Flyers general manager Ron Hextall says it’s too early to judge the Brayden Schenn trade that he made with St. Louis in June.
Way too early.
“Ask me that question in five years,” Hextall said the other night. “We traded Brayden for futures, right?”
Schenn, 26, is having a career season with the Blues (26-15-2), who on Saturday afternoon make their first visit to the Wells Fargo Center since he was traded for two No. 1 draft picks, including a conditional selection this June, and Jori Lehtera.
Used mostly as a winger during his two seasons under coach Dave Hakstol, Schenn has flourished at his natural position, center.
