Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: finishing (+0.5); his biggest cost: EV defense (-2.3).
A season in line with 2024-25 (PAL of 14); his WAR went from -0.4 to 0.1.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 6 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Brayden Schenn's story
Raised in Saskatoon, Schenn came up through the city's minor system and spent his midget AAA years with the Saskatoon Contacts before moving into major junior with the Brandon Wheat Kings. He emerged quickly in the WHL, finishing his rookie season as Brandon's leading scorer and earning the Jim Piggott Memorial Trophy as the league's top rookie. He served as Brandon's captain, racked up substantial point totals over successive seasons and went into the 2009 NHL Entry Draft regarded as one of the top WHL prospects.
The Los Angeles Kings selected him fifth overall in 2009, mirroring the exact draft position of his older brother two years earlier. Schenn made his NHL debut on November 26, 2009 after an emergency recall and soon signed his first professional contract. A trade on June 23, 2011 sent him to the Philadelphia Flyers; there he split time between the NHL and the AHL early on, scored his first NHL goal in the 2012 Winter Classic and recorded his first career hat trick on February 29, 2016. The Flyers rewarded his offensive play with a four-year contract in July 2016.
Schenn moved again at the 2017 draft when Philadelphia traded him to the St. Louis Blues. He enjoyed a breakout campaign with St. Louis, setting career highs in goals, assists and points and earning an All-Star selection in 2018. The Blues captured their first Stanley Cup in 2019, with Schenn contributing five goals and 12 points through 26 playoff games. He signed an eight-year extension in October 2019 and later served in team leadership; in March 2026 he was traded to the New York Islanders.
Internationally, Schenn represented Canada at multiple junior events, winning silver medals at the World Junior Championships in 2010 and 2011. His 2011 tournament was exceptional: he tied Canada's single-tournament points record, was named to the media All-Star team, and received awards as the tournament's top forward and most valuable player. On the ice, Schenn is a centre known for his scoring instincts and playmaking ability, the kind of two-way forward who can both finish plays and set up teammates while taking on leadership responsibilities.
