Scouting Report

Schiestel is still too small for the pro game but with some seasoning he could be a solid pro defenseman.  In addition to adding size he will need to improve his puck skills before turning pro.  Schiestel is a tall lanky kid which helps him have a long reach to help him in the defensive end.
