Leaf Rumours

Schenn is not like Pronger, at all. Schenn is better postionally, but lacks Prongers competivness, and nastiness on the ice, as well as Prongers offensive totals. Schenn is like Regher, a guy who can play 20-25 mins a night, provide shut down D, and be a reliable guy on the ice. If you want to compare anyone on the leafs to Pronger, it's Phaneuf. Phaneuf and Pronger are both slightly tall, both have a cannon of a shot, both are nasty hitters, both are leaders, both are chippy, both have a win at all costs attitude.

All kidding aside worm is the shit.

As for the Datsyuk talk....he's not going anywhere. One of the best players in the game IMO and the Wings will take a step backwards if they trade him. The guy brings so much to the table.

Also not sure if he possesses enough testosterone to play on a Burkie team.

Like are we being punked or something with Pronger poster extrodinaire?.....Are there multiple in on this giggling like Spezza on a coke binge?....If so, i give up...you got me.
 
Schenn will become a similar defenceman to Adam Foote, we've said it time and again. If Schenn turns into Robin Regher I'll be extremely disappointed, Regher sucks.
 
Well, I wouldn't go as far as saying that. If Schenn ends up making Canadian Olympic rosters and playing in future World Cups I think it would be hard to describe that as a disappointing outcome given his ceiling.
 
I guess Burke wasn't too keen on Horton, I'd imagine Kaberle+ a 3rd in 2011 was too much for Burke, who probably wanted Horton+ for Kaberle.

I've always been a fan of Foote, and I've never really liked Regher or thought he was ever that good, plus being on the 2006 Canadian Olympic team isn't exactly great.

Plus Foote is also an Olympian. Pronger84 has always sold Schenn short and I can't figure out why.
 
Most hockey fans don't understand how players develop, and are quick to write them off if they're not instantly successful.

Schenn's value, is not to put up godly numbers on offence (though Schenn can probably put up 30-35pts as he matures) - but godly numbers of blocked shots and hits. He'll also be asked to shutdown opposing forwards and plain be miserable to play against.

I've never sold Schenn short, I've always said he's similar to guys like Foote/Regher, a guy who can get 25-30 pts, bring a solid physical game, shut down the other teams top lines. How is that selling him short?
