St. Louis Blues forward Brayden Schenn would likely rather be playing in the NHL playoffs with his NHL team right now. Instead, due to several stumbles by the Blues along the way, Schenn will have to settle for playing in the IIHF World Championships.
Any time you can suit up for your country, it is an honor, especially in Canada. However, the World Championships always come with the sting of knowing you’re not playing for a Stanley Cup if you are playing in that particular tournament.
Such is the issue for Schenn. He had a fantastic season in his first year with the Blues after being traded from Philadelphia in the offseason.
