"Schenn, 34, has been the Blues' captain for the last three seasons, helping bring the St. Louis its first Stanley Cup in 2019. Playing in all 61 games this season for the Blues, Schenn has recorded 12 goals, adding 18 assists for a struggling Blues team."
"Now, joining an Islanders team in the thick of a playoff race, Schenn will be thrust into a top-6 role, while also playing a role on the power play and possibly the PK. In a room full of leaders, including Captain Anders Lee, along with former Vancouver Canucks Captain Bo Horvat, Schenn's leadership will be a welcome addition."
"With two years remaining on his current contract and a $6.5M cap hit, Schenn will be with the Islanders past this season, as Darche was in search of a player with term. Though Schenn is likely a bit older than Darche was hoping for, he's still an upgrade to the current roster now and through the next two seasons."
The NY Islanders completed a trade with the St. Louis Blues to acquire 34-year-old captain Brayden Schenn, who waived his no-trade clause to join the team. The Islanders sent a first-round pick, third-round pick, and a prospect to St. Louis in return. Schenn recorded 12 goals and 18 assists in 61 games this season for the Blues and brings veteran leadership to an Islanders roster competing for a playoff spot. With two years remaining on his $6.5M cap hit contract, Schenn will fill a top-6 role and contribute to power play and penalty kill units alongside established leaders like Captain Anders Lee and Bo Horvat.
