dude, sometimes you have to reach in a draft to find your coveted player. It happens all the time(KK, Seider, etc,). If you pick Schneider, we’ll all be talking about how Dubas was a great GM in ten years

and there are no KK's or Seider's available after that either, so what's your point?
As mentioned by someone else in another attempt to draft. I quite liked his comparison. Schneider is kind of a Luke Schenn pick. Strong, physical, mature beyond his years which makes him look great in the WHL, but lacks skill, agility, mobility and skating, which I think will make it extremely different to overcome in the NHL, leading to nothing more than a 3rd pair D.
Players with little mobility get bured quite often in the NHL, because most forwards are mobile and can skate and stickhandle.

I think this is quite a different thing. I think for KK and Seider (I don't think it was a reach to be honest) They saw a lot of raw skills that can be developed, which I think is quite different to Schneider
