that was ridiculous. i see why Philly traded JVR. he doesn't seem to fit the mold of their top 6 guys. but they should have been able to get way more than Schenn.
- DoubleDown

But but he's only 24. He still has 10 years of development time.

Where did you ask me that? Throw me out who you think are the top 5 defensive defensemen and I'll tell you what I'd have done.

Available or not available?

no way to know.. but i think its safe to say a Vanek-Kadri-Lupul line would score more than one with clarkson.

RC leaned far too much on Kessel ... having a second dangerous line would have helped. Clarkson just killed any offense.
- senstroll

I've said since the season ended line two has to change completely. Benn and O'Reilly to start with

Available or not available?
- lumlums

Either or.

Hell no!
Luke Schenn is barely an NHL dman, an absolute horrible first round draft pick.

i think it's fair to say that Luke Schenn should not have been in the NHL as an 18-year-old and that possibly hurt his development.

Meh. Luke Schenn has always needed confidence.

- senstroll

Sign of poor coaching
RC never tried to juggle the lines
He could have moved jvr down to another line to create another scoring line

Luke Schenn did play under Carlyle.. the year Wilson was fired.. Schenn was traded the following summer
- Dozzer

for what, 10 games in a throwaway season?

Mind you, at the time I was certain Carlyle was going to get the forwards to help the defense more, and get the team to be hard-hitting SOBs.

Schenn probably would have been a beast last season, when that was true.

Suter
Pietrangelo
Weber
Seabrook
Orpik
Chara
Staal
Girardi

That's just a few off the top off my head who are in the top ten, no order

If you're talking two way include:

Keith
OEL
Bouwmeester
Doughty

Luke Schenn wouldn't be in the NHL right now if he hadn't have cost them such a PR disaster. Not allowed to be benched since the coaching change, only play 14 minutes, 3 of which he is told to stand still as much as possible.

Ok so right off the top an Orpik would have been an easy one. Even a Girardi. I think you have a few on their that I'd call anything but defensive. Staal would look good in a Leaf uniform. Burkie coulda been easy pickins for their captain.

are you kidding me? if there is one team that doesn't give a poop about optics it's Philly. buying out Bryz, trading Carter and Richards, firing Lavy 6 minutes into the season... if they really thought he had no value he wouldn't be on the ice.

Fire Carlyle

Trade - Dion, Lupul, Franson and Bozak
Sign - Stastny, Niskanen, Stralman

Franson was bad this year.

But no, he's not worse than Schenn.
Not even close.

I thought Luke played ok last night.

Luke Schenn has the same amount of NHL playoff goals as Jake Gardiner.
