[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1793411, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/ben-frederickson/benfred-brayden-schenn-fellow-champions-keys-to-blues-proving-present-can-be-promising/article_d5c77f85-5ed5-525d-b6a7-0cfbc9f17d69.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/Ben%20Frederickson']Ben Frederickson[/URL] The more distance Brayden Schenn gains from last season, the more he has offered up about how much last season hurt. We’re not just talking about getting bounced from the second round by rival Colorado before the Avalanche went on to win the Stanley Cup championship. Schenn played through three separate sets of broken ribs and a torn oblique. Somehow he still managed to join the team’s robust 20-goal club (24) in 62 games while posting a plus-minus of 21. But yes, Schenn acknowledged Thursday on Day 1 of training camp, it was brutal at times. Playoffs included. “The movement was not great,” Schenn said. “Getting hit is obviously not fun. You can pad this and that, but it (extra padding) weighs you down a little bit.” And now? Much better. “I feel good,” Schenn said. “I feel ready. Just one of those things. Unfortunate. Happens early on the year, and you are just playing catch-up the whole year. Trying to battle through it. It’s all part of it. You move forward.” So much of the talk entering this edition of Blues training camp has revolved, understandably so, around three types of Blues players. There are the ones who did not get a new contract from the Blues, like new Detroit Red Wing David Perron. There are the ones who are still waiting to find out if they will get a new contract from the Blues, like pending unrestricted free agent and captain Ryan O’Reilly. And there are the ones who just received their new contracts, like talented young forwards Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou. [/QUOTE]
