avelanch Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 NO. On July 1st he is a UFA, so even if they fix the loophole in the CBA it would not affect him. It will only affect the players that are still property of a specific team. Schultz wont be property to anyone following July 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 no, if he chooses to stay in college and finish his degree while playing a final year in wisconsin, he remains the property of the ducks. the loophole only exists for players who leave college before graduating. once he declaires that he's leaving college and becomes a UFA he's ineligible from returning to Wisconsin for a final year.

avelanch Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Alot of players choose to finish off their degree later on though. I think it would be a mistake on his part to go another year. I don't think his stock is ever going to be as high as it is now. And the sooner he burns off his two year contract, the sooner he can start earning the big bucks.

DeNiro Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 agreed, i was just pointing out that he cannot play for wisconisn again if he declairs himself a ufa on july 1st, since 2009 cup champs seems confused on the situation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avelanch Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I am not confused. What I said that he would go back to school and finish his degree if there is a lock out this year. He would then be a UFA next year once the the season starts up again. There is a chance that they may change the rules relating to this but I highly doubt this will be a big concern and will not be addressed since there is so many other pressing issues to cover.

UFCanuck Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I hope Patrick McNally doesn't stay at Harvard 4 years and then screw us over like Shultz is to Anaheim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standing_Tall#37 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 If Anaheim don't sign him, I bet Toronto will. Burke is the only gm dumb/desperate to give him 4-5mill/year before he's even played a game in the NHL. That and him and Gardiner are good buds.

2009cupchamps Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 this is one of the major issues in the media and gm's minds going into negotiations. every analyst has stated they expect this hole to be plugged in the new cba. and there is no way in hell the nhl has a season lockout, they just started to recover from the last one, they can't afford to have another one. it's in shultz's best interest to go ufa now and avoid the possibility of locked into the ducks via the new cba, plus it burns a year of his ELC, meaning he can get into a high pay grade faster. he can't just sit back and go "i may go ufa, i may not, depending on how negotiations go. as soon as he declares himself as leaving school and going pro he's no longer allowed in the NCAA. another season in school will no longer be an option, and he needs to declare it before June 1st otherwise he won't be a ufa until august 15, 2013, regardless of whether there is a lockout or not.

Toews Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 If I am not wrong Schultz will look for a contract with max bonuses which will probably push his cap hit to 3.5m+. I remember there were a lot of people that were against signing Garrison because he only had one good season. In that case Schultz is similar 3.5+ caphit for a guy that has yet to play in the NHL.
