2008 3rd round pick, yes another defensemen. Schultz is a smooth skating offensive defensemen and has the size at 6’2 but a very skinny 165, still his frame has plenty of room to add weight, get this guy to about 190 and we’re talking about a pretty decent sized player here.
Schultz is a product of the BCHL where he has lit that league up the last two years, he will now move onto Wisconsin where they are considering him a big time recruit. He’s expected to be slotted in on their 3rd d pair to start the year. This is a program known for developing defensemen, they already have atleast 4 future NHL’ers in their lineup and Schultz very well could be as well. He has to improve his defensive ability, which he should at UW again this is another boom or bust type of guy in the Ducks system he's a fantastic skater and knows how to play with the puck and make good decisions. Spending a few years at UW could really help him develop into a good pro, he could be like a Kris Letang if he fills out just solid all around offensive ability
He’s a project though I’d say hes atleast 4 years away from playing any NHL games. and could possibly be a 2nd pairing offensive defensemen if he is developed right
