It's super wired the prospects into superhero lamo wacky it makes no sense
NHL a prime example of Two Parent Homes. I know his Mom passed. But you won’t see any NHL players without a solid family( Mom and Dad).

Should have taken Misa!!
Its a shame top NHL drafts don't get paid like the top NBA or NFL drafts
Welcome Matthew! LGI
Let's Go Islanders!!!
Does he want his Mom back?
He seems like such a great kid. His mother would be so proud. So much luck to him next season.
This guy is mature well beyond his years and he’s going to be an amazing addition to this team!! Let’s go Islanders!! 💙🧡
Great young man
Schaefer's grateful not to be drafted by San Jose or even worse Buffalo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He’s a really amazing person, I’m excited to see how he’ll grow in the NHL

Very happy that this wonderful guy is now in the Islanders!
He has an extra incentive to become a great player, because his mother will be watching him from heaven and supporting him
What an amazing kid. Best of luck to him. I look forward to seeing him in the NHL next season.
That guy is a role model that kids should look up to and follow his example!!!!!
