Braden Schneider's Player Profile

Tony Ferrari - Dobber Prospects - Sept. 30th: "He doesn’t press himself into offensive duties very often though so neither can be expected on a nightly basis. What makes Schneider special is his ability to prevent defensive zone entries and get the puck out immediately when the puck does get into his zone."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - Sept. 21st: "He uses his length and strength well off the rush, too, but his biggest asset is his ability to take away time and space in the defensive zone, close out the wall, win puck battles and advance the play back up ice with a quick outlet."

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - Aug. 25th: "A two-way, right-shot defenseman capable of playing the power play and the penalty kill with great competitiveness and smarts. Schneider scored 42 points (seven goals, 35 assists) in 60 WHL games."

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - Aug. 25th: "Schneider (6-2, 202) brings a physical element with a developing offensive side. He still needs time to grow his game, but it might be not be too long before he's ready to make an impact in the NHL."

Steve Kourmianos - The Draft Analyst - Aug. 10th: "A hard-hitting blueliner with wheels and length for days, Schneider is a highly-respected prospect in scouting circles who many feel deserves to be placed alongside Jake Sanderson and Jamie Drysdale in the debate for top defenseman in the 2020 draft class."

Chris Peters - ESPN - June 30th: "A confident defender who can throw his weight around, Schneider offers predictability in a good way: You're going to get consistent effort and good competitiveness."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - June 25th: "A safe bet as a more than capable defender with offensive upside that may develop down the road."

Mike G. Morreale - NHL.com - June 23rd: "A two-way, right-shot defenseman capable of playing the power play and penalty kill with great competitiveness and smarts. He's a more physically developed player and finishes checks with authority in all areas of the ice."

Josh Bell - The Hockey Writers - May 11th: "He can throw his body around and provide some offence."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - Apr. 8th: "Another defenceman who rates as a complementary player, but his offensive upside may develop further somewhere down the road."

Mike G. Morreale - NHL.com - Mar. 20th: "A two-way right-shot defenseman who is capable of playing the power play and penalty kill with great competitiveness and smarts. He had 42 points (seven goals, 35 assists) in 60 games in the Western Hockey League."

Mike G. Morreale - NHL.com - Mar. 6th: " A two-way right-hand shot capable of playing the power play and penalty kill with great competitiveness and smarts."
