We need one more like that. A big rhd 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would we be without him this year…he is our only guy out there that can add some push back in that department. I hope he plays his contract out here and if he’s still useful sign him to 1 year deals going forward till he’s done. He calls BC his off-season home, so I bet he’s willing to do it as long as his game holds up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that train has left, with his age... but even a his pace, there is room for him on this team. We don't have anything close him... If he was fast, he make a heck of a lot more cash... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnAntoski Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I liked him, during his first stint but I am happy, he got a ring and his contract is prefect (another, JB gift). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guys a keeper My respect for Luke Schenn went up during his first tenure with the Canucks and has grown more on the 2nd go around. Every game he steps up with his physical game but also his vet smarts that allows him to play a solid-side game. That said Van still has to move him if the offer is good enough. Where is Hamonic’s head? Schenn is a solid 3RD behind Meyers and Hamonic. But the development curve demands that this position is filled by a younger player who will develop with the team towards Cup contention in 2 years.

DownUndaCanuck Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Surprisingly, Schenn leads the Canucks with a +12 which is a career high for him too. Quite mad considering our team is a -8 on the year (sure that includes PPG and the player's +/- doesn't, but it's still quite noticeable). We really should find a way to lock him up long-term because as he gets older he can bolster that bottom pairing and play either side. I'd like to see him emulate what he's doing with Hughes now with Rathbone in a year or two's time - hopefully by then we have a stud top righty to play with Quinn. In a year or two's time this would be an idea defence: Hughes - top RHD (trade, UFA?) OEL - Myers Rathbone - Schenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Wouldn't be surprised if several contenders went after Schenn, he was serviceable enough for Tampa and he's shown well Not that I consider Toronto a contender Edited February 23, 2022 by Coconuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've already paid Mitchie ~40 million of his contract money so they'd be walking away from all that upfront investment. I just can't see them retaining money on him after doing that, and he's not worth the cap hit. Yes he's a ppg player but he's softer than butter on a warm afternoon. He's a twig.

I doubt it, but given Schenn provides far more value than he's paid to I wouldn't be surprised to see a team pay a good price for him I like what he brings, but there are few players I wouldn't move for the right price Contenders are the teams most likely to throw around assets to push them over the edge, and there's no time they're more willing to pay a high price than closer to the deadline If he was a piece that helped facilitate a larger deal happen I wouldn't hesitate Edited February 24, 2022 by Coconuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 What value Schenn? He has played a lot of minutes this year as a top four D-man. He has to be moved for the right price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's likely not a long term option because of his age, whereas contenders aren't thinking long term as much as we should be right now.
