Schenn has agreed to a two-year contract with the Arizona Coyotes today. He's only 26 years old and had 4 goals and 12 assists in 72 games with Philadelphia and Los Angeles last season.
The new Coyotes GM John Chayka called Schenn "a good, young defenseman and will be a solid addition."
I think at this point, the Arizona Coyotes are just begging to get things turned around. The good news is they're trying to go young with their players, which means they're trying hard as ever to get good additions they know will pay off. The only thing about Luke Schenn is that he really hasn't been anywhere long enough to make a dent in the league. Plus, a two-year contract with the Coyotes is not really that promising either. I understand that the Coyotes are trying to get as many players as they can with the salary cap, but having Luke Schenn is somewhat of a short-term rental, rather than a long one. Maybe they're looking to see if he can really make a full impact with the Coyotes. If not, he walks in free agency in two years. If he can, he'll have a long-term deal.
Right now, the Arizona Coyotes are still up in the air. They could go either way. The Luke Schenn signing, to me, doesn't signal any movement forward yet. Maybe it will, but until it happens, all I can see is another signing by the Coyotes that can go both ways.
