Rumor: Leafs interested in Luke Schenn

Would that actually improve the Leafs that much? Paying Amirov a 1st and a 2nd to realistically marginally improve the team seems like an absolutely terrible idea.
He's a 2 dressed up as a 9. The guy caves under pressure and costs his team game after game since he's been in the league. He is the opposite of clutch. A major disappointment. And he is much slower now. He is terrible in his own end now, and that is saying something because he is a D man.

Schenn is what we need for a D-Man. Can eat minutes, is physical, signed for another year at a sub $1mil cap hit and is defensively sound. He can play up in the lineup as well.
Garland is probably one of my favourite players outside of the leafs. Physical and Chippy (even though he is smaller), and plays a smart defensive game.
He is also signed to a sub 5 million dollar cap hit for the foreseeable future.
I honestly am pretty happy with our prospect depth and am very confident in us being able to obtain skilled players in the 2nd round of the draft and beyond.
Maybe I’m offering TOO much, but on HFBoards as a leafs fan it’s better to be safe than sorry in these situations.
EDIT - I would also like to add that in this situation Holl would also have to be traded since there wouldn’t be any room for him. I feel he is probably worth at least a 3rd, if not a 2nd round pick which could be used to recoup any assets lost in this trade
This rumour has BS written all over it. Dubas spoke yesterday and literally said they are not looking right now and is happy the way the team is built. Leafs rumours are BS

Is Vancouver looking to trade as much as everyone seems to think? It doesn't really line up with who they hired.

This is just gross.
The 2nd is an overpayment for Schenn..
So two firsts, and a player outperforming Garland... for Garland? I mean seriously?
This is a Miller type price... not a Garland.

Why so serious?
As a Canucks fan not overly interested in moving either garland or schenn… would have to be an overpayment to even consider it.

So all the Toronto expendables, late first and B prospect for what Canuvks gave up for Garland which was 9th overall pick and OEL 100 year contract? Is that the best you can do? Doesnt really solve any of the Canucks problems. Would rather trade Garland for Lysell of Bruins.

Sounds good, you get a 2018 3rd round pick + a picture of Sandin to hang in the VAN locker room

I thought he was just fine during his time here. Would’ve brought him back even.

No he didn't. He just said that he wants more time to evaluate the team at full health (lol rip Matthews) before he decides what they need. That doesn't mean he hasn't been kicking tires on certain players.

Probably a last resort/depth option. Dubas usually finds a way to add a quality piece but after the dust settles if Holl of Dermott move to bring in a better d Schenn could make sense. He might be too slow for thus team.

Trading Schenn makes 0 sense for Vancouver. Their fans can correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't they been looking for a partner for Hughes pretty much since Schenn left for Tampa? You've got a guy who wants to be there, plays well with your stud, and is signed for another year at basically league minimum.
I'm not saying Schenn is a guy that you don't trade, but it should take massive overpayment because of how good a fit he is

I'll believe it when I see it. Teams usually avoid re-treads, for whatever reason.
I would believe that the list of players Toronto is looking into is a long one though.

Basically this… and schenn is only $850k with another year on his deal. So why rattle Hughes (again, he never has a consistent d partner)? So barring an overpayment we may as well just hold on to schenn for now. He’s out played his contract value to date anyways.
