Overview
- David Pagnotta reports Luke Schenn has not requested a trade but is open to a change of scenery, with interest in joining a contender.
- The Jets are monitoring the situation as GM Kevin Cheveldayoff looks to add scoring help, ideally a second-line forward with term.
- Winnipeg has slumped to last place during a 10-game losing streak, sharpening focus on veteran moves before the deadline.
- Schenn, 36, carries a $2.75 million cap hit until July and has five points in 28 games as his role has dropped to 13:32 per night with recent healthy scratches.
- Any deal is expected to bring a modest return while clearing salary and opening NHL minutes for prospects such as Elias Salmonsson and Tyrel Bauer.
