Luke Schenn
DETROIT – Four months ago, Luke Schenn was at the Joe Louis Arena to take in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins.
He was there with other projected top picks from the 2008 Entry Draft, such as Steven Stamkos and Drew Doughty. Little did Schenn know that in just a few months time, he’d be in the same building, trying to prevent the defending champion from winning its 2008-09 season opener.
The Toronto Maple Leafs traded up with the New York Islanders to grab the 18-year-old defenseman with the No. 5 selection. After making his mark in training camp, Schenn gets the opportunity to showcase what many have projected to be tremendous shut-down ability.
But before he can get down to business, Schenn will only be able to watch as the Red Wings raise their 2007-08 Stanley Cup banner to the rafters of what will certainly be a raucous Joe Louis Arena.
Quite a way to start your NHL career.
