Value of: LW - Justin Schutz, Adler Mannheim (DEL)

[Jersey Fan 12]

Just signed a contract with Adler Mannheim after reaching the DEL finals with Cologne so it's likely the 24-year-old has put his North American plans on hold - if not ruling the NHL out entirely.

He was drafted but never signed by Florida but scored 20 goals in back-to-back seasons with Cologne and played for Germany in the recent World Championships (four assists in seven games).

So, not the defenseman?

So, not the defenseman?

I mean, did Schultz ever really play defense in the NHL?

The only time he denied anything at that level it was the Ducks signing him

My first thought when I saw LW was finally someone moved him to forward

Justin Schultz is also the name of a defenseman that was drafted by the Ducks, and refused to sign with them and then signed with the Oilers as a free agent, then went on to play for the Pens, Caps and Kraken. He's often mocked for being unable to play defense. Because of the common name, some of us initially may have thought it was about him and that he'd finally been moved to forward.

I had flashbacks to old DEL national teamer Felix Schutz when I saw the name. Now to go look at what Philip Gogulla is up to for next season...
