The Canucks have made a decision on Luke Schenn yet
Rick Dhaliwal: Agent Ben Hankinson on Vancouver Canucks pending UFA defenseman Luke Schenn: “Does he re-sign in VAN, could he re-sign with VAN in the summer, does he get moved for a good return. I have talked with the Canucks about a lot of possibilities when it comes to Luke, no decision yet.”
Nick Alberga: Have been hearing that the Boston Bruins and Calgary Flames could be the leading contenders for Vancouver Canucks defenseman Luke Schenn if/when he becomes available.

Because I don’t think anyone is anticipating the Canadiens all of a sudden turning things around and being left Cup contenders next season. You have to be realistic about the situation.
