SCHENN TRADED BACK TO TORONTO
The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired defenseman Luke Schenn from the Vancouver Canucks for a third-round draft pick in 2023.
What does it give the Toronto Maple Leafs
Schenn returns to his original organization but is going to play a depth role for the Maple Leafs down the stretch. With Toronto going all in this season, Schenn is just the latest of a series of moves designed to make some noise in the playoffs this spring.
What does it give the Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks have been selling off assets for some time now, so it is no surprise that the moved Schenn at this time. Vancouver got good value in return for the pending UFA in the form of a third-rounder in this year's draft, which is expected to be very deep.
Fantasy impact
There is no fantasy impact here, unless hits and blocked shots are a major aspect of a fantasy league. Still, Schenn will have to share time in Toronto down the stretch. Pass.
