Luke Schenn

[Man Bear Pig]

We have so many options on D, Why would we bring Schenn back? We have actual talent in Lilgeren,Sandin and Lehtonen looking for minutes. If you want a #7 dnan we already have Marincin eating popcorn in the press box.

Post draft 2009

Burke states that he could’ve moved up to spot number 2 and drafted Hedman if Schenn was in the deal.

Man oh man what could’ve been

Preferes the physical guy ah
That’s burkie

When Zach Bogosian and Luke Schenn are both drafted within the top 5, that was seriously a weak draft.

Until you realize we could have drafted Karlsson, Carlson, Josi, Gardiner instead.

But those guys weren't good big tough Canadian boys and everyone knows you don't draft soft puckmoving euro/us dmen with top 5 picks.

Can the zamboni driver play D?

Yes, if we compare to Marincin.

I heard he sucks at eating popcorn too

Leafs actually have great depth at D. Schenn wouldn't crack the roster. Dermott, Bogo, Lehtonnen. Great depth.

IIRC, Brayden Schenn was in the same draft as Hedman and Luke Schenn was drafted by Fletcher.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Too slow for our team.

Pierre Mcguire was so excited when big name was announced as the Leafs picking him.

id rather have anyone writing on these message boards than marincin FFS

You couldn't afford me.

 

[Stephen]

Imagine if he actually developed into the top pairing, RH shutdown guy that that was sold to us when he was drafted. He'd be a highly experienced, perfect fit to play beside Rielly.

It's too bad, honestly.

It’s crazy how after his rookie year Tampa actually made the Hedman pick available to the Leafs for Schenn and the Kadri pick and Burke said no because he was after John Tavares.

All these comments about schenn remind me of the comments made about bogo

 

[nuck]

All these comments about schenn remind me of the comments made about bogo

Yes I would agree but the key is they don't need two of them and Bogo's little bit more puck skill makes him the better fit.. If Bogo broke a leg maybe but as is, they have better options at 7-8 using players with the potential to be part of the clubs future. Only to keep Marincin out of the lineup would I add Schenn but thankfully they have a lineup of guys to do that now.

The Leafs draft "what ifs?" in that 2004-13 period will make your blood boil

I agree i just hate people shiting on player like that

 

[The Man with a Plan]

I swear we have this same conversation every year

Some folks are obsessed with going backwards in time. He never came close to his potential when he was young and in his prime...wtf would we want with him now? Slow down Sandin or Lilly taking a spot they deserve more then LS?

IIRC, Brayden Schenn was in the same draft as Hedman and Luke Schenn was drafted by Fletcher.

Yes you’re right on both points. If they weren’t able to move up, then Burke wanted Brayden Schenn. There’s a video of him shaking his head when Rob Blake drafted him.

Okay. Thought the Schenn in your post was referring to Luke due to the thread topic. I believe this was the Kadri draft? Hedman is obviously on that upper tier. Happy at least that the Leafs eventually ended up with that year's top selection in Tavares.

Yes it was Kadri’s draft year. Burke publicly stated he wanted to draft Tavares that year and that he was going to do everything outside of trading Luke Schenn to make it happen. Kadri played with Tavares in London for the draft year.

I remember the sens really wanted Kadri at 9. There’s a video of Burke and Brian Murray where Murray wanted to flip picks to land Kadri. You should watch it it’s kind of funny haha. He’s like no we are taking him lol.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Why o why are we even having a thread about the slightest possibility of Luke Friggen Schenn remotely having the slightest of chances of us signing this player to join our team ...
Do we not have enough things to bull shhhhh about ...
Cmon ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...
Let’s please move on from this and also the constant talk about our previous coach here
Paleeeeeaseeee !!!!
Go Leafs Go
Let’s dry up those oil wells

 

[TheProspector]

Back in 2008 my comment was, why are we drafting a guy who is going to be a journeyman level defenseman like Luke Richardson with a top 5 pick? Now he’s a dime a dozen veteran spare part. So the price and expectations would be different.

It was an utterly appalling draft pick.

I'll always remember that situation and video with Ottawa and Kadri! I just couldn't recall if Burke was seriously entertaining/anywhere close to options other than selecting Kadri in that draft.
