NHL Rumors: Vancouver Canucks Defenseman Garnering Interest

According to Rick Dhaliwal, the Vancouver Canucks are expected to receive a ton of interest in Luke Schenn as we get closer to the deadline.

Schenn is a pending UFA who carries an easily affordable $850,000 cap hit, so that alone will make teams want to acquire him. However, his extremely physical style of play and immense reliability also heightens his value. Overall, this is exactly the kind of player that contenders should be making a real push for come deadline time.

Schenn has been one of the rare bright spots for the Canucks this season. In 17 games thus far, he has one goal, seven points, and a whopping 76 hits. Let's see where the veteran ends up from here.
