I somewhat agree with what you're saying about the posters here.  There always seems to be a lack of patience.  I'd hold judgement on Schenn until I've seen how nasty he can be in a playoff series.  If he tears opposing forwards to pieces in the playoffs ala Scott Stevens (minus the offense of course), then he's a keeper.  And he's far too young to completely get rid of all of the mistakes in his game.  NHL defensemen usually take years before they are solid, almost mistake-free contributors and Schenn here is learning at the biggest stage.

Right now a package starting with Schenn as a main piece I would be very willing to see put together for Ryan. 

I like Schenn but I'm starting to question the ceiling he has. Its not to say I give up on the guy at all.. just not sure he's as good as we think he's going to be.  Seen a lot of flaws lately that concern me.   Anyway, he's simply not untouchable anymore in my books.  Plus, Cody Franson being around makes it easier to move Schenn.

You know what...  And this may be something for another thread but I agree with you.

I've noticed things I really don't like either that concern my quite a bit.  For one, he's always 'next to a guy' in the crease.  He never takes someone out.  He never ties up there stick.  My friend at work told me to watch out for this and it's incredible.  The guy literally stands next to forwards instead of trying something to take them out.  They get to all the loose pucks and jam away in the crease.

He also has spaghetti arms.  Terrible, weak first pass.  Often right on the offensive guys stick.  He also has no shot.  Nothing.  He sits there and waits, and waits, and waits, and is so slow to get off a slapper.  Not to mention it's virtually non-existent, which is surprising for a guy his size and strength.

He also runs around his own end like a chicken with no head.

Anyways, I've soured on Schenn quite a bit.  He's a decent d-man.  He can hit and block shots and that's about it.  I actually see his skill set as being pretty darn similar to Komisarek.  You know, slow skater, big, hit, block shots, can't pass, can't shoot, runs around own end.  Schenn's career looks right on track.

I think what's taken a few people by surprise is that he often doesn't display very good hockey sense. At times he'll look competent in his decision-making, and then he'll revert back to where he simply looks lost out there... And he's still making the exact same mistakes that he was making as a rookie. In addition to his lack of mobility and non-existent offensive ability, there is certainly reason to be concerned with his development.

New car smell is gone. Get rid of him!

Trade him for Turris.

I hear that guy has 1 whole assist...

If it wasn't for that 1 whole assist the Leafs would still be ahead of the Sens in the standings.
Nice plug Chev - totally irrelevant but I made it work.

Depends on what newspaper you're looking at.  :P

Oh, how I hope you're joking, because, right now, that's the 3rd tie-breaker, after point percentage and regulation+OT wins.
