2009 NHL Draft: Kings Select Schenn

The Los Angeles Kings used their #5 pick in the 2009 NHL Draft to select Brayden Schenn, a center who played for Brandon of the Western Hockey League in Canada. Schenn was Rookie of the Year in 2008, and while initially being ranked the third top player in this year's draft, he fell to the fifth slot in later predictions. He won two gold medals with Canada in international hockey, one in the IIHF World U18 Championships, and another in the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament.
