As a Kings fan who saw how Luke was playing in 2016, it’s astonishing to me that he’s still in the ‘chell.

 

[EP to Kuzmenko]

I wonder what the return would be. Would like a 2nd, but probably a 3rd. He is good with Hughes though, so would also like to keep him.
He is having a pretty decent year so far. Playing well above his contract.

 

[kanucks25]

I'd be fine with a 3rd.

As long as his coaches can make sure he keeps everything simple and defers to his partner for getting the puck out, he's serviceable.

 

[Peter Griffin]

I’d rather keep Schenn and dump Hamonic/Poolman but that’s likely not happening. A 3rd is probably fair value especially since he’s signed thru next season at a very reasonable cap hit.

 

[LaVal]

Other than Hughes, the only other Canucks defensemen worth his contract. He plays really well with Hughes, is signed for 1 more year at 850k, and is on a team in need of more RD, not less. Since his value is higher to Vancouver than his trade value, I don't see a point in trading him unless Vancouver acquires an upgrade on RD in another trade. He can't be worth more than a 3rd or 4th rounder so what's the point if you're just opening up a hole on D.

Schenn would be an acceptable depth add. 3rd rounder next year or something.

 

[Stephen]

I've been thinking he would make a decent Bogosian replacement.

Schenn for Holl?

Jk.... Unless?

Schenn has been outstanding (take a look at his stats if you must). Fills a huge whole on our right side, provides toughness for $900k for this year and next.

Not sure why the Canucks would move him, we need more guys like him, not less.

Hasn't done too bad for himself, winning a couple of cups with the 'ning

Seems to be a solid D for multiple teams since then. Probably helps how the league has somewhat slowed down since 2016.

 

[Richard88]

Figure Colorado must be looking at him too. If he can play a solid defensive game next to Quinn he should in theory be able to do it next to Girard as well.

 

[WTFMAN99]

I was ahead of my time last week.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

No interest in trading him for anything less than a team’s first born.

 

[These Are The Days]

Come back to Tampa Bae.... miss you Schenn

 

[inthe6ix]

weird since Bruce seems to love this guy

hits a lot and he's got him playing close to 20 min/night

doubt it's just to showcase him for a trade

Maybe Keeper comes back takes his spot and you get an asset?

 

[nergish]

Makes zero sense to trade Hughes’ extremely affordable partner right now, at least for anything less than a 2nd.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Nice Bogo replacement

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Schenn for Holl?

Jk.... Unless?

Unless… you meant Holl for poolman, in which case yes.

 

[Nucker101]

If they're just getting offered mid-late 4th rounders from teams, might as well keep him. He's been a better fit than Myers and Poolman next to Hughes and he's signed dirt cheap for next year as well

 

[Mrfenn92]

Don’t really see a reason to move on from Luke

 

[deckercky]

Schenn for JVR

The last time the Leafs were really interested in Luke Schenn, it didn’t work out so well.
