Announces retirement
Schultz has decided to hang up his skates, bringing an official end to his NHL playing career, Sound of Hockey reports Friday.
ANALYSIS
Schultz signed a one-year contract in Switzerland for the 2024-25 campaign, and he ended up registering six assists in eight appearances with Lugano. The 34-year-old defenseman had 71 goals, 324 points, 410 hits and 904 blocks in 745 career regular-season NHL outings across his stints with Edmonton, Pittsburgh, Washington and Seattle.

Schultz found success in his first year with the Kraken in 2022-23, posting seven goals and 27 assists over 73 games. Those scoring numbers were his best since his 51-point campaign with the Penguins in 2016-17. Schultz racked up 13 power-play points last season, though Vince Dunn remains Seattle's top option to quarterback the power play. Nonetheless, Schultz should have some fantasy appeal as an offensive defenseman who can succeed despite a bottom-four role. One factor that could impact Schultz's usage in 2023-24 is the potential emergence of Ryker Evans. Evans would likely eat into Schultz's power-play time should he make the team out of training camp.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Replaceable in Seattle lineup?
Schultz is an attractive trade candidate because he could be replaced by Ryker Evans, Geoff Baker of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Schultz has occupied a third-pairing role with power-play time this season, but that's a profile that could have value for playoff contenders if the Kraken decide to sell or retool at the deadline. The 33-year-old defenseman is the only NHL blueliner on the Kraken roster that will be a free agent this summer, so it makes sense that the team may shop him for picks or prospects. Baker also notes that when Evans has drawn into the lineup, he's taken on more minutes at both even strength and on the power play, mostly at Schultz's expense.
