If you draft or own Schenn, it is due to his peripherals, as he will never be a PP1 option in Philly.
In a good season if everything is going his way, and he's paired with a true #1 puck-moving defenceman, Schenn could push 40pts.
With PHI having this many injuries at D what do you guys project for Luke Schenn? Will this situation allow him to get some PP minutes as well? I already like him for his peripherals and if he gets at least some more points he should be interesting.... Thanks!

Maybe get some PP2 time here and there. Overall expect him in the 30 point range.
He's a nice mult-catter but crappy in offense only leagues... He'll never be a good scorer.

Yeah he reminds me of a younger Robidas to be honest. Maybe 30-35 point upside, but he's a rock on D. Maybe a slightly more offensive Barrett Jackman...
He might see a bit of PP2 time, but not PP1.
As long as you keep your expectations in check for points, he should be a good own peripherally.

Thanks! I don't expect him to get PP1-time, either, but with his peripherals and 30 points there's enough to like. Would you prefer him even over Faulk (who is still an FA as well) in my kind of league?

grammar Nazi
Noun
(slang, idiomatic) 1. A person who habitually corrects or criticizes the language usage of others, especially in situations where it is unnecessary, e.g. an informal conversation.
Notes: This behavior is almost always found in people with very low I.Q's, whom have a very low sense of self worth. Impotence is also commonly linked to Grammar Nazi's.
you really think he will retire that young. Shenn is the type of guy who will play great D, log lots of minutes in a first pairing, but get a rest on power plays. He may sneak onto a pp1 on a really weak team, but even then temper expectations since they had to use a guy who does not belong there.
As everyone above has stated, he is a great checker, plays good D, but he is not an offensive force, and never really been looked at as one.

I'd expect 250 plus hits, 25-30 points, +15 and 90-100 shots on goal.
Faulk would be my choice in a points only, but in your format I would go with Schenn unless there's a forward out there that can provide the peripherals Schenn does.

I'm with the majority. Schenn will be lucky to post 25 - 30 pts.
