Friedman: Brayden & Luke Schenn Combo

[God]

If Vancouver had a team like last year's, then sure. But everything's gone wrong this season due to locker room drama, and using assets to acquire two 30+ players is not in the team's best interests, particularly when neither are going to help the team score.

The other thing is that acquiring Luke Schenn, as much as I love the guy, would create a logjam on the right side and they're probably looking to open a spot up for Willander to take next season.

He's better. Are we trying to win a round here or not?

Are you sure he is better? He has 10 more pts than the other 2, but he is also -7. I don't think he is much better, unless one of them is going to St. Louis in the trade. He is also going to be 34 at the start of next season, while Copp and Compher are 3-4 years younger. I don't want a bigger contract for an older player who isn't having that great a season.

How does he help us win a round anymore than the other two? St. Louis missed the playoffs the past 2 seasons with him and might miss again this year.

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

You can never count Vegas out but they’re pretty stacked on the backend. that’s also quite a bit to be giving up for a 33 years old. They’d go after McCann if that’s what they’re gonna be paying and it’s still probably too much. That’s a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd, and adding Roy. A hell of a role player.

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.

1. Is he better than both when he's 36?

2. You still have to likely pay to get rid of one of Compher or Copp.

With the cap going up a disagree with point #2

I think Schenn would be a good replacement for Nelson on the isles if he goes to free agency

Why would Vegas give up a 2nd round pick for Luke Schenn? Who would he unseat from their top six defenseman? He wouldn't' even play for them, it makes no sense at all.
