It's so easy to talk about Schenn now. The guy was an average player before being traded to the Blues. At no time did he look to be a potential #1 centerman. He is surrounded by a great group of players, and coached very well.
You aren’t wrong, but that works both ways.
Poehling is off to a blazing start and is looking like the real deal, but there was questions marks about him (like any other late first rounder), but most late first rounders don’t pan out...
In hindsight I’m glad we didn’t trade the pick, but that doesn’t mean we couldn’t or shouldn’t have been in on Schenn.
If you pull off the exact trade in 2013 it’s McCarron+Scherbak for Schenn (or we’ll say a player of his ilk), that’s a trade with hindsight you’d do every time because the players drafted never met expectations (as late firsts often do)..
