When the St. Louis Blues traded Ryan O'Reilly, they lost a key player and captain. Brayden Schenn, the new captain, has struggled on the ice this season. With a declining performance, questions arise about his future with the team and his hefty contract.

His role moving forward may shift as young prospects join the team, potentially allowing Schenn to take on a more reduced role as a mentor. Trading him could benefit the team but keeping him around for leadership might be the best move.
