Face time for Schenn

Kings prospect Brayden Schenn is one of 23 players who will participate in a photo shoot Wednesday in Toronto, with the photos designed to be used for “upcoming trading card and memorabilia launches.” It’s called the “2010 NHLPA Rookie Showcase,” so it seems as though at least someone out there likes Schenn’s chances of making the Kings this season. The other prospects included are: Taylor Hall (EDM), Tyler Seguin (BOS), Nazem Kadri (TOR), Jordan Eberle (EDM), Kyle Beach (CHI), Jonathon Blum (NSH), Joe Colborne (BOS),  Scott Glennie (DAL), Erik Gudbranson (FLA), Calvin de Haan (NYI ), Zach Hamill (BOS), Ryan Johansen (CBJ), Jacob Markstrom (FLA), Ryan McDonagh (NYR), Chet Pickard (NSH), Jordan Schroeder (VAN), Kevin Shattenkirk (COL), Jeff Skinner (CAR), Magnus Svensson Paajarvi (EDM), Tomas Tatar (DET), Mattias Tedenby (NJ), and Mats Zuccarello-Aasen (NYR). Remember, as noted a couple months ago, that Dean Lombardi said Schenn’s contract is structured in such a way that he wouldn’t have a huge salary-cap hit if he made the Kings this season. I don’t yet know what the exact figure would be, but that fact can’t hurt Schenn’s chances of making the roster as a fourth-line center.
