Change is good.
LOVE this.
I have a really strong feeling he’ll be in the lineup opening day next year.

Glad to have this kid locked up. Depends on how the roster shakes out but there's a real shot of him knocking on the door next season.

Internally, the feeling is that he could challenge as early as next year, or potentially be an in-season recall.

It's been too long since this team had a quality Schneider defenseman on the team.

I did forget him lol.
Although my original post could work if Miller was part of an Eichel trade.
Also, holy shit I've been posting here for over a decade. That's...
Cannot wait to see the competition between Lundkvist & Schneider in camp. Unless we need to scour the schedule of whatever team Nils is traded to , so that we can see him play.

Bitetto ahead of Hajek? Nah. Unless you expect him to be moved.
He did leave the prior game but came back. None of the local press even reported on it and the Brandon Sun is quite thorough in their coverage. The team just says it's a lower body injury but hasn't declared what or any kind of timeline. Hopefully it's minor.

I would even play Hajek ahead of Miller based on recent games.
This is lunacy.
Miller's been pretty great recently.

I fully expect Lundkvist to start and take DeAngelo's spot vacated by him when the 2021-22 season starts. Schneider could force his way onto the team with one of them moving to the left.
That left side is still a bit weak after Lindgren and Miller.

I think that you will be surprised at the fight that Schneider puts up at camp.

Sure about that? I remember some pretty blatant f***ups over the past 3-5 games. Mostly positioning.

My opinion isnt based on thinking BS isn't good or could be ready to play for a team with lesser options, but there is nothing wrong with letting him have some extra time when we don't need to force him into the lineup, especially with a kid who will be d+3 coming over from playing in a professional league and not juniors. There is literally no reason to not make BS force his way onto the team (exactly why I said it would be Nils' spot to lose, not that it is automatically Nils' spot), and extra time for him at a level(s) below the nhl to keep refining his offensive game isn't going to hurt him. How many prospects have to seen come in that in retrospect could've used that extra 4-8 months at a lower level to continue to refine their offense before hitting the NHL?
Because of his birthday, is BS eligible to play in the AHL for the 2021-2022 season?
I don't believe that your thinking is based on him not being good at all. It may well be Nils spot to loose, but it is hardly a forgone conclusion. The spot will be up for grabs and fought between Schneider and Lundkvist. Lundkvist is having a great season, but Schneider certainly did not look out of place in his time in Hartford at all. In fact he was a driver of solid play for the entire team.
I see this being one of the most interesting battles in the entire camp. Very high end problem.

Historically very good 19 d man dont justify a spot in their rookie pro year, they need to be elite. Again, I see no harm in letting young kids have a little bit of extra time, especially defensemen. The board is littered with posts about how we have rushed kids or that they would be better at a lower level playing more minutes. If Nils makes the team he is probably playing 3rd pair mins and pp2 time. If BS makes the team he is playing 3 pair mins and sh time. I would rather him have the ability to excel and continue to develop his offense at a pro level than be brought in and shoehorned into a strictly defensive role. That is not to suggest I think he is going to qb a pp in the future, it is to let his offense develop so his can be a 2 way 5v5 contributor sooner rather than later at the NHL level. It is not often that extremely young defenseman are hurt by playing some extra time at the AHL level prior to making the jump. Like I said, he would have to force his way onto the team to win that spot at camp, I just dont see it happening without an injury, and right or wrong, if Nils gets passed on that spot even while playing well he is probably going to have an option to return to the SEL if he doesn't make the team. All things being equal, is NYR realistically going to have him go back to Europe and be unavailable for the entire season rather than send BS to the AHL to get pro reps and further develop which would give the org more options as the season goes by?
All of this may be moot anyways if there is a major trade this summer
I've noticed the same with all of our D if thats our criteria lol.
Lest we forget that Hajek lost a puck in his feet and almost skated himself backwards into a breakaway against last game.
