""There's already some rumblings around that they're even looking at a third trip through with Luke Schenn right now," he said. "Obviously at this stage of Luke's career, I think that the acquisition cost would be more modest and worked really well with him and Morgan Rielly. So we'll see if that's something that comes to fruition, but certainly have heard some talk in that direction.""
""This wouldn't be the first time the Leafs attempted to bring back the shutdown defenceman, as S portsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on an episode of 32 Thoughts The Podcast on January 9th that their pursuit of Brayden Schenn hinged on the Leafs also acquiring his older brother in a separate trade. When those deals fell through, they instead shifted their focus to acquiring Scott Laughton and Brandon Carlo, which they were ultimately able to achieve at the 2025 Trade Deadline.""
Toronto Maple Leafs are exploring adding Luke Schenn to reinforce the blueline amid inconsistent team play and uncertainty over Chris Tanev's availability. The club prefers a puck-moving defenseman but is willing to prioritize overall defensive depth. A third stint for Schenn would likely carry a modest acquisition cost and could complement Morgan Rielly's play. Limited tradeable assets make a familiar, lower-cost option appealing. Earlier efforts to pair Brayden Schenn with his brother collapsed, and the team instead acquired Scott Laughton and Brandon Carlo at the 2025 trade deadline to address roster needs.
