Schenn is at best a 5th defender. Usually a 6th. He worked great with Rielly for two main reason. Reilly tends to work good with defenders that are above the their weight class. IE hainsey, Lyubushkin, Brodie. At the same time, near the end Hainsey was having trouble keeping up with Reilly, ditto for Brodie this year.
Point is sample size was small for Schenn as it was 13 games in the playoffs. Hard to guarantee a great pairing over a full year.
Reality, Schenn would struggle as much as Brodie. Making little improvement and now we are stuck with a contract for next couple years.
