Professional Career Of Reid Schaefer

Schaefer had his first full season with the Thunderbirds in 2020-21, scoring 32 goals and 58 points in 66 regular season games. As a ‘C’ ranked prospect on the NHL Central Scouting Bureau’s (CSS) preliminary ‘Players to Watch’ list for the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, he began the season with low expectations. His ranking rose as the season progressed, which Schaefer attributed to his offseason efforts. The CSS ranked Schaefer 31st among North American skaters after he scored 32 goals in 66 games.

Oilers scouts encouraged General Manager Ken Holland to attend the WHL final games in Edmonton and watch Schaefer play as the Thunderbirds qualified for the playoffs. Prior to the draught, Schaefer was compared to Zack Kassian and described as having “legitimate skill, scoring touch, and tenacity” and being destined to be a middle-six winger.

The Edmonton Oilers selected Schaefer 32nd overall in the first round of the Entry Draft as a result of his play and rise in the rankings. Following the draught, GM Holland praised Schaefer for being a strong competitive big player capable of playing in the NHL in two to three years.

Schaefer signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Oilers after the draught and participated in their Development Camp. He also attended the Oilers’ rookie camp, where he worked on his skating strength and explosiveness. He went through training camp with the Oilers before being assigned to the Thunderbirds for the 2022-23 season.
