Schneider is a old school banger with skating that is good, oldest in the draft, good first pass and strong like bull twice as smart ha. Hits anywhere on the ice,plays the body,drops em if needed
The Marlies could really use a guy like that. Being big in junior is his only standout tool even at that level.
Sounds like Luke SchennYeah I already watched all those free online videos and bought the scouting reports from McKeens and hockey news. I just wonder what the Black Book has to say about Schneider since I decided not to pay $50 for it this year.
I did find this (2020 NHL Draft Preview: Braden Schneider, WHL Defense)
"Hockey Prospect, 11th. In their Black Book, they felt his awareness both on and off the puck separated him from the rest of the defensive class. Like the other independent scouting services, they don’t see him as having a high-end set of skills, yet they see him as one of the most NHL ready blueliners."

You said, you don’t pick him for a need he’s not a 15 ranked player. Seems like you are wrong. Don’t bully your way around and you won’t get it back likelyhood. He’s definitely a 15 and definitely a need. Both counts you don’t think so. Thats your dealThat doesn’t explain your egregious reaction to me not wanting to draft him considering the wildly mixed opinions.
No actually his savvy on defense is best in draftThe Marlies could really use a guy like that. Being big in junior is his only standout tool even at that level.
Well, if they do, they are seeing something no one else does. lolCareful, you may regret those words if Kyle chooses him
That's not true. Sanderson is miles ahead.No actually his savvy on defense is best in draft
I am fairly certain that Dubas will not draft Schneider at 15. Issues with his skating might prevent him from playing as a top 4 D at the next level. You do not draft D in the 1st round to play on your 3rd pairing.
Depending who drops in this draft, Dubas will most likely try to find a trading partner and trade down. Easier said than done though. Like everyone is saying you hope and pray that Jarvis or The Russian goalie are there at 15 but that’s wishful thinking as well. I expect a guy like Quinn to drop but secretly hoping we trade down and draft Wallinder or Grans

Do not pick for need. Schneider is not a top 15 pick quality player. He is only even considered in that range because the D in this draft are awful.
I did not once say he is not a 15 ranked player. Regardless he is more often than not ranked outside of the top 15 so now you’re just arguing semantics. I don’t like him as a top 15 pick. If you can trade back to get him I wouldn’t mind him in the mid 20s so I don’t hate the player I just think it’s wasted value to grab him at 15 just because we need a defensive RHD right now.
Also I have not bullied anyone... maybe check your tone if you’re concerned about bullying
Really. Miles ahead. Oh okThat's not true. Sanderson is miles ahead.
Neither can we.I can’t wait until the draft to bump this thread.
