History

Schutz is one of few Germans to be playing in the Canadian Hockey League, and was one of the best, though he did not get much exposure, playing for the expansion Saint John Sea Dogs on Canada’s east coast. Schutz was selected 41st overall in the 2005 Import Draft. He showed great talent for the young and inexperienced squad, posting 52 points in 65 games, leading the team in assists and points, and finishing second in goals. He was also a member of Germany’s World Junior squad, playing in the first division, where he picked up four points in five games.

Talent Analysis

Schutz is a slick skater with great playmaking ability. He will dispense the puck more regularly than shooting, but his shot is quick and accurate. He also brings a fairly hard-nosed style of play, working hard in the corners and mixing it up physically if need be. A big-time sleeper due to his relative obscurity during the season, Schutz has the potential to be a second or third liner, and will be a big factor for next season’s ever-improving Sea Dogs squad.
