The St. Louis Blues made a heck of a discovery when they acquired Brayden Schenn from the Philadelphia Flyers. It’s not as though nobody knew he was a good player, but the Flyers certainly didn’t think he would be this good when they got rid of him.
Flyers fans are likely still wondering why it happened. Schenn was not in a contract year and was not breaking the bank. The only thing that makes any sense is the Flyers were desperate to gain that draft pick.
As good as Schenn, and the entire team, was at the start of the season, this recent cool-down proves that an additional piece would not be a bad thing.
