As well, young guys can see an inflated value right now based on how they are [perceivably] developing. For example, Schultz's value is sky high right now. I'd say Schenn's value is somewhat higher right now as well based on his NHL play. If there was no lockout, both these guys would likely be playing at the NHL level and their production would not likely be what it is now.
