Two months earlier, the mother of his billet family was struck and killed by a train and last December Otters owner and Schaefer's mentor, Jim Waters, died of a heart attack.

He was the eighth player granted CHL exceptional status, allowing him to play at 15. He was the OHL's rookie of the year in 2022 and helped Saginaw win the Memorial Cup championship the following year. After playing wing his first two seasons, he seamlessly made the switch to center this season. NHL Central Scouting report: 'He's bigger, stronger and faster than previous seasons. ... A clever play-maker who makes plays at speed and knows how to put the puck in the net. ... His quickness, creativity and hockey sense are off the charts.' Anton Frondell, center, Djurgarden, Sweden (Tier 2) Hometown: Stockholm, Sweden. Measurables: 6-feet, 198 pounds. Turned 18 in May. Expected to be selected: Could go No. 2 to San Jose.

After playing 10 games in Sweden's junior league, he made the jump to the second division, where he had 11 goals and 25 points in 29 games. In 2023-24, Frondell led his junior team and finished tied for sixth in the league with 39 points (18 goals, 21 assists) in 29 games. NHL Central Scouting report: 'Has perfect balance in his skating and makes it difficult for opponents to catch him. Wins most of the one-on-one battles.' James Hagens, center, Boston College Hometown: Hauppauge, New York. Measurables: 5-foot-11, 177 pounds. Turned 18 in November. Expected to be selected: A top-10 selection, who could prompt teams to trade up should he fall to No. 9 (Buffalo). Accomplishments/background: Hagens is the top-ranked American-born player at No. 3 on central scouting's list. A high-scoring playmaker who grew up an Islanders fan on Long Island. With 11 goals and 26 assists, he finished fourth in points among college freshmen. He scored five goals for America's gold medal-winning team at the world juniors. A year earlier, Hagens earned world junior tournament MVP honors with nine goals and 22 points. In two years on the U.S. national development team, he finished fifth on the career list with 187 points and 115 assists. NHL Central Scouting report: 'Always a scoring threat off the rush and can set up his teammates from anywhere. ... He wants the puck on his stick and has game-changer ability. The complete offensive package.' Caleb Desnoyers, center, QMJHL Moncton Hometown: Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec. Measurables: 6-foot-2, 178 pounds. Turned 18 in April. Expected to be selected: Chance to go 4th (Utah).

He finished fifth in the Q with 84 points (35 goals, 49 assists) in 56 games. He followed up in earning QMJHL playoff MVP honors with nine goals and 30 points in 19 games. He's a three-time gold medalist in winning at the Under-17, Under-18 championship and the 2024 Hlinka/Gretzky Cup. NHL Central Scouting report: 'He's willing to do most of the dirty work to retrieve 50-50 pucks, and will play a physical style when needed. His skating is good and will continue to get more powerful as he matures physically. ... Prospect who has lots of transferable pro elements in his game.' Joshua Ravensbergen, goalie, WHL Prince George Hometown: North Vancouver, British Columbia. Measurables: 6-foot-5, 190 pounds. Turned 18 in November. Expected to be selected: Has opportunity to be the ninth goalie taken in the first round since 2011. Both Philadelphia (No. 6, 22, 31) and Nashville (5, 23, 26) are potential landing spots, with each having three first-round selections. Accomplishments/background: Ravensbergen is central scouting's top-ranked North American goalie and went 33-13-4, finishing tied for the WHL's second-most wins. He went 26-4-1 last year, with a rookie league record-tying six shutouts. In two WHL seasons, he has a 2.78 goals-against average and .904 save percentage. NHL Central Scouting report: 'Has a huge pro presence and plays big even when down in the butterfly with excellent low-net coverage. ... A combination of size and ability, he has a good chance to become an NHL starter.'

Everton remain in talks with Villarreal over Thierno Barry, hopeful of reaching a deal
Talks are ongoing between Everton and Villarreal over a move for Thierno Barry. The Athletic reported in the Transfer DealSheet on June 4 that Barry, 22, was being tracked by Everton, as the club look to bring in a new striker this summer to compete with Beto. The two clubs are yet to reach an agreement for the French striker, but Everton are hopeful of completing a deal. The Premier League club, however, are not believed to be the only side in the running for Barry. Advertisement Everton's pursuit of Barry is complicated by his participation at the Under-21 European Championship with France, plus a release clause set at €40million (£34.1m). The club would prefer to negotiate with Villarreal rather than trigger that clause. A bid in excess of €30m (£25.5m) is likely to be needed to tempt the La Liga club into selling. Everton struggled for goals in 2024-25, with their league tally of 42 the lowest of any of the 17 clubs to avoid relegation. Barry joined Villarreal on a five-year deal from Swiss club Basel last summer and scored 11 goals across 37 appearances in his debut campaign in Spain. He spent his youth career across several French clubs before making his breakthrough at Belgian side Beveren in 2022-23, scoring 20 goals in all competitions. The France youth international moved to Basel in 2023, where he scored 20 times in 41 appearances before joining Villarreal last summer. Meanwhile, Kenny Tete is yet to make a final decision on where he will play his football next season. The Dutchman, whose deal with Fulham runs out at the end of the month, has an offer on the table from Everton, who have made progress in talks. An offer from Fulham also remains on the table though and the prospect of remaining at Craven Cottage has not been discounted by Tete and his camp. Analysis by Thom Harris Barry is tall, quick, and relentless in his running. Only one player across Europe's top seven leagues — Benfica's Vangelis Pavlidis — has made more runs in behind per 30 minutes of team possession in 2024-25, illustrating Barry's eagerness to attack whenever his team has the ball. Barry is strong in the air too — only two La Liga forwards have taken more headed shots than him since he joined from Basel last summer — but there is an element of chaos to the 22-year-old's all-action game. He often opts for power over accuracy in front of goal, even taking to social media to apologise to playmaker Alex Baena after a 2-1 win over Real Valladolid for not converting all of the chances he slid his way. Advertisement When he gets it right, however, Barry is difficult to stop. This thumping volley away at Getafe highlights his ability to hold up the ball, as he scraps with full-back Juan Iglesias and barges past two more in midfield before instantly looking to stretch the defensive line. He gets on the end of Ayoze Perez's chipped pass and smashes home first time. Por la jugada. Por la asistencia. Por el remate. Lo de @Barry29Thierno es un golazo 😮💨#GetafeVillarreal | #LaLigaHighlights — Villarreal CF (@VillarrealCF) April 1, 2025 Barry's tally of 11 goals in his first La Liga season is strong, the quantity and the variety of chances falling his way a direct result of his head-on approach.

Real Madrid star's AC Milan switch confirmed
A long-time member of the midfield ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid will join Italian heavyweights AC Milan this summer. As much was confirmed by transfer insider Fabrizio Romano on Wednesday, with Luka Modrić the player in question. Advertisement The name of veteran midfielder Modrić of course dominated the headlines across all of Europe last month. This came after confirmation that Real Madrid had made the call not to offer the 39-year-old a new contract was followed by swift links with a whole host of clubs throughout the continent.
