Could Luke Schenn Return to the Flyers?
Eleven years ago, the Philadelphia Flyers made a trade that ranks amongst the more questionable moves they’ve made. James van Riemsdyk was a rising young star on the team who had some issues with then head coach Peter Laviolette. He was dealt to Toronto for a young stud defender who had a lot of hype coming up through the juniors. His name was Luke Schenn.
Schenn was seen as an up and coming defender with a high ceiling. He was a star defender with the Kelowna Rockets and was seen as one of the top North American skaters entering the the draft. The Toronto Maple Leafs selected him with the fifth overall pick in the 2008 draft.
