"Back in Toronto for a few days after a redeye from LA. As Chychrun Watch continues, another name to keep tabs on, as I noted on @TSN360, is Luke Schenn. Lots of talks this morning that things are getting close there. CGY/BOS still in mix, heard TB is out. Price: 3rd RD pick +"- David Pagnotta

Initially, it was reported that the Tampa Bay Lightning were the other team that was interested in Schenn's services, but according to Pagnotta, the Tampa Bay Lightning are now out of the running for the 33-year-old defenseman.

The Vancouver Canucks, on the other hand, are still looking for a third-round draft pick in exchange for Schenn.

Luke Schenn is a two-time Stanley Cup winner and is an experienced defender and on top of that also has an affordable $850,000 salary cap.

Considering all these facts intact, it remains to be seen whether the Bruins will get the deal done first or will it be the Calgary Flames or if we will see the entry of another club in the discussion.

As of the writing of this story, the 33-year-old defenseman has played 52 games for the Canucks this season and has managed to accumulate 18 points on three goals and 15 assists.

Apart from Luke Schenn, the Vancouver Canucks have been busy receiving calls from various teams for the services of Tyler Myers, Brock Boeser and Conor Garland. It also remains to be seen where these players will end up in the trade deadline.
