LHD Carter Schade,5'11"196lbs (Lincoln,USHL): 52gp/2g/14a/16pts,38PIM. Selected 1st overall in the 2019 USHL Draft. Dependable two-way player who plays with bite. All-situations minute-muncher, who is underrated as an attacker. Plays behind some vets on a very low-scoring team, which has eaten into his numbers. Fluid agility and footwork, with good straight-line burst. Nice edges and acceleration.

Schade likes to initiate contact-he throws hard open-ice hits to separate man from puck. Makes impactful hits, and likes to make his impression felt. He doesn't back down to anyone, even much larger players. Impressive shooter with a heavy, quick shot from the point, and an accurate wrister that he unfortunately doesn't use enough. Great puckhandling, and a strong stick that he uses to take away lanes, and has a quick, deceptive pokecheck. Great poise and puck-moving ability, and makes smart, simple passes consistently-even under presure. He can rush the puck and create offense for his team. Shows the ability to transition through all 3 zones with control by himself, or by finding teammates in the neutral zone with clean breakout passes. Outstanding vision, he likes to join the rush and contribute. He usually knows when it's safe to pinch, and shows patience in waiting for spots to open for a pass, rather than forcing things.

Schade is a defense-first player, and like to aggressively pinch up to eliminate the rush before it begins, to eliminate space and close the gap, with his stick or a stiff check. Great gap control and defensive awareness-breaks up passes and blocks shots. Boxes attackers out to low danger, battles hard along the wall, and clears the front of his net. Good PKer, knows how to effectively take away time and space. Schade needs to use his shot a lot more, and keep building his strength and skating. He can sometimes pinch too far or too soon, leaving the play behind him and his team down a man, so managing his choices, and working on his decision-making is a must. Plenty of NHL attributes here, and a throwback player. He has an excellent offensive game, but not the numbers to match yet, as the team he plays for struggles to score-so his totals don't match his ability or his potential. 5th/6th round.
