Schenn was drafted fifth in 2008 by the Toronto Maple Leafs and was then dealt to the Philadelphia Flyers in 2012 for James van Riemsdyk. He spent four seasons with the Flyers before bouncing around teams for a couple of seasons which included a brief stint in Vancouver in 2018-19.

Yet, Schenn spent the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons with Canucks before being dealt at the deadline to the Maple Leafs. In total, he spent about two full years with Vancouver.
