I'm going to miss Schenn, he's a beauty Nashville. Even though his contract isn't good, I'm sure you fans are going to look beyond that and fall in love with him the second he steps on the ice

Terrible contract.. what is Trotz doing? Bought out Duchene to overpay for a 3rd pairing defender.

Normally this is a fine contract for a 3RD, but Schenn is too old for the term and money to be a good idea.

Hot take:
As a Preds fan, I LOVE this signing. It's a lot of money, BUT, we get McDonagh a partner that he's played well with. IMO, it's no coincidence that Schenn is signed for 3 years as that is the same amount of term as McDonagh has left on his deal. We get another vet to protect our younger guys up front. I'm also a Nucks fan, and I LOVED what Schenn brought. Nice to see he goes to my other fave team.

Good for him, he's had such a rough career, good to see him get one last payday for retirement.

The contract is 1 year too long.

AAV doesn't matter much in this case.

When you put together their series of moves, they basically traded Duchene and Johansen for O'Reilly and Schenn. The buyout and the retention opened up the cap space to sign these two at a similar term to when the original players. would have been on the books. This points to a major culture shift both on and off the ice. They are trying to add big or hard to play against players who are strong veterans in the room.

The cap goes up dramatically 2 years from now. This seems to be a mix of a rebuild and retool for Nashville. If they get 1 good season out of Schenn, I'm fine with this move. By good season, I don't mean just on the ice. Culturally in the room and with how they play on the ice.

They have a former long time coach as their new GM. They just brought in a generational character guy in Mark Borowiecki in an off-ice role. It's pretty clear what direction they are working in.

Wow! That's not a good start at all for Trotz as a GM. Johansen and Duchene for O'Reilly and Schenn for such AAV? I have no idea what's Trotz doing here.

Wow, love the player, hoping he would fill a gap in Buffalo actually. I think this is an overpay though. Good for Luke though.

My thoughts exactly. I was really hoping the Canucks would be able to sign him for about half that. That said, I'm more than happy he's getting paid.

Considering the other D signings today. This doesn’t look as bad anymore.
