Summary
Islanders’ Matthew Schaefer dominated as a rookie, winning the Calder and nearly the Norris—now the Rangers have their own phenom in fifth-rounder Alberts Šmits, who’s got Schaefer-level talent but needs to prove he can handle the pro grind.

Picture both rookies lighting up the NHL? That’s the dream scenario—and it’s already brewing. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
