Guy is so dynamic. If he slides to the second teams are clueless. I get the smaller guys with questionable skating sliding, because they rarely translate. But this kid has absolute jets.
F Cameron Schmidt - Vancouver Giants, WHL (2025 Draft)
- Thread starter Artorius Horus T
- Start date
Exactly and while I don't like making the comparison but comps are just plain bad most of the time, watching Schmidt as a Vancouver fan reminded me of how Bure played.
Schmidt just has jets and his hands and head can keep up with his feet but he is very slight and under 160 lbs so time will tell.
With all the picks the Habs have in the upcoming draft, if he has a great season but falls because of his size I hope they take a flyer on him like they did with Hutson.

2 goals tonight, also missed on a penalty shot and hit a post. Now leads WHL in goals with 6 in 3 games. Great start for him.

it will be interesting with him and Benak ( ushl youngstown), mooney - all around 5’8 for the draft . i’m guessing one of them goes late first - other two in second round . Schmidt goes first .

Schmidt is a small forward, but it doesn’t hinder his game that much. He definitely gets out-muscled at times and isn’t great along the boards because of his size. But, I don’t think height would be a good reason to not draft him.
Cameron Schmidt is probably one of the most skilled forwards in this draft. In the offensive zone he is a constant threat. His pace of play in the offensive zone is intense and he has the ability to score every shift because of the chances he is able to create. He is extremely difficult for defenders to stop because his speed and positioning in the offensive zone are elite. It times, it’s like he’s just magically appears in the right position because he is so elusive. He has an excellent shot and could lead the WHL in goals this year with his skillset.
Schmidt definitely has some junior league tendencies in his game. He is not always the best at utilizing his teammates. Too often, he will attempt to charge down the slot and take on several opposing defenders at once and he is very much a shoot-first player. If he can learn to utilize his playmaking ability, he could be an elite player.
I think Schmidt is a top 20 talent for sure and could rise. I don’t think it’s likely a team will pick him that high, but he’d be a player I’d be excited to get.

3A last night brining him to 18 points in 10 games (11 goals). Sounds like he’ll be without linemates and fellow draft eligible player Aaron Obobaifo due to injury which is too bad as they showed excellent chemistry together. However, it doesn’t seem to matter who Schmidt is with, he just produces.
So far the most terrifying player I've seen in the WHL this year. Looks absolutely unstoppable at times. Last time I felt something bad was going to happen for the opposition every time a a draft-eligible player had the puck was Seth Jarvis.

2 quality assists last night, only guy going that game for the Giants in overall a poor team effort.

Demidov is a HAB
I can't see it.. look at how Stankoven fell, how few smaller players got drafted at all last year.. He's going to be undervalued relative to his skill, especially in a draft where there's so many productive players with size.

He’ll do very well to be picked in the first round. More likely second or third round, if he keeps this pace up.
If he scores at a goal per game pace he will be drafted in the first round, he is small but no shrinking violet and his speed and goal scoring instincts will be his ticket, anything more is just a bonus.

I wonder if the Canucks finally go in their backyard and draft this guy. Clearly can’t ignore him at this point.
Do they even have their first rounder this year?
I really miss Cap Friendly.
Turns out that we do thanks https://puckpedia.com/team/vancouver-canucks

If he keeps this pace up it would be hard to imagine he falls outside of the first round. I don’t think it’s realistic to keep this kind of a goal scoring pace as a draft eligible though.
