"Currently averaging just over 13 minutes of ice-time, Schenn is the perfect addition for this team. The team's right-side of their defense-core took a huge blow with the Chris Tanev injury and hasn't fully recovered since, so they're desperate for another right-handed d-man. Schenn is 36-years-old now and is slow, but he's still 6-foot-2, 225 pounds, so his size and hockey IQ will go a long way on the team's blue-line."
"Troy Stecher has been a fantastic addition this year so he can still play on the team's second-pairing, but Schenn would be a great replacement for Philippe Myers on the third-pair. He returned for the playoff run in 2023 and played well beside Morgan Rielly, so you can rely on Schenn to do the same thing this year and fit seemlessly into the line-up."
Toronto Maple Leafs have shifted from potential sellers to buyers after winning seven of eight games with only one regulation loss, moving back into contention and sitting one point outside a playoff berth. The team needs one or two roster additions to secure a postseason spot. The preferred strategy is to reacquire former teammates rather than chasing major stars. Luke Schenn offers right-handed defensive depth, size (6-foot-2, 225 pounds), and playoff experience while fitting a third-pair role. Michael Bunting offers scoring history with multiple 23-goal seasons, though his $4.5M cap hit may require a creative swap.
