If Luke Schenn Stays, Who Leaves?

If Luke Schenn makes the Toronto Maple Leafs squad for the full 2008-09 season, who leaves?

With every game, Schenn is giving coach Ron Wilson more and more reasons to keep him on the Leafs.

With an even plus-minus and his ability to hit anyone who crosses his blue line, it's hard to say goodbye. Although there wasn't much good to take out of the 6-1 loss to Montreal, Schenn showed leadership and maturity beyond his years when he dropped the gloves for Matt Stajan, when Stajan took a dirty hit from behind from Andrei Kostitsyn.

Schenn didn't want Andrei Kostitsyn to think he could hit someone from behind without suffering the consequences. This shows how much heart he has.

So what do you think: Will Schenn make the Leafs? And if he does, who goes and why?

    Schenn will be sentdon after 9 gmes or so, if he's not the buds are rushing him. If he where to stay No one would go the lineup would stay the same, Ian white would stay on forward and the d would be the same a t is now

      I think the leafs should keep Schenn up for the season but maybe let him return to junior hockey to lead team Canada for the World Junior Championship. Schenn has arguably been the leafs best defense besides Tom Kaberle of course but Luke looks very comfortable and i think he is ready for the NHL, the leafs won't be rushing him if he stays

    Both of you are right it's 50/50 really he should stay but it could backfire keeping him at the same time.
