I dont mind the pick, I do mind wasting a pic to move up..

For real. TPC can you shut the (frank) up before I break my tv.

Don't like it at all, especially that he is a righty. At least if he was left side it would make a little sense

Not really. We need a LD now not 3 years from now

Is this good? Do we want this?
- TPC

Yes, and it sucks.

Well, whats the future looking like for Nils and ADA now with this kid in tow?
- aecliptic

Nothing wrong with some competition. Plus it's not like this kid is ready to step in right away.

A big trade has to be coming. Rangers have to many RH d men

What did we give up? Watching the board on NHL.com since I can't watch it.

Thought they might go Lapierre or Zary or Brisson but not shocked at Schneider.

We need a ld no matter what, we don't need rd. Its the one spot they are completely fine.

Trouba, Fox, Tony, Lundkvist

Yes, and it sucks.

Who the frank did you just pick hahahha

Yes, and it sucks.
- smellmyfinger

I think they thought NJ was taking him, why they moved up.

Love the pick ! He looks like a beast!

Also, it looks like they cockblocked Jersey!

Our roster next year wouldn’t really be impacted by this pick is my point

Sorry for how long this is lol. But this is from draftsite. This profile makes me tingle in certain places

-“Big strong defender who has some nasty sprinkled on top. Will never be mistaken for a new age defenseman, he does make smart decisions as an attacker on both the power play and even strength. This big man is good in his pivots, an excellent puck mover, and a crisp passer in transition. He has no qualms about jumping into the play, but he makes the most impact as a devasting checker and smart defensive zone player who has an active stick that disrupts the passing lanes.Is smart and strong in te neutral zone but absolutely at home in his defensiev zone. Is developing some offensive upside which might dispel the opinion that he is a big mobile stay at home defender and just that. Schnieder’s was a stay at home defender, but was then asked to carry a bigger load offensively and he has stepped up in his offensive game with aggressive carries on odd man breaks and use of his big shot. nd at this point, Braden Schneider hasn't worked out the best option part of his puck possessions in the attack zone, so he has to read and build better vision to be in tune with the on-ice give and takes that occur instantaneously. Far from a finished product, but there is plenty there to work with. He can one hand push the defender out of the play, cross body check him, or physically rock him to make a play and does.He still lands his big hits, and is noticeable in his quickness in defensive zone retrivals by way of simple transition plays out. Far from a finished product, but there is plenty there to work with. He can one hand push the defender out of the play, cross body check him, or physically rock him to make a play and does. There is a calm reserve that tempers his aggression, in the same way the in his prime Brent Seabrook took care of business. Stays inside the rules and handles his business. Schnieder's physicality and aggression is of the vintage Brent Seabrook type, where it isn't as overt when he exerts it.”

Yes, and it sucks.

NICE PICK SMELLY!!!

Order a jersey yet?

- picklerick

Just my opinion is that they have much more need for other areas. Look, I hope the kid turns into a monster, but I think as of right now, its not the smartest pick

Trouba, Fox, Tony, Lundkvist

Wonder if Nils is part a deal? Anyway, this guy is going to be a monster for them, book it. It’s great trade and pick.

I just dont understand why we had to move up 3 picks to draft Schneider. Whatever, I trust in JD and Gorton.

Oh, and they have Lindy Ruff too.

NJ was taking him 20th, this is what Chris Peters said:
"Had Schneider as the No. 3 defenseman in the draft. He's everything they're telling you about him in terms of snarl. Thought he showed better offensive talent this year. Keeps it pretty simple, but effectively so."
