Every Philadelphia Flyers fan really wants to see Brayden Schenn blossom into a legit top-line player. For one, they could use another winger to create offense. Two, he came over in the Mike Richards trade, and fans have watched him slowly claim a spot in the Flyers top-6.
Despite being a former high first round pick, I have had reasons for to doubt his NHL ceiling. After signing his contract that made him the 3rd-highest forward on the team over the summer, I took a look at Schenn’s NHL development. To sum up, while his production has slowly been ticking up, his shot metrics have not shown the same improvements.
