It looks like Luke Schenn will not be inked to a contract extension this week.
"It's more of an August issue," said Don Meehan, Schenn's agent. The two sides might be waiting for Leafs assistant GM Claude Loiselle to return from vacation. Schenn had a great 2010-11 season and it should be just a matter of time before he inks a contract extension with Toronto.

Luke Schenn's agent, Don Meehan, thinks that he'll be talking to the Leafs about a contract extension in the "near future."
Schenn is the Leafs only remaining restricted free agent. He doesn't have much fantasy value, but he's blossomed into a great defensive defenseman. He led the team in both hits and blocked shots with 251 and 168 respectively.

Luke Schenn, who will become a restricted free agent on July 1st, isn't likely to sign a contract extension in the near future.
"There doesn't appear to be any urgency from their side," said Leafs GM Brian Burke. "They'll probably wait and see if other teams sign contracts that they think will help them. He's obviously an important player for us and it will get done at some point but I don't see any urgency to do it here." Schenn doesn't have much fantasy value, but he's a great defensive defenseman. He recorded 251 hits and 168 blocked shots in 82 games with the Maple Leafs last season.
