Scoring at a 29-point pace, providing decent defense and amazing leadership. Don't give him a long deal at that price, but two years wouldn't be bad. At 33 years old though, it's probably his last decent paying contract. I would consider letting him go due to his age and our window, but I feel like Schenn is exactly the kind of guy you need mentoring young new players. Me neither, he's a better player than Erik Gudbranson and he just signed a multi year deal for 4mil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a non sensicle contract. However Gudbranson is in demand because he's likely the toughest guy in the league that can still play the game ( however limited ) and so there's competition for his services 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Crazy that he really wants to be re-signed here. He's won it and done it all, I guess he just wants a nice city to live in now, a relatively easy job, and be a bit of a mentor for a young growing team. I know a 2nd round pick coming back could be tasty (even turn out to be a defencemen like Allen) but if we don't change this defence, we don't really have anyone to play his minutes. I can't see us rehauling the D. Burroughs has been dreadful lately, if Schenn's gone then we're really in trouble next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason why Luke Schenn is a 3D and would likely be sitting most nights for most NHL teams. He makes close to the NHL minimum. Yes, he he is a great guy, good team mate and plays a physical game. IMHO he does not fit the canucks time line and should be traded on an offer. Sign him back as a 7/8 next year if there is no younger option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet those same fans can’t understand if Schenn is that level of D (which I believe he is too) that Hughes shows his greatness by carrying Schenn in top pair minutes.

It's kind of like when we had Alberts back in the day - though Schenn is even more effective. Without him, we don't have many players who can lay out the hits. This team needs to get faster, sure, but it needs to get bigger too. Moving Schenn just because he isn't a standout talented guy is short-sighted. He's a great leader (especially important since Bo left) and makes a difference out there. He's also reasonably defensively responsible, and oddly manages to generate more points than Myers. Speaking of Myers, I would be happy if we could move him for future considerations, to be honest. To me, he eats up a lot of cap for very questionable play, and doesn't hit like he should for a guy of his size. In any event, he is done after 1 more year, and it isn't like we're going to be instantly competitive next season anyway. Two years at 1.5 million would probably fit both sides well. After that send him to Abbotsford as a coach to gain some experience. His passion for the game and mentoring abilities would be an asset for the Canucks system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes is a brilliant offensive defenseman, but he does need a solid defensive partner to shine. Schenn has done a great job of providing that for 13-14 minutes even strength a night. However, that's also one of the biggest problems with this defense corps. Until Hughes has a defensive minded partner that can play with him 18+ minutes at even strength this team is going to struggle. After hearing Schenn's agent talk about coming back in the summer I'm even more of the mind of just get whatever we can for him. If we can re-sign Schenn in the summer, even a 4th round pick would be valuable (though I'm obviously hoping for more). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Maybe not quite as good, but Schenn gives me Mitchell vibes. Not a terribly long tenure in Vancouver, but made some big time fans while he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Schenn's points-per-game of 0.29 in 139 games in Vancouver is higher than with any other team. Other close ones are LA (0.26 in 43 games) and Toronto (0.24 in 310 games). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his TOI was about 16 minutes. The Laffer d-side game will sink them. Bringing Schenn back doesn't make much sense considering his age and the need to spend his TOI on younger players. Chances are Luke will be retired by the time Vancouver contends in a serious way. Would want him hired to stay within the org after his playing days are done.

Yes pragmaticaly I would have to agree but on the other side I think he could really help any younger D-men that make the team. Could probaly be got for 1.5 mill tops and you can't put a price on character.( oh I think I just did) Either way totally agree with your last sentence.

You bring Schenn back as a theoretical 3RD and then who do you sit for the 15 minutes of TOI he would burn? When I say that I am assuming Bear is 1RD and Honrek is 2RD. I question whether Bear is a top 4 d-man but many think he is. A resigned Schenn would bump Burroughs and squeeze out Juulson and Woo. We don't know what deals will happen this summer or who Allvin ends up drafting. It will be interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
