Well, Schenn was brought in way too early in a system that didn't exactly benefit his skill set. I don't think he's as terrible a skater as some are saying, his choices at times seem like the paramount issue to me.
Something that gets lost in all this is that he experienced a couple significant injuries in his first year, one to his eye and another to his knee that precluded him from training much in his first Leaf offseason. Coupled with the notorious sophomore slump and his age some regression was more than expected.
In spite of that his ppg improved every year and he's maintained an upper tier physical presence. It's more than fair to be patient with him and see what he might learn in a real defense first system.
