Word out of Wisconsin is ANA draft Justin Schultz filed paperwork
to quit school. Neither Ducks nor Schultz's reps responding for
comment.

If the report is true then the Ducks have a 30-day window to
exclusively negotiate a deal with Schultz that would keep the 2008
second-round draft pick under contract and in Anaheim.

I thought any team could negotiate with him as of June 1st? He can't sign
until July 1st, but I was under the impression could talk to him.

Good, then we won't have to hear any more rampant speculation of the
most overrated player since Fabian Brunnstrom.

JD had it right. Once he filed the paperwork to leave school and enter
the NHL, the Ducks are notified and they have 30-day exclusive rights
to negotiate a contract, trade him, or let him walk and become an UFA.

So let's say the Ducks got the word on the 23rd, they'd have until the
24th of June to come to an agreement with him or figure out their next
step. If he didn't sign with the Ducks, or was traded within the 30 day
window [ in which case the trading team would inherit the exclusivity
rights ], other teams would have from the 24th on to toss him their pitch.

My best guess is since he couldn't reach a contract agreement with
the Ducks when drafted, he goes all the way to ufaville and picks the
team who wants him, and he wants to play for, and signs shortly after
July 1.

I don't know anything about his game, is he the real deal ? And should
Captain Bold [ who makes Stand Pat look like Iron Mike ] go after
him ?

"...there is a loophole in the current NHL CBA that allows
him to become an unrestricted free agent this summer (with a
limit on how much he could earn on his first professional
contract)."

"Justin Schultz seems like a player who is ready to handle a
top-four role in the NHL next season."

So there's a young, free-agent defenseman who may be ready
to step into a top four role AND will have restrictions on
his salary?

This almost sounds too good.

I can almost see Gillis and twenty-nine other GMs
salivating.
