-Guaranteed stud, he will be one of the better players in all of the NHL. He will be in the NHL next season and will play a big role for the Kings. When looking at him and trying to predict his future, one has to look to the trade deadline and take notice of the fact that literally every time the Kings inquired on a player, the team that was being approached would ask and/or require Schenn be coming back to them which shows how highly regarded he is amongst all NHL scouting staffs and GMs.
