Buffalo – Reality is registered for Matthew Schaefer.
In less than three weeks, the defender with Érié of the Ontario hockey league will learn his fate in the draft of the NHL Upper Deck 2025 at the Peacock Theater of the Live.
“Everything happens very quickly and I think that when you get closer and closer, it seems more real,” said Schaefer during an availability of combination media in the NHL combining the Leccom HarborCenter. “You have to take a step at a time, day after day, and take advantage of the process.”
The first round of the project will be on June 27 (7 p.m.; ESPN, ESPN +, SN, TVAS) and the 2-7 rounds are June 28 (Midi and Nhln, ESPN +, SN, SN1). The New York Icelanders have the n ° 1 choice, the San Jose Sharks have the choice n ° 2, and the Chicago Blackhawks have selection n ° 3.

He was joined by the Center Michael Misa de Saginaw (OHL), the James Hagens center of Boston College (NCAA), the Jake O’Brien Center in Brantford (OHL) and the Anton Frondell center and the right wing Victor Eklund from Djurgarden (Sweden).
Schaefer (6 feet 2 inches, 183 pounds), n ° 1 in the final classification of the NHL Central Scouting of North American skaters, certainly opened up eyes despite only 17 regular season games with Erie this season. He compares his style to an exceptionally qualified NHL defenders: MAKAR holder (Avalanche du Colorado) and Miro Heiskanen (Dallas stars).

I also love watching Chris Tanev (Toronto Maple Leafs) On the Kill penalty, block shots, penalties. I want to be this defender who can play everywhere on the ice, wherever the coach needs me. If it’s the penalty, the power game … I just want to be this guy who goes there and works as hard as possible. “”
