He was a finalist for the Hobey Baker the last two years, winning defender of the year and 1st team WCHA both years, and 1st team All-America last season. He's not a player who was unknown up until this last year, he's been a legitimate top NHL prospect for 3-4 years now.

I should clarify: I'm not saying Schultz is a bum. I think he'll be fine, and get 40 points in a season (not just this year), as I mentioned in my original posting.
I was speaking more generally: I just think that because a bunch of teams were after a certain player doesn't mean that player will become an elite talent. Or has talent that will translate easily to the NHL (again, generally speaking).
