After a sub-par and inconsistent sophomore season last year Schenn has been absolutely tremendous since Game 1 of this season and has never looked back. The best part is, this kid is only 21 and he's in his third year with the Leafs! He's a homegrown talent who Fletcher went to great measures to ensure was drafted and has been thoroughly developed right out of Junior with the big club. He is truly a cornerstone player for this franchise due to his consistent steady effort on the defensive side of the game and his exciting budding abilities on the offensive side. Schenn has the perfect frame for a defenseman, a great skating stride and hits like a truck -- a lot. He is future captain material and his apprenticeship under Kaberle has done wonders in improving his offensive awareness while I'm sure being on a Phaneuf-captained Leafs team is teaching him a lot about what it takes to lead a team. He has so much upside that he is still discovering, it's truly an exciting pleasure watching him improve game after game, and season after season. | > > | 11-23-2010, 09:49 PM | #[**4**](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showpost.php?p=29139570&postcount=4&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | > | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | > | [Cool Beans Man](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/member.php?u=53249&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Registered User [![Cool Beans Man's Avatar](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/image.php?u=53249&dateline=1357790911 "Cool Beans Man's Avatar")](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/member.php?u=53249&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Ontario Posts: 3,451 vCash: 350 | Luke Schenn has been the Leafs best player this season IMO. It's what we expected, and we're lucky to have him. Who got drafted 12th that year again? | > | ![Cool Beans Man is offline](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/images/statusicon/user_offline.gif "Cool Beans Man is offline") | [![Reply With Quote](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/images/buttons/quote.gif "Reply With Quote")](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=29139570&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | > > | ![Old](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/images/statusicon/post_old.gif "Old")11-23-2010, 09:52 PM | #[**5**](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showpost.php?p=29139617&postcount=5&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | > | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | > | [Leafs4life1996](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/member.php?u=104868&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [![Leafs4life1996's Avatar](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/image.php?u=104868&dateline=1293163700 "Leafs4life1996's Avatar")](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/member.php?u=104868&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Join Date: Jun 2010 Location: Highway 401 Country: ![Canada](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/images/misc/flags/Canada.gif "Canada") Posts: 1,742 vCash: 500 | Luke Schenn has been playing amazing, thank you ![](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/images/smilies/smiles.gif "smilie") | > | ![Leafs4life1996 is offline](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/images/statusicon/user_offline.gif "Leafs4life1996 is offline") | [![Reply With Quote](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/images/buttons/quote.gif "Reply With Quote")](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=29139617&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | > > | ![Old](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/images/statusicon/post_old.gif "Old")11-23-2010, 09:55 PM | #[**6**](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showpost.php?p=29139660&postcount=6&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | > | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | > | [JacobimMugatu](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/member.php?u=88026&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Pepper Your Angus [![JacobimMugatu's Avatar](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/image.php?u=88026&dateline=1323243518 "JacobimMugatu's Avatar")](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/member.php?u=88026&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: Vancouver Country: ![Canada](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/images/misc/flags/Canada.gif "Canada") Posts: 2,526 vCash: 500 | One big stat you missed, ES TOI tied for 1st on the Leafs, 6th in the NHL the only players in the NHL with more ES TOI/game are Duncan Kieth, Lubomir Visnovsky, Brent Seabrook, Zdeno Chara and Kieth Yandle. Of these players the only one with a higher +/- than Schenn is Zdeno Chara. That says something. | > > | 11-23-2010, 10:19 PM | #[**11**](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showpost.php?p=29140068&postcount=11&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | > | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | > | [hockeyfanz](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/member.php?u=93688&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Registered User [![hockeyfanz's Avatar](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/image.php?u=93688&dateline=1348255437 "hockeyfanz's Avatar")](http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/member.php?u=93688&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Join Date: Nov 2009 Posts: 5,713 vCash: 500 | Awesome Post....Schenn is awesome...love the kid.
