Could The Schenn Brothers Be Reunited Ahead Of The NHL Trade Deadline?
However, Brayden and Luke Schenn experienced that before with the Philadelphia Flyers, and they could be teammates again before the March 7 trade deadline.
During Sportsnet's "Saturday Headlines" segment with Elliotte Friedman on Hockey Night In Canada, the insider reported that teams are discussing uniting the Schenn brothers.

Both players have separately been in trade talks and rumors throughout this season. Nonetheless, this is the first time rumblings have emerged about the brothers being traded to the same team.
Friedman added that the St. Louis Blues haven't approached Brayden about any potential trades, and he later credited The Hockey News' Lou Korac with the initial report that the 33-year-old hasn't been asked to waive his no-trade clause.
After this season, Brayden will have a 15-team no-trade list instead of a full no-trade clause. Also, he'll have three more years remaining on his contract while earning $6.5 million against the salary cap.
There are several sets of brothers in the NHL, and except for Jack and Luke Hughes, siblings do not often become teammates.
Nashville Predators defenseman Luke Schenn earns $2.75 million per season and is in the second year of his three-year contract. Next year, he will become a pending UFA.
The Saskatoon natives shared parts of four seasons with the Flyers from 2012-2016 before Luke was traded to the Los Angeles Kings.
Since then, Luke has played for seven different teams, including two different stints with the Vancouver Canucks and back-to-back Stanley Cups with the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2020 and 2021.
As for Brayden, he would play one more season with the Flyers after his brother's departure before being traded to the Blues in June 2017. The center is in his eighth season with St. Louis and captained them for the last two campaigns.
The Blues captain has scored 11 goals and has 32 points this season in 57 appearances. In St. Louis' last outing in a shootout loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday, Brayden had 19:32 of ice time, the most he's played since Jan. 18, when he clocked 20:11 of ice time against Utah Hockey Club.
The Predators blueliner, Luke, has one goal and four assists in 55 games. He picked up his fourth helper of the season in Saturday's win against the Colorado Avalanche with a primary assist on the game-winning goal from Jonathan Marchessault. He was awarded the third star of the game for his performance.

Chelsea player ratings as Palmer and Sancho star in Conference League final triumph over Real Betis
Chelsea completed an impressive 4-1 victory over Real Betis in the Conference League final to claim a first trophy of the Enzo Maresca era. The Blues were pretty dismal in the first half in Wroclaw and deservedly trailed 1-0 but were a side transformed after the break. Cole Palmer's creativity created goals for Enzo Fernandez and Nicolas Jackson before the impressive Jadon Sancho came off the bench to add a third and Moises Caicedo completed the victory with a fourth in injury time. Advertisement It means the Blues become the first team in history to have won every single major European trophy, as the Conference League crown was added to previous successes in the Champions League, Europa League and European Cup Winners' Cup. Having already secured Champions League qualification for next season by coming fourth in the Premier League, this win completes a pretty impressive first campaign for Maresca and a young squad may well be able to use this as a springboard moving forward. Here's how the Chelsea players rated as they completed the European trophy set with Conference League victory over Betis: Filip Jorgensen – 6 Couldn't do anything about Betis's goal and then made a good save during the Spanish side's dominant start to the match. Looked comfortable enough on the ball and wasn't hugely tested beyond those early moments. Advertisement Malo Gusto – 3 Constantly inverted into central midfield alongside Caicedo and Enzo, leaving Chelsea exposed with a three at the back, and the impressive Ezzalzouli subsequently made hay down Chelsea's right early on. That included scoring the opening after Gusto gave the ball away and he was subbed off at half-time for Reece James. A largely dismal day. Malo Gusto struggled in Wroclaw (AP) Trevoh Chalobah – 6 Part of the defence run ragged in the first half and caught out by Betis's lively forwards on a couple of occasions. Was tested less in the second half as Chelsea were largely on top and that was probably a good thing. Looked decent enough on the ball. Advertisement Benoit Badiashile – 4 Like Chalobah, gets pinged for being part of the defence that were given the runaround early on and then got himself booked on 55 minutes before being subbed off on the hour mark. Marc Cucurella – 7 On the left side of the three created by Gusto inverting into the midfield, he looked as uncomfortable as his defensive partners when Ezzalzouli, Isco and Antony were causing havoc. Showed ambition when playing the ball forward though, especially in the second half, and helped keep Antony quiet after the early issues. Enzo Fernandez –8 Wanted to drive Chelsea forward from a central role and although he was quiet in the first half, popped up with the vital equaliser as he drifted between two defenders and headed home Palmer's sumptuous cross. Finals are about moments and he produced a key one. Enzo Fernandez scored the vital equaliser for Chelsea (Getty) Moises Caicedo – 8 The be-masked midfielder has quietly had a good season for Chelsea and performed his traditional role of tidying up/doing the dirty work here. Gave away free-kicks in key positions on a couple of occasions in the first half but helped steady the ship after the break as the Blues began to thrive. Got himself on the scoresheet with a superb injury-time strike, starting the move, continuing his run forward and thumping home. Advertisement Pedro Neto – 4 Largely quiet although did fire a 35th-minute shot well over the bar. Showed flickers of life early in the second half but subbed off on 60 minutes with Jadon Sancho coming on as Maresca sought a spark and the Man United loanee completely outshone him. Needs more end product next season. Cole Palmer – 9 Easily the man of the match. More capable of a defining moment of quality than anyone else in the squad and produced it for the equaliser as he floated a stunning cross on to Enzo's head. Looked dangerous every time he touched the ball in the second half and brilliantly created the second goal as well, turning his man inside out before dinking another glorious cross for Jackson to force home. The creative heart who won the Blues this final before receiving a standing ovation when subbed off with a couple of minutes remaining. Cole Palmer inspired Chelsea's comeback (AP) Noni Madueke – 7 Keen to run at opposite number Sabaly whenever he got on the ball and won a couple of corners in the first half before showing more verve and spark after the break. The goals came from Palmer's creativity and Sancho's quality finish but Madueke also looked threatening. Advertisement Nicolas Jackson – 7 Led the press effectively enough early on but was starved of service in the first half and did little with what he did get. Livelier after the break as Chelsea improved and was in the right place at the right time to score the goal that put them 2-1 up, using his shoulder/chest to force Palmer's pinpoint cross home. Not pretty but he'd made the perfect run to be there. Then made a complete hash of a one on one, with the heaviest touch you will ever see to highlight the frustration Chelsea fans have with him. Hobbled off with 10 minutes left Substitutes Reece James for Gusto, 45 – 8 Answered the half-time SOS to replace the struggling Gusto and Chelsea immediately looked more fluent. He put a good cross into the box straight away, saw a shot deflected wide and generally seemed to spark his side into life. Reece James's introduction helped turn things round for Chelsea (PA) Jadon Sancho for Neto, 61 – 8 Brought on for Neto to try and make an impact and did exactly that. Constantly ran at the Betis defence and curled in a superb third goal after shifting it on to his right foot that sealed victory for Maresca's men. Assisted Caicedo for the cherry-on-top fourth for good measure. Advertisement Levi Colwill for Badiashile, 61 – 7 Chelsea's best passer in defence and brought on for the yellow-carded Badiashile as much for that attacking ability as for as his defensive prowess. Did exactly what was asked. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for Jackson, 80 – 7 Got the assist for Sancho's goal after he aggressively drove forward. Perhaps a bit lucky that his pass made it to Sancho but deserved that fortune because of the ambition of the run. Marc Guiu for Palmer, 87 – N/A Simply brought on to waste time and so that Palmer could receive a standing ovation from Chelsea fans. Not enough time to make an impact.

'Time at the club is now done' – Mikel names Chelsea ace who needs to 'move on' this summer
'Time at the club is now done' – Mikel names Chelsea ace who needs to 'move on' this summer John Obi Mikel has admitted he was really excited about the arrival of Christopher Nkunku, but insists the Frenchman needs to leave this summer. Chelsea are expected to once again be busy in the window and have already completed the signing of Liam Delap from Ipswich, with more new faces expected to follow. Advertisement The Blues face a critical window and could look to add another striker, but they are also in the market for a centre back and right footed attacker. John Obi Mikel claims Nkunku needs to leave this summer Whilst incomings are important outgoings are also vital for the Blues and they need to move on a number of players who are now surplus to requirements. Nkunku falls into that category and despite high expectations following his £52m move from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2023 things simply haven't worked out. The France international has struggled with injury problems, but when on the pitch he simply hasn't performed to a high enough level, whilst he doesn't suit Enzo Maresca's system. Nkunku has almost certainly played his final game for Chelsea. (Photo by) Nkunku attracted interest from Bayern Munich in January and Mikel believes the 27-year-old needs to leave this summer. Advertisement 'Christopher Nkunku should also be a source of goals, but to be honest I think his time at the club is now done. I genuinely think he needs to move on,' he told Give Me Sport. 'There was a lot of hype about him when he joined from Leipzig. I was so excited when he arrived, but his time at Chelsea hasn't panned out well.' Nkunku has almost certainly made his last appearance for the Blues and his record currently stands at 17 goals and five assists in 56 appearances. Hugo Ekitike a target Whilst Nkunku will likely leave, the Blues are looking to bring in another forward and have been strongly linked with Hugo Ekitike.

Chelsea are believed to hold an advantage over Liverpool in the race for the France under-21 international, but it remains to be seen if they will make an official offer.
