It seems to me if one Schenn brother happens to be a world class talent bruising defenseman, that it is only fitting if the other Schenn brother is a world class talent bruising power forward. Gifted with what seems to be natural talent for net crashing offense, many have suggested that if the Leafs can't move up to pick Hedman or Tavares, that they will try to move up and secure Brayden Schenn.

Chances are that in a draft that has been speculated to only have sure-fire NHL prospects from the top 10 picks, without some significant movement from Kane, Ekman-Larsson, Kadri, or Kulikov, Schenn will not be an Oiler. Brayden Schenn would fit nicely into the moult of the team that Tambellini would like to build, however.
