Schaefer is unanimous #1 by the 10 NHL scouts he surveys.
Also some notes on the other top guys:
Scouts are projecting Hagens more as a 2nd line centre than a 1st liner
Some scouts wonder if Misa will be a better NHL winger than centre
Desnoyers might be the most complete 2 way centre in the draft. Top end projection 2nd line centre or elite 3rd line shutdown centre. Viewed as a safe pick. If you believe his offence will pop in the NHL then he is a top 5 pick
Scouts are ranking McQueen as if he is healthy (believed to be suffering a lower back injury). Some scouts are wary without clarity on his health. One scout said he is on the No draft list without more health information if the draft were tomorrow.
O'Brien has elite hockey sense and is a wizard on the half wall. Ranked as high as 6 as low as 17 |
I'm still really intrigued by Ben Kindel, who is a fast riser, landing at 25 on McKenzie's list.
Love to hear from anyone who has seen him play, as he's now right where the Flames are projected to draft, although the way he's rising, he could land in the top 15 by draft day.
