The Los Angeles Kings have selected center Brayden Schenn in the first round (fifth overall) of tonight?s NHL Entry Draft at the Bell Centre in Montreal. The Kings have 12 more selections in rounds two through seven, which takes place tomorrow morning. Schenn, 17, played the last two seasons for the Western Hockey League?s Brandon Wheat Kings. In 70 regular season games in 2008-09, he recorded 88 points (32-56=88) and 82 penalty minutes en route to being named a WHL Second-Team All-Star. His 88 points led Brandon and ranked seventh overall in the WHL. His 32 goals were tied for second on the team (tied for 23rd in the WHL) and his 56 assists were ninth in the WHL (second on the Wheat Kings). Schenn was also a plus-20 in the regular season (fifth on Brandon) with three short-handed goals (tied for second on the team). He was named WHL and CHL Player of the Week in January after recording seven points in two games (1-6=7). In January he was also awarded the H.L. (Krug) Crawford Memorial Medal for his athletic achievement in western Manitoba. In 12 playoff games, Schenn recorded 18 points (8-10=18) and 12 penalty minutes as he helped the Wheat Kings reach the WHL?s Eastern Conference Finals before being eliminated by the Calgary Hitmen. His 18 points was tied for first on Brandon (tied for ninth in the WHL), while his eight goals was third (tied for ninth in the WHL) and 10 assists ranked fourth on the team. ?The number one attribute for Brayden is his competiveness,? said Kings President/General Manager Dean Lombardi from the Kings? draft table in Montreal. ?His hockey sense is top-notch. He has the ability to make those small, smart little plays and has no fear going into traffic. He?s a real competitor and I think he?s got a chance to grow into some leadership.? NHL Director of Central Scouting E.J. McGuire said, ?Brayden is of the power-forward ilk. He has learned a little about the NHL from his older brother Luke Schenn and he knows how to go to the net. He is a threat to score at all times on the ice and dishes the puck very effectively to his linemates in getting the amount of assists that he does. He takes the puck to the net with the kind of authority that a Jonathan Cheechoo does, yet has puck dishing capacities that maybe a Joe Thornton does. Both are tough players, both are tough to move out in front of the net and Brayden fits that ilk perfectly.? ?It feels great to be apart of an organization that is going forward,? said Schenn from Montreal. ?The Kings are going in the right direction, which is the main thing, and they have some good young guys like Drew Doughty and Thomas Hickey that are building blocks as well. I am happy to be a piece of the puzzle.? When asked to describe his style of play, Schenn said, ?I try to bring a two-way game. I?m a forward who has some grit and I see the ice pretty well. The main thing is that I play physical. I bring an all-around game.? In 2007-08, the 6-0, 198-pound native of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, led Brandon with 71 points and 43 assists (28-43=71) in 66 regular season games en route to being named the WHL Rookie of the Year. His 71 points ranked first among all WHL rookies, while he was second among league freshman in goals and assists. He became the first 16-year-old since 1971 to lead Brandon in scoring. Internationally, Schenn has won two gold medals representing Team Canada in 2008, first at the 2008 Under-18 World Championships and the second as an alternate captain at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament. Schenn won a bronze medal for Canada West at the 2008 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. He has been invited to Canada?s 2009 World Junior selection camp (along with current Kings prospect Martin Jones), which takes place in December. Brayden is the younger brother of defensemen Luke Schenn, who was the fifth overall pick by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.

New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has selected forward Chris Kreider with the 19th overall pick in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. Kreider, 18, skated in 26 games with Phillips Academy, Andover of the New England Prep School Ice Hockey Association (HS-MA), registering 33 goals and 23 assists for 56 points, along with 10 penalty minutes. He led Andover in goals (33), assists (23) and points (56). He also finished sixth among all high school players in point per game average, scoring at a rate of 2.15 points per game. The 6-2, 205-pounder entered the 2009 NHL Entry Draft as the highest ranked high school player, and 14th overall among North American Skaters, according to the final Central Scouting Rankings.

The Islanders have selected London Knights center John Tavares with the No. 1 pick in the 2009 NHL entry draft, as reported by the Associated Press on Friday night. The Islanders chose Tavares with the first overall pick ahead of Swedish defenseman Victor Hedman, the top-ranked European prospect. The Lightnng took Hedman and the Avalanche followed with forward Matt Duchene, the first three selections going as expected.
