Brayden Schenn
Go ahead, raise your eyebrows, shake your head, do whatever you need to do to keep reading because I’m not sure it is out of the realm of possibility that Schenn gets dealt.
Schenn has been one of the Blues best players since being acquired from the Flyers. He does everything right both offensively and defensively and along with Schwartz, they have been one of the best duos in the NHL.
Schenn would give the Blues the biggest return. He is under contract for another season and is earning $5.1 million a year. This is a steal for the type of production the Blues are getting and a potential package for Schenn would reflect that.
This is the most unlikely player to get traded that will be mentioned in this piece, but if the Blues are serious about restarting and selling off players, a Schenn trade would really shake up the entire organization.
Any team that would acquire Schenn would become instantly better. He would make a middling playoff team a contender and a Stanley Cup ready team, a surefire champion.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Schenn and he is one of my favorite Blue, but if the Blues choose to rebuild, Schenn would be a good place to start.
