Winnipeg Jets defenseman Luke Schenn has been linked to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and there is no denying that a reunion could be interesting.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have seen numerous players come through their roster over the years, including defenseman Luke Schenn.
Schenn spent many years in Toronto before leaving. He eventually came back for a short stint, and now, he plays for the Winnipeg Jets.
However, with the Leafs in need of a right-handed defenseman, it seems as though Schenn is back on the Leafs' radar.
It wouldn't be the easiest move for the Maple Leafs to make, and there have been some rumblings about whether or not Schenn would even want to come back.
Luke Schenn speaks on the rumors
Recently, Schenn was on Leafs Morning Take, where he was asked about the possibility of someday returning to the Maple Leafs franchise.
It was here that he noted just how passionate the fanbase is, and how that is actually a complete and total blessing.
It's such a passionate fanbase which is awesome. I mean I've taken my lumps there from fans and the media, but on the other side of it; the love they show you and it's the best feeling in the world.
I look at it this way. When people care this much? That's what you want.

For fans of the Maple Leafs, the Luke Schenn situation is going to be one to watch, especially with the trade deadline fast approaching.
It is going to be interesting to see who the Leafs target and if they are able to get the guys they have been circling for months.
If not, then one has to wonder whether or not this roster can endure an intense finale to the season.
