At 32nd overall? Who knows. Only 12 32nd overall picks have cracked 100 NHL points, so this is a lottery ticket.
He's big, he has okay numbers. Some negative feedback on his skating, but who knows, maybe he can figure that out and maybe he becomes a real player.

Best 32nd overall by points is Tony McKegney and by games played is Eric Weinrich, so he doesn't have a lot to live up to his draft position!
Several former Oilers at 32nd overall too...Derek Roy is the third highest scoring 32nd pick. Tony "the Circus" Hrkac is #5. Mike Watt is #20 (and the best picked by Edmonton). Ty Rattie is #21, Ryan Stone is #32. Tyler Benson is #27 and Mark Laforge is #41. Ron Areshenkoff is #43 out of the 44 who've played an NHL game.

Agree.. at 32 you are taking your best educated guess.. Nick Paul the guy Schaeffer was compared to on the draft broadcast (for what its worth) was drafted in the 4th round by Ottawa.. you never know.. but what you can guarantee is that a lot of guys drafted ahead of Schaeffer won't be heard of again at the NHL level.. maybe even Schaeffer.. that's the draft.. sad truth.
