It’s hard to know until he gets to junior, especially in a league so isolated from extra-provincial competition as the SMAAA18. @landy92mack29 seems to think that he was better than Heidt, Yager, Catton, and the other recent top Sask players at the same age

yeah at this point in his draft year I'd say he's quite clearly the best prospect from sask since I've been scouting back to the 04's birth year. I don't have him on Bedard or Dupont level but would put him close to McKenna for 3rd best and over guys like Savoie/Geekie/Yager/Heidt/Catton/Rudolph/Preston/Cripps/etc. We'll see how he adjusts to the WHL and eventually pro hockey but he's already too good for AAA at 14.

As a 2nd year peewee age playing up he didn't look quite as dominant as the other 3 but this year in his 1st bantam age I'd say he looks just as good as them if not slightly more imposing from a physical standpoint. Him and Surkan have great chemistry which helps. Surkan is a 1st round talent himself but will probably go in the 2nd, maybe 3rd because of size

Now that we are more than halfway through the season. Can we say that he has improved dramatically from last year and that he is simply on another level compared to Catton, Yager, Heidt?
Which NHL player would you compare him to stylistically?
Among exceptional players would you say he is a projected talent at Misa level? or an intermediary between Misa and Bedard?

Yeah he just keeps improving at a surprising rate and best sask prospect I've seen. I grew up playing against Brayden Schenn and they seem very similar in play style, Schultz skill level is just way better. We'll see how he looks in the WHL but I'd expect a Misa level prospect

He confirmed today that he is not applying for exceptional status. But he is eligible to play 34 games in the WHL next season because he was granted an exception to play U18 as an underager, so whoever drafts him 1st overall will get to use him for half the year anyway.

Where did he confirm this, and why?
 
I can understand that it might not be good off the ice. I got no insight into that and respect whatever decision he makes there, but on the ice? How does it help him to play against worst competition for more games? Does anyone seriously believe he’ll struggle next year in the WHL?

There might be some angle to this to try to get himself to Regina rather than Edmonton, that would be the only logical explanation I could come to. He eluded to that in the article I saw
