Mark Scheifele

How good is he offensively? defensively? what are the areas that he needs to improve in?

 

[HabsFanFromOntario]

Schiefele's a Spezza on offense, and a malhotra on defense, he needs to bulk up and shoot more

He should be going first overall then

He should be going first overall then

the face was more of a joking comment. He's basically a Spezza player though. 6'3 not always involved on defense but not entirely out of it and has the potential to be a playmaker who can put the puck in the back of the net. Goes to Montreal!

 

[McOilbleeder]

I really hope Oilers get to pick him at #19. I really like him as a player. Love his tools.

6'3 Centre with first to second line potential Jason Spezza-esque player getting past the Habs @ 17? Best be hoping Zibinjad drops there or that ain't happening

I'd like to see the Habs draft Scheifele, but...

Scheifele at 17 - 66gp 75 pts
Spezza at 17 - 56gp 116pts !!

Spezza was also a leader on Team Canada's U20 team in his draft season, despite being a young (June birthday) 17 year old. http://www.iihf.com/hockey/x/0001/W20/gs/pg000076.htm

I compare him to Spezza, but I say Oil take Larsson with the first, and with pick #19 they take Schiefele

 

[HabsFanFromOntario]

Schiefele's rookie season, first line minutes, worst team in the league. He had nobody to play with all year.

 

[McOilbleeder]

His game is more like Paul Statsny than Jason Spezza from what I saw.

I do like that he played top opposition this year. I do like that he can do everything and has a pretty decently high IQ.

 

[Skobel24]

This is one guy I really hope Calgary ends up drafting.

 

[Roulin]

Schiefele's rookie season, first line minutes, worst team in the league. He had nobody to play with all year.

Spezza's teams in 00-01 ranged from mediocre (Windsor) to monumental disaster (Mississauga).

[GarfSnowed]

Mini sticks? The guy is like 18 years old. Haha.

yeah ik right?

 

[Qubax]

yeah ik right?

While 18 is an Adult......do you remember being 18?

He's 18 not 30....

Being 18 is a lot more like being 13 then most people remember.

 

[Future]

Is he homosexual?

 

[Bjorn Le]

Just about any person whose played junior hockey in Kitchener-Waterloo loves Mini-Sticks. Don't know why.

 

[SmellOfVictory]

Mini sticks? The guy is like 18 years old. Haha.

Should his favourite away-from-the-rink activity be playing the stock market or something? I hope he plays mini sticks til the day he dies. Never let your inner child go.

 

[HSF]

Taylor Swift? LOOOL wut?


I guess he semi redeems himself with "Remember the name"

 

[Heaters not lazt*]

My new favorite prospect

 

[Falkrik]

him liking Detroit and datsyuk make me love him more as a player/prospect

 

[magic school bus]

there's no way he can do the "datsyuk move"

 

[GarfSnowed]
