ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - The St. Louis Blues traded captain Brayden Schenn to the New York Islanders Friday ahead of the NHL trade deadline.
Schenn has been with the franchise since the 2017-18 season. Schenn came to the Blues via a trade with the Philadelphia Flyers during the 2017 NHL Draft.
The Blues are getting back a 1st and 3rd round pick for Schenn. The team is also getting forward Johnathan Drouin as part of the package, and 20-year-old goaltender Marcus Gidlof.
Schenn was a key piece in the Blues’ turnaround during the 2018-19 season, ending in a Stanley Cup Championship, the first in the franchise’s history. Schenn had 12 points (5 goals, 7 assists) in the playoffs, including a goal in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Boston Bruins.
Schenn became the 24th captain in the team’s history, replacing Ryan O’Reilly in 2023.
