going to be stupid money spent for sure.

I assume Detroit will also visit the Cozens thing and other younger fits too. They’ll also cost more too.

So we’ll see, but the Husso $5 million they gained today, makes the Schenn thing much more possible. Detroit and St Louis do like dealing with each other as well. When I had heard a few days ago that Detroit might be after Schenn, I shrugged it off because of the term, but Detroit can still handle some term before they have to pay Kasper and Edvinsson. So we’ll see.

Luke Schenn - Future captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Time to fulfill the prophecy. God knows Burke tried to get Brayden way back when

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Vegas would be more likely here.

Vegas: Brayden Schenn (50% retained by St. Louis)
St. Louis: Nicolas Roy, Trevor Connelly, 2nd 2026, and 3rd 2025

Vegas: Luke Schenn
Nashville: 2nd 2025

 

[VanillaCoke]

Leafs hundred percent

Done, no take backs.

I want absolutely nothing to do with Connelly, nor those picks.
