I’m betting most of you NHL fans knew who rounded out my top five before I posted, as Brayden Schenn is a consensus pick to go No. 5 on almost every mock draft board.

The comparison i’ve seen most is Bryan Trottier — pretty lofty. Scouts say Brayden is a power forward/playmaker hybrid, reportedly driving to the net hard, getting physical with defenders, and extremely tough to move from the front of the net. He also is said to have a quick release and great passing skills. Sounds to me like he projects to have a Mike Richards-like impact on daily sports picks in the NHL.

The front-runner to get Brayden is, naturally, the Los Angeles Kings, who hold the No. 5 pick. However, the Toronto Maple Leafs may consider making a play to acquire the No. 5 pick and pair Brayden with brother Luke on the same team. Will he be worth the price per head (speaking of which — how much are UFC 100 fight card tickets?) ? Only time will tell.
