A defensive defenseman, Schneider may not produce eye-popping numbers, but his game keeps flourishing. While doesn’t have the high-end elusiveness to his game you get from some of the top end puck movers, he has added some more diverse elements to his game and is strong on his edges, which makes him elusive under pressure and he is skilled with the puck. He is a strong skater who has a wide track stance that generates a pile of power, which helps him pace play.  He always keeps his feet moving to stay elusive in transition while making sharp and snappy passes to his teammates. He is defensively stout and relies on his superior positioning, strength and stickwork to neutralize opponents. He has the combination of quickness and mobility to erase pass and skating lanes and goes for the body over the puck but also keeps an active and well-timed stick. He is excellent in breaking out and transitioning pucks and is growing his game significantly inside the offensive line, showing patience and strong passing tactics to generate high quality scoring opportunity for teammates and shot opportunities for himself. He doesn’t always a killer instinct as a triggerman but has come a long way in developing a respectable and consistent shot, though it is still evolving in terms of precision and power. He displays periodic flashes in his game that predicts he may become more of an offensive contributor, but he is still sorting out the mental aspects of the game and building confidence in this regard.
