Brayden Schenn

[chy1127]

Number 1 ranked prospect as of April 2011. Grade is an 8.5. JVR was an 8 and Giroux a 7.5. If he is the real deal we could have a very sick top 3 young guys.

All of the sudden were very young on offense and old on defense...lots of young defenseman in the draft...dont be surprised...

For those of you who are not ESPN Insiders, here is another quick analysis of the trade and Schenn v. Richards:

A couple of keys to consider that might explain Paul Holmgren's thinking and eventually tilt the trade in Philadelphia's favor:

1. Schenn's pedigree at this stage of his career is at least as good as Mike Richards' was. Mike Richards was the 24th pick in the deep, deep '03 draft but made a huge step up in his first season after his selection. By that time teams who talked trade with the Flyers found that Philadelphia was listening to offers that included (the more highly drafted) Jeff Carter but not Richards.

Neither Richards nor Schenn was a 40-goal scorer in junior and you'd have to say that Schenn's peak output in the NHL will be more or less along the lines of Richards -- 28, 30, 31 and 23 goals the last four seasons. Richards has the deserved rep as a fierce competitor. Is there a chance that he'll burn out with the game he plays? Maybe.

2. Richards is a great two-way center. Can Schenn match it? That's a bit better than a maybe. True, it's a high bar to set for Schenn to be as good on faceoffs as Richards, who is among the league's best. But Schenn has a great motor -- he won't be outworked. He has a toughness and edge along the lines of his brother Luke, the hard-rock Toronto defenseman. Both of the Schenns have a high hockey IQ. Both are low-maintenance self-starters.

When prospects are traded these days, it's usually because there's a perceived hole in their game. Not so with Schenn. There's nothing diminished about his terrific potential.

But the defense is untouched and the goaltending has gotten a lot better. If Pronger and Timonen start out healthy and remain healthy, there's no reason we shouldn't allow the fewest goals in the Nhl this coming season.

Holy Shit a prospect!

 

[flyersfan4706]

Coburn, Mez, and Carle are all young...


My 4706 hookup was showing me two D men that sound nice. Forget their names...

No doubt Mav...just saying i wouldnt be surprised if they went to replenish the well...so to speak...

It wouldn't be a bad move at this point, considering all of the guys we traded for are forwards. The defense will definitely need to be restocked to prepare for the loss of Timonen and then eventually Pronger. You definitely wish we had found a way to keep Sbisa.

It's amazing that you can trade 26 year olds and still get this much younger as a team. It is exciting in that respect for sure.

Dam...Mav...i really liked Sbisa back then..not that it matters but did he drop down to the minors...havent heard much...

I think he's done with the minors now. He played in 68 games for the Ducks last season and in all of their playoff games. His stats weren't the greatest but he's still only 21.

Stole this, hopefully it plays.

The guy can shoot, pass, hit and fight. I think we are going to like him

My question is why in the fuck is Schenn making $3.1 million when he's only a 19 year old prospect? What the fuck!?! lol

 

[flyersfan4706]

I tihnk the Kin gs had to reach the cap floor...?

 

[flyersfan4706]

It has to be something with acheived bonus as I thought the exact same thing. I the video above they compare him to........................................... Mike Richards. He is apparently a good 2 way player. Again, the 8.5 rating is higher than I recall for any Flyer.

Viewed many kings fans on different boards...some are thrilled...some want to hang themselves...in the future for trading this kid...

I did see that comparison, which is pretty ironic considering they got traded for one another. If Schenn ends up being Mike Richards or better, then we seriously made out on this trade.
