To start...Schenn is not close to Orlov as far as value.
He's a veteran, depth D-man. 6/7 on the depth chart for most playoff teams.
A 3rd would be more than fair for what he's going to bring in return.
With that said...it sounds like Tocchet is a fan....Schenn wants to stay in Vancouver...and he has a baby on the way. The nucks will do what's best for the nucks...as they should....so he certainly isn't 'untouchable' by any stretch of the imagination...but I can definitely see them setting a higher market value on Schenn since the value of a 3rd round pick likely isn't enough to move a guy they like, and wants to stay.
They probably have discussions with him to see where, if anywhere, he would prefer to go and see if they can make something happen that makes sense for everyone. That's what good management would do, anyway
