Confirmed with Link: Luke schenn for 2nd ‘26 + 4th ‘27

[Buffdog]

I wish...but the Jets seem to have Schenn as their #5. Maybe Stanley comes out.

Right after they acquired Schenn, it was Stan that came out of the line up if I recall correctly. They gave Fleury a game with him then I think Pionk got hurt and it all went to shit

Right now, I'd take Stanley - Miller as the bottom pairing... they did ok all year vs what we're seeing now. But I don't think the org would aquire a vet like Schenn and not play him

Schenn sat a game at the end of the year.
Likely his old body is banged up.
We saw him have some games where he was more effective and delivered some nasty hits.
We've seen a lot less of that in the playoffs.
He likely would and could benefit from being in a rotation.
Heal and rest him up a bit.
At home we could shelter the bottom pair pretty well.
Not so much on the road.

Jets in this series with Luke Schenn on the ice at 5v5 or Even Strength:
3 GF - 10 GA, -7

Jets without Schenn at 5v5:
8 GF - 8 GA, +0
Jets without Schenn at Even Strength:
10 GF - 8 GA, +2

I hear Buffdog warming up his keyboard to point out I'm using GF in a small sample. Well, it's pretty relevant to the Jets being headed to Game 7. But here are the rest of the numbers:

Jets ES	CF%	FF%	SF%	GF-GA	xGF%	SCF%	HDCF%
W/Schenn	47%	49%	46%	3-10, -7	52%	49%	47%
w/o Schenn	55%	55%	53%	10-8. +2	60%	58%	58%

What a complete liability! And that's not even mentioning his terrible penalty differential.

Schenn's net penalties: -6

Entire Jets team net penalties: -7 (so -1 without Schenn).

The best thing about Schenn is the Jets have only given up one goal on the penalty kill when he's been out there and they're 0-5 when he's not on the PK. But since he's personally responsible for nearly 18% of the Jets penalties in this series, it's probably a bit of a wash.

But overall, it's hard to believe how significant a negative impact he's had as a sheltered 3rd pairing defenseman.

I fully expect him to be in the lineup tomorrow because that's how the Jets roll...unable to identify problems and unable to address them.

The worst part is that I can't seem to recall many of his penalties that are "worth it", he could have done stuff both in terms of on ice impact and/or impact to Blues players that would make the penalty worth it but he hasn't

Eh, Toffoli no doubt was a disappointment in the playoffs. Renting a 30 goal winger for a 2nd and 3rd? I still do that deal every day.

It’s between Hayes and Schenn, and to me Schenn “wins” hands down.

 

[The Blue Baron]

I take Tiny Eyes and the Derp over Heavy Schenn any day. He sucks.

When we got him some pundits said he was 7D depth, but we aren't playing him like that

 

[jungles]

What would be the downside of putting in Miller over Schenn? I can see them for Comrie over Helle in game 7, but I can see none for Miller over Schenn.

Pionk went out one game after Schenn started and was likely playing injured before the trade.

It's possible, probable that the Jets don't get the President's Trophy without Schenn playing top 4 in Neal's absence.

Pionk getting surgery/rest has made him effective in this series.

I feel bad for Colin Miller though, he played well, came back from a pretty scary injury during the season. But Scotty is a special teams coach and he didn't like having a 3rd pairing that wasn't contributing to special teams, or negatively contributed in Stan's case. He's has more leniency towards Stan because of the impact hits and I would suspect Stan rated higher in passing efficiency than Miller, but not by any significant margin and definitely not under pressure.

Maybe there was an opportunity to play 7 d at times, but that's a lot more coaching, and few choose to coach that way. I think Miller and Schenn could have been tried too. But c'est la vie.

Sunday the Schenns are going to meet in the handshake lines, one brother will prevail.

I have no ill will towards Luke Schenn whatsoever. So many people turned down this organization at the deadline. He came to play, a hard role. Near the end of the road.

If he is back next year I'd like to see the Jets split the responsibilities 50/50 between him and Miller. Keep the vets, including Melo, under some load management.

I hope Salmon is pushing for a spot after Christmas.
I'd also take a long look at Luke on the left side next season.
I see no reason why we can't be platooning players all season long.
