"Brayden Schenn, who hoisted the Cup in 2019 and has captained St. Louis the past three seasons, joins a mix on Long Island led by standout rookie defenseman Matthew Schaefer, whose presence has revitalized the franchise since winning the draft lottery and taking him with the first pick."
"This time of year is all about depth and understanding roles and pushing guys to push past what they even think is possible. I'm excited to do that with a team that I'm obviously invested in with my brother being there."
"The Wild, who have not advanced beyond the first round since 2015 and have only one trip beyond the second in franchise history back in 2003, have been active all week. Before getting Foligno, they acquired forward Bobby Brink from Philadelphia, sending defenceman David Jiricek to the Flyers."
The New York Islanders completed a trade with the St. Louis Blues to acquire versatile forward Brayden Schenn, a Stanley Cup winner and three-time captain who waived his no-trade clause. The deal was facilitated while both teams stayed at the same hotel in San Jose. Schenn joins an Islanders team bolstered by rookie defenseman Matthew Schaefer, the first overall draft pick who has revitalized the franchise. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Wild pursued aggressive deadline moves, acquiring Nick Foligno from Chicago to reunite him with his brother Marcus. The Wild also obtained forward Bobby Brink from Philadelphia, claimed forward Robby Fabbri off waivers, and made trades with Nashville and Florida for additional depth, aiming to finally achieve playoff success after limited postseason advancement in recent years.
