Schaefer for me, but I think the three (Misa, Hagens, Schaefer) are close enough in value that it really will depend on the team that ends up first what they deem most pressing amongst 3 players equal in level

Schaefer is going to be the best player imo but may not go number 1

 

[Corso]

Martone is a winger that has size and skill but lacks the dynamic offensive abilities for a true number one.

Misa, great skater and can score but somewhat lacking in the hockey sense department and it's unlikely he will be a true center in the NHL. So, think of a potential high scoring winger that will need support. As a result, not a true 1OA pick.

Hagens, exceptional skating ability coupled with a high-level CPU (mucho hockey sense) that is able to drive a line. He can score as well as set up. Projects as a center in the next level. A legitimate 1OA pick.

Schaefer, outer worldly skating ability coupled with tremendous skill. Defensively responsible enough to be on a PK at the NHL level while being the man on the PP. Projected as a true number one Dman and a worthy 1OA pick

So, it's really between Hagens and Schaefer and most of us will have a pretty good indication by the February as to who will and deserves to go 1st overall.

Schaefer. Drives play extremely well from the back end, tall, elite skater, gets back to defend pretty damn well too.

Hagens is close, but I just like Schaefer more here.

 

[Briser la glace]

I love them all, but I'd go with Schaefer as of today, especially considering his age and runway in front of him.

I'll give you my take on what I think Bob Mckenzie's list looks like at the end of the year:

Schaefer #1

Hagens #2

Martone #3

Frondell #4

Misa #5

 

[Topcheese31]

1. Scheafer
2, Hagens
3, Misa
4, Martine

For me, clearly a top 4 this year. #5 could go anywere after this. Mcqueen, Hensler, Frondell seems to be the frint runner for the 5OA

 

[OSA]

1. Schaefer
2. Martone
3. Hagens
4. Misa

 

[Jacob]

I'll guess Misa, especially if it's Chicago picking 1st.

This class feels kinda like '02 where the players were close enough that organizational need wins out, or at least may be a tie-breaker.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Hagens.

Broke the U17 Worlds points record.

Broke the U18 Worlds points record.

Oh yeah, produces in full seasons too. Best PPG in USHL last year (and did it as a player who hadn’t even reached his draft year).

Most valuable position. Most proven player in the draft.

Definitely disagree about Misa’s hockey sense. I’m curious what led you to that conclusion.
