He’s had to play in a top pairing role because of the sorry depth. But playing next to a puck mover and skater like Hughes helps some of his warts, and all of a sudden he’s more competent, albeit he ideally should be providing his services on your third pair. Put him next to a mover on the bottom pair and he will hit, kill pk, defend well, and move up the line up in a pinch if there’s injuries.
« Schennsation »there was a good one back in the day called "Schennanigans"
I remember when Luke played against us in November and he smoked our LW every time he carried the puck up the ice.
I guess one could love a terrible trade if you like the personality and character of the player. Maybe it's not terrible trade then? Schenn is depth, he will get games in down the stretch, but it's really him and Holl vying for the last spot. We will have injuries, that's why you need a bunch of decent depth. I would have preferred to keep Sandin for that reason, but maybe he would become a distraction in the dressing room? who knows how things are behind the scenes. If things get too rough for Holl, you plug in Schenn, if an offensive D man goes down with injury, you have Gustafsson to run the PP. McCabe or Geo get injured, you have someone ready to come in without looking at Mete or Kral.
It was an excellent trade and exactly what we needed. Dubas has had a fantastic couple of weeks.
He'll 100% be in the top 6. We've been adding leaders to this team to get through the playoff gauntlet. Zero chance Holl makes it above Schenn. It undermines everything management has done this last two weeks.
I have a signed puck my wife bought me for proably $10, not even sure why because I was "meh" on Schenn. He is gone the same year too lol. Time to dust that sucker off! This is the new and improved nasty Schenn!
He only played in 19 of 49 games in those 2 runs while averaging 10 minutes of ice time. He only played 1 game in the 2 final series.
