What he brings to juniors
Schlappi merits a junior evaluation built around youth responsibility and management of the saved puck. His completed season provides a reason for interest, with a direct pace test needed to define the development role.

Unranked Watch-List Prospect2009 Birth Year
What translates
The prior assessment describes movement and rebound work as connected positives. A staff should judge whether those habits simplify the next defensive action when the first save fails to end the attack.
Why he is on the radar
He is unranked because the available information does not establish a distinct next-level contribution. Consideration remains justified by a workable technical base and recurring youth use.
Next development step
A recruiting staff should watch late changes of angle that create contact away from his initial position. Prompt recognition of the continuing puck and a controlled recovery would make his junior case more specific.
Competitive context
His 2025–26 record with Madison Capitols 16U lists 30 appearances, with a 2.39 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage.
