So what defensemen could you get for B Schenn straight up?
- Pelle31Forever


Either an established #3/4 guy with some flaws and may be due for a raise in a year or two or a young, struggling defenseman

Thats why I'm all about a move to get a guy that can tear it up on Coots' wing on the 2nd line. It helps take the pressure off G and the top line but also solves your issue with lack of size/strong board play on the top line.

I'd like to see Read/Couturier/Umberger remain intact for while. I really like that line.

Lefty. The only righty in the system that could project to be more than a bottom-pair guy is Friedman.

I thought Sanheim was a righty...son of a gun

Brandon Gormley seems incredibly attainable after not making Arizona again.

Basically. Flyers are better off keeping B. Schenn unless something great comes along. It's kind of similar to Larsson in NJ, but on a smaller scale. You'll want offers based on Schenns potential, but teams will make offers based on his floor and hope to buy low.

They won't just give him away. Is he really worth a 2nd rounder?

Eric Brewer's in the lineup tonight for the Lightning; not sure who came out of the lineup for him -- maybe he's being showcased, if PSG's on point about his availability

At least Schenn has shown more flashes than poor Larsson. Unless somebody wants to over pay, or give up significant draft pick assets for a veteran, there's no need to do anything rash.

Expecting a bubble season all along, I don't mind seeing a rough go. I just want to be sure that they have a long term vision that they won't sway from

I wouldn't say trash. Schenn and the players that Schenn could bring back have value. I just don't believe Schenn would be the centerpiece of a large deal that brings back high level talent.

Only other option would be to trade Schenn for a disgruntled player who a team just needs to unload. Evander Kane or Ryan Kesler type of situation.

I didn't think it'd be pretty, but I thought this was a 95-point team

But that was with all hands on deck -- never in my worst nightmares did I think Schenn would look this bad through three games
