Schaefer recorded an assist and fired seven shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins.
Scouting Report
Has a projectable frame and incredible mobility, which he uses to jump up into the play to create odd-numbered rushes. His overall skating ability is elite, so he can get back into position more quickly than most. His play can be a bit chaotic at times so he needs to learn to pick his spots at the NHL level. Also displays great character.
Long Range Potential: Franchise offensive defenseman.
