Coconuts Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I'm hoping we're able to retain him on a reasonable contract but if he goes somewhere for term and security I don't blame him. He's had a tough go of it the last few years and it'd be nice to see him revive his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I thought he would re-up here, for that reason you mentioned, he got that chance and liked his time. Maybe he didn't want to? I'm sure he knew that Canucks were looking for another RD and without knowing if there were other moves, he'd be a 7 or 8 D here,not play much or end up playing in the AHL again? It seems like Tampa will actually have a spot for him to play, maybe in his eye that's a chance to showcase that he can still play and hopefully get a better deal next year?

Maybe seeing his brother win the Cup, it made him realize there's not much time left in his career to do the same, so he hoping to join a powerhouse to do so. Like I said, I don't blame him, but just hope he's grateful for the opportunity that we gave him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomatoes11 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 He is taking a huge gamble. He was left for dead and was well on his way to being a career AHLer. We give him a chance and force feed him minutes like we did with Granlund, Virtanen, and Baerschit because our team is just that poor and now he thinks he is back into NHL form? Huge risk. I believe many a Canucks are done in the NHL once they leave the safety of being good enough to make a bad borderline NHL team because of incompetent management. I think he is going to get a wake up call once he leaves the Canucks and will find himself with a one way ticket back to the AHL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktcy2 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Huge blow. Huge blow I repeat. Schenn is the perfect third pairing guy that we never had. He is one of those guys you need for the playoffs. Can’t we do anything to beat that 700k? I mean, up it to 1 mil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like Schenn can be found for dirt cheap at the trade deadline like a 6th or 7th round pick if we are looking to add depth (see MDZ and the Schenn trade itself). I'm not sure Schenn himself will be effective over the course of a full regular season anyway. He might be okay on a defense where he plays very sheltered minutes though because Tampa will have guys like Hedman and MacDonagh eating up a ton of the minutes.

Just read we offered 900k , but he decided he had a better chance to win a cup in Tampa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it looks like he might be slightly higher on the depth chart in Tampa than he would be here. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhorvat Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Poor guy signs with tampa to win a cup but doesnt realize that tampa will get swept by carolina in the 1st round next season. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I'm ok with it I dont think the team is lacking toughness now and I'd prefer to leave the spot open for Woo to take when he is ready. I honestly think he has proven all he needs to in JR keep him with the team and let him earn Tanevs spot when he gets his annual injury. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other part is that, should the Canucks (likely) play bad defensively this year, that would be very bad for Schenn beyond next season, who was dangerously close to leaving the league for good. Success with the Lightning, far more likely, even in sheltered minutes, would mean a longer NHL career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
