Final pick of Round 3

LWWashington Capitals Foreign

June 28, 2025

Schafer was the 96th overall pick by Washington in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.

ANALYSIS
Schafer spent the vast majority of 2024-25 in the top German league as a 17-year-old. He managed just a goal and three points in 31 regular-season outings, although he was dominant in 15 regular-season appearances at the U20 Jr. level (12 goals and 35 points). Checking in at 6-foot-4 and 185 pounds, Schafer is massive. He carves out space in the offensive zone and is dangerous on the forecheck. The Capitals will almost certainly allow Schafer to develop in Germany for the next couple of seasons.
