Career

Brayden Schenn began his career as a hockey player in his hometown with the Saskatoon Contacs from the junior league Saskatchewan Midget Hockey League , in which he scored 70 scorer points in 41 games in the 2006/07 season. Then the center was drafted by the Brandon Wheat Kings from the Western Hockey League , where he was a fixture in the following three years. During this period he scored a total of 298 points scorer in 228 games, including 112 goals. He was not only one of the best players on his team, but also in the entire league. In the 2007/08 season , the junior national player was elected to the all-rookie team of the Canadian Hockey League , he was also the rookie player with the most scorer points (71) in the Western Hockey League and received the Jim Piggott Memorial Trophy as WHL Rookie of the year . In the following two seasons he was selected first in the second and then in the first All-Star Team of the Eastern Conference of the Western Hockey League.

Schenn's achievements in the junior sector were recognized early by the talent scouts of large clubs and in the NHL Entry Draft 2009 he was selected in the first round as the fifth player by the Los Angeles Kings . For the Californians, the Canadian made his NHL debut against the Vancouver Canucks on November 26, 2009 at the age of 18 . The entire rest of the season, however, he spent again with the Brandon Wheat Kings in the WHL, where he was team captain. In the Memorial Cup 2010 he was set as host with his team, but could not prevail against the competition in front of his own audience.

The 2010/11 season began Schenn with the Los Angeles Kings in the NHL, but was released after eight games to their farm team , the Manchester Monarchs from the American Hockey League . There he scored seven points scorer, including three goals, in seven games, but he did not succeed in asserting himself permanently because he had weaknesses in defensive work. Therefore, he was returned to the Brandon Wheat Kings junior team in December 2010 to initially continue to collect match practice. This transferred him to the league competitor Saskatoon Blades following the 2011 U20 World Cup on January 10th .

On June 23, 2011, Schenn was transferred to the Philadelphia Flyers along with Wayne Simmonds and a second-round vote in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft , the Los Angeles Kings received Mike Richards in return .

After six years in Philadelphia, the Flyers handed him over to the St. Louis Blues in June 2017 and received in return Jori Lehterä , a first-round vote in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft and a conditional first-round vote in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft . Should St. Louis be allowed to draft in the top ten in 2018, the first-round voting right for the NHL Entry Draft 2019 will be postponed and Philadelphia will receive an additional third-round voting right for the NHL Entry Draft 2020 . This did not happen afterwards. In his first season in St. Louis, Schenn increased his personal statistics significantly, with 70 points from 82 games, he achieved his best career performance in the NHL so far. At the same time, he led the team in this ranking. The following year, he won the Stanley Cup with the team in the 2019 playoffs and then signed a new eight-year contract with the Blues in October 2019, which should bring him an average annual salary of 6.5 million US dollars.

International

For Canada , Schenn took part in the U18 Junior World Championships in 2008 and the U20 Junior World Championships in 2010 and 2011 . He and his team won a medal in all three tournaments, gold at the U18 World Cup in 2008 and a silver medal at the two U20 World Cups in 2010 and 2011. Schenn was particularly convincing at the 2011 U20 Junior World Championships, where he was one of Canada's two assistant captains. With 18 points scorer, including eight goals, in seven games, he was the top scorer of the tournament by a large margin. He was also named Best Striker and Most Valuable Player , as well as being elected to the All-Star Team. It was only in the final against Russia that he and his team had to admit defeat 3: 5 after the Canadians had already led 3: 0 with a goal and a preliminary work by Schenn.

In 2014 and 2015 he represented his country in the senior sector at the World Cup and won the gold medal with the team in the latter, although he only made two appearances at the tournament.
