What if Luke Schenn turns out to be a bust? Consensus is that he's a can't miss stopper, a stud, a d-man you can build your team around, which is all well and good and I happen to think he's a great pick by the Leafs, but what if that doesn't happen?
It just as easy to be jingoistic and laud the pick of a western Canadian boy who is of substantive stature as it is to pan the pick of a undersized European defenseman.
