Depth on the blue line is always welcome and Schenn would be a low-cost option. The Saskatoon, Saskatchewan native only has an $850,000 cap hit, which would be perfect as the Bruins dance around that cap number of $82.5 million.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"XoHqEOq6TitW6aAXijx2DQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1246434134\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'XoHqEOq6TitW6aAXijx2DQ',sig:'M-KrOC4JIRo4avds0-7tk9PlT8_ygWWw6Z3cMS_kdmc=',w:'594px',h:'344px',items:'1246434134',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Vancouver may <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2023\/01\/08\/best-vancouver-canucks-trade-pieces\/\" target=\"_self\">not be calling it a rebuild,<\/a> but there are some pieces to be had at the deadline with the right deal. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2022\/11\/26\/trading-bo-horvat-causes-a-problem-for-vancouver-canucks\/\" target=\"_self\">Names like<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/horvabo01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-01-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bo Horvat<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/boesebr01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-01-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brock Boeser<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2022\/12\/06\/nhl-rumours-brock-boeser-trade-return\/\" target=\"_self\">have been rumoured,<\/a> but Schenn could also be on the move.

The former two-time Stanley Cup champion would be good on the bottom pair or an extra defender. One never wants an injury, but getting Schenn would be a nice contingency plan.
