Player Discussion Braden Schneider

[NYRangers0723]

Schneider is the Dylan McIlrath that we were originally supposed to get but with even more skill

.

. Mcilrath never really had skill other than toughness/fighting ability

 

[Mugless]

Do we know if Schneider can actually fight?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

A McQuaid type at #10 seems terrible, no?

It's better than a McIlrath type.

Too lazy to search on YT but I'm pretty sure one can find tape.

 

[Kocur26]

Some horrendous takes in this thread ;
He’s Adam McQaid

he’s Dylan mcilrath ( who btw had a major career stifling injury )

I wanted a goalie

Lol.

I didn’t like his draft coverage

lmao

He’s more pei than Brad Richard’s ever was wtf does that even mean …

brutal read

 

[Brief Candle]

I was hyped on this kid when we drafted him. I am glad that my hype was not misplaced. This kid is gonna be a mainstay for a long time.

 

[The S5]

So far, so good.
He is just a baby, so he has a long way to go with his development.
Big and has some skill and seems to see the game well. Winning combo

 

[Levitate]

I thought McIlrath would have been a McQuaid type. Sadly the injuries really hurt his development.

honestly I think Trouba is what people kind of hoped McIlrath could be, but his skating didn't really develop and neither did his instincts. He was definitely scouted as a "good skater" (maybe for his size) and having a hard shot, loved to throw hits, etc. But his pivots and agility were not up to NHL snuff

 

[Mugless]

Only fight I can find. From two years ago:

 

[Larrybiv]

I pr

I predict MacEwen...the PEI kid will want to show Gallant something . He knows many from PEI will be watching the game because of Gallant who is EXTREMELY popular around all PEI....way more than Brad Richards ever was .

guess we were both wrong. the Flyers weren't even willing to do ANYTHING of such usual nastiness. not your Fathers Flyers, then again they have Hayes to show them the way. haha.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Only fight I can find. From two years ago:

Seems very strong, for that takedown he didn’t even have to get low and put all his lower body into it. It was as if he could just pick the guy up and take him down with his upper body strength alone lol

 

[McRanger92]

Schneider has been a revelation. There's no wonder the team has been so high on him. The way he looks at 20 years old makes me think of how seamlessly Staal/McDonagh/Sauer came into the lineup and made an impact back in the day, and I see him as a similar player to them. Playing him with Lindgren while Fox is out should tell us all we need to know about his standing in the org.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

No question, kids a beaut already imo.

All the better we snagged him before the Debbies took him.

Devils getting Mercer and Schneider in the mid first would have been too much for me.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He gets a little too chase happy at times but It's hard not to be anything but pleased with his play so far.

When Fox returns he needs to be attached to Jones.

 

[McRanger92]

I know we are all worried about the young forwards development, but the rebuild has given us a young D core that will probably be the best in the league in 2-3 years.

 

[CupSeeker]

Keeper.

 

[CupSeeker]

Only fight I can find. From two years ago:

Willing, able. He'll start dropping the gloves once he has a little more time in the league.

 

[bleedblue94]

Why in the world are we taking about mcIlraith I'm here.

Schneider is looking to be too solid of a player to waste having in the box for 5 mins for a scrap.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

I love the chemistry he has with Panarin

 

[LokiDog]

Schneider reminds quite a bit of early days Trouba, before he got his 8M contract. I can’t really think of a much better comparison. Young Trouba. The way he jumps in on the pinch to keep pucks alive, willingness to throw the puck to the net any chance he gets, willingness to throw the body around, block shots, etc. maybe a little bit of youthful running around but otherwise steady. This all sounds like early Trouba to me. I don’t know if Schneids has the cannon Trouba was known for.

I know they are both rookies, but they both play with a lot of poise, I wouldn't mind them putting them together out there especially given their familiarity from playing together all year on the same pair in Hartford.

No one has issues with Trouba doing this. If it helps the team, creates momentum and does it to protect the teammates, fans won’t have an issue with it.

That shift yesterday just before the Laf goal was really nice. He showed great instinct in the O zone with Panarin. When to go deep and activate/keep the play alive.

He actually does have a fairly heavy shot IMO.

I've been excited since we drafted him - so glad he's showing great signs early. We haven't even seen too much of his skating yet either, he's got pretty decent wheels.

(off topic: part of me wants/wanted this with Laf, go to the A and log heavy minutes and be noticeable when called up to the big club)
