So unless Schenn absolutely dominates in training camp and has absolutely nothing to learn in juniors, I say the Leafs should just keep Schenn in Kelowna and finish out his WHL eligibility. <BR/><BR/>Plus, I want to see if a chunk of Canada goes missing when Schenn bodychecks into Cowen. I expect both of them to be standing, while the entire rink is destroyed.bkbladeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14993067848904779017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195552724241707724.post-55928357411632097112008-07-16T10:16:00.000-04:002008-07-16T10:16:00.000-04:00bkblades: That's a good point.

Maybe we let Schenn hit some clowns in the A so as not to use up a year of eligibility.<BR/><BR/>The Marlies seem really poorly run from a player development standpoint though, see: Justin Pogge. That's what makes me nervous.Chemmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15876764848455502787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195552724241707724.post-17530236306947528022008-07-16T02:10:00.000-04:002008-07-16T02:10:00.000-04:00To be honest, Schenn should only get a nine game t...To be honest, Schenn should only get a nine game tryout with the Leafs at the absolute most this season. There are just too many defencemen under one-way contracts with the Leafs to risk Schenn losing a year under Leafs property. Especially since there's a carousel of d-men vying for the 6th position even without Schenn in the mix. <BR/><BR/>Going from junior to the NHL, even the AHL, is a huge step. I just don't want a Luke Richardson or Tom Kurvers 2.0, a Tuke Kurchardson of sorts, by rushing Schenn to the big time when he still has junior eligibility left. <BR/><BR/>Of course, all bets are off if and when Schenn takes out McCabe at training camp. After all, someone has to stop him for scoring in his own net. I'm also assuming Colaiacovo hurts himself clapping in glee when McCabe goes down. Of course, White is nowhere to be found since no one under 5 feet tall is allowed to be with the Leafs.bkbladeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14993067848904779017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195552724241707724.post-81383097876673872712008-07-14T16:44:00.000-04:002008-07-14T16:44:00.000-04:00carlo may be made of glass, but he's got to play t...carlo may be made of glass, but he's got to play this season. <BR/><BR/>kabby/kubina<BR/>colaiacovo/finger<BR/>stralman/frogren<BR/><BR/>white as the 7th<BR/>schenn as the main man down on the farm<BR/><BR/>all this, of course, pending a mccabe trade.<BR/><BR/>otherwise, i don't see frogren getting ice time. stralman and colaiacovo both need to play, and a lot, this seasonNavin Vaswani (@eyebleaf)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08445618400360263938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195552724241707724.post-35586319543667412532008-07-14T16:27:00.000-04:002008-07-14T16:27:00.000-04:00Oh fuck, Frogren.Oh fuck, Frogren.Chemmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15876764848455502787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195552724241707724.post-74125269599625461642008-07-14T16:26:00.000-04:002008-07-14T16:26:00.000-04:00This would be my three pairs as of nowKab-KubFrog-...This would be my three pairs as of now<BR/><BR/>Kab-Kub<BR/>Frog-Stral<BR/>McCabe-Finger<BR/><BR/><BR/>I forget what side Stralman prefers, but by default Frog plays the other side.mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031995641107500484noreply@blogger.com
