Welcome to Los Angeles Brayden Schenn!

The Kings took Brayden Schenn for the 5th overall pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. I was in suspense the entire time waiting for the Kings to pick. I kept getting Twitter updates saying Dean Lombardi was talking to Bryan Murray for a while, and he kept leaving the draft table. I thought for sure the pick was getting traded, but maybe they couldn't make a deal before they got their turn. Who knows, but Dean was also saying he didn't expect to come out of the first round today with a big gun.

Can't wait to see Schenn in camp. He seems really excited to be coming to L.A. and he's a competitor with a ton of heart! I know Doughty was hoping for them to pick him, since he is really good friends with Brayden's brother who plays for the Leafs.

Good day for the Kings! I'm not disappointed they didn't trade the pick! I'm really excited about this!!
