Fantasy Summary

A big-bodied winger who has performed well in the German Junior leagues.


Observations

September 2025 – Schäfer is another big winger at 6-4, and while he dominated the U20 German league, he struggled in the DEL. There is offence here, but whether the rest of his game translates towards becoming an NHLer is the main question. Schäfer will play in North America for 2025-26 in the QMJHL with the Chicoutimi Saguenéens. Pat Quinn

June 2025 – Taken 96th overall in the third round, Maxim Schafer is now a member of the Washington Capitals. Alex Wyatt
