Friedman and Marek on the Marek show:
Friedman hints and speculates that Rutherford is getting alot of calls on Schenn
Also some paraprhasing quotes
Friedman- "The way Schenn plays is treasured and marveled by every team in the NHL."
Marek " every team trying to win a Stanley Cup will want this guy"
It seems Schenn's value is at an all time high.... should the Canucks trade him now whether they are in a playoff hunt or not?
Auction would probably start at 2nd round pick.
I'd take Schenn on Edmonton's terribly inexperienced D-core any day of the week.
But if he's so "treasured and marveled" and "every contender would want him", then why was he essentially the 7th D for Tampa Bay, playing 8 and 11 games during their playoff runs? Was he injured?
Even then, why did he only play 9 and 10 mins a night when he was healthy! That's an exceptionally low time-on-ice for a guy you trust.
Even in Vancouver he's only playing 17mins a night. So I dunno... is this still a guy you can rely on in transition, or is he more likely to get PK action and spot own-zone duty when trying to get the puck and get it out.
