I haven't watched him so I've just gotta go off what his scouting report says and he sounds exactly like a Gudbranson. It's no secret that he brings zero offence but he's supposed to bring size, leadership, and not too terrible defensive play. Pouliot supposedly brings some offensive skill but awful defensive play easily offsets his whopping 8 pts. I feel it's about stick side. Schenn is an RHD. Pouliot is LHD. TG is the type of coach that likes to pair lefts with rights. I'm sure if there's an opening on the right that Schenn will grab at the opportunity, though we also have Biega.

Both are marginal players at this stage in their careers. Still, I give the edge to Biega given that he’s already familiar with the players on the roster and coach.

Pouliot supposedly brings some offensive skill but awful defensive play easily offsets his whopping 8 pts. Schenn is sloooooow and can't move the puck particularly well. Gudbranson is a good skater for his size. Schenn has played for 4 teams in the last 4 seasons. Something tells me he just can't keep up anymore. Not to mention Pouliot plays LD and Schenn is RD. That's pretty much how the team/coaching staff likes to play their D-men. On their natural side. So comparing the two is rather moot. Schenn is nowhere near an upgrade on Tanev, Gudbranson or Stecher. Hell I'd even say Bulldog Biega is far superior to Schenn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kushman Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Is it just me or does Luke Schenn look like a younger version of Liam Neeson when the camera has his side view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced he should be on any NHL team. but you're convinced Schenn should be. apparently you've never seen either of them skate - something that matters when it's a game played on ice.

oldnews Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Refreshing to hear a guy that has had an NHL career still appreciate his gig in the AHL and the fans that show up to support teams in the development league. I'm not a believer that Schenn is ever going to crack the Canucks lineup - but that's not the point of the deal in any event (it was to get a pick and move MDZ to an opportunity). He's already far more likeable than Gagner - I'll be pulling for Schenn and imagine he's going to be liked by his team-mates and that fanbase.

I don't believe I ever once said Schenn should be in the NHL. I said "might be a 6-7" not he should be an NHL defenseman. I don't think Schenn should be an NHL d-man. I also don't think Pouliot should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you say that wasn't really the point of the deal. If he gets a new deal for next season he might be able to compete for a 7/8 spot if he shows up in great shape.

Actually, knowing this team, that's probably more possible than I've suggested lol If that did happen though, it wouldn't be pretty - tank nation would probably bake themselves some cupcakes.

I was thinking more next season, maybe the odd injury call up. Seems like a good guy to have around the kids in Utica tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
