Unlikely but possible.
In the year before his breakout season Richards was:
59 GP 10 Goals 32 Points
pretty much identical to Schenns numbers last year:
47 GP 8 Goals 26 points.
Schenn actually had slightly better PPG and GPG in their respective 4th seasons in the league but the numbers were pretty much identical.
What would hold Schenn back from hitting those numbers this season is that he has to share his PP time a lot more with the roster they have then Richards would have in his breakout season.
IMO this would be the best possible time to trade for Schenn. He seems primed to breakout offensively and already plays a strong 200 ft game but due to high expectations, getting surpassed on the roster by Giroux, Lecavalier, Coutourier at C, and by not having great offensive numbers yet he is undervalued.
