Probably the USA’s best player at the youth Olympics. this player is 6’3 already and shows excellent offensive and defensive promise. Is a lock for the NTDP next season and should be the top American defender in his age group moving forward. Exiting player, not sure how there wasn’t a thread.

He was not their best player at the YOG. He likely has the most upside out of the defenseman on the YOG team, though.

I like his game a lot. Has the size, skating, and a good enough puck game. Does not take many offensive risks. You hope that develops, but even if not he should still be able to be a good defensive defenseman.

Probably a lock for the NTDP next year.
 
He reminds me of Bode Wilde, which is going to sound terrible, but people forget that Wilde was a very good prospect at this age and simply didn't pan out.

Not all bust like that. Schairer has a very high ceiling. I could see him becoming a top 5-10 pick, but right now he makes a lot of mistakes trying to do too much. There are shifts where he forgets he's supposed to be aligned at the back of the ice and not the front. Also tries to stickhandle through players or make risky passes too often.

But the tools are there for an NHL 1D. Elite level skater, has high level skill, and does some good things defensively. All this for a 6'2 188 right shot. He can dominate some shifts.

I think he ends up a first rounder next year due to potential, but if he can start ironing out some of the mistakes then he can be the first American off the board in 2026.
