iPhone notification means it's legit.
Well my iphone notification once told me I'd won 100,000 k from a nigerian prince...
It's a win for Schultz, he earns another contract with multiple year stability, will get playing time in either Manchester or with the Kings, and he either makes one of the best teams in the league or he is subjected to waivers where someone else might pick him up this time, or he can prove himself in the minors and earn another deal. He is valuable because he can step in when needed and we aren't afraid to lose him.
I don't think he signed for 2 years without there being at least assurances that he'll be given a chance to stay on the NHL roster. These are the types of guys you want floating around as your healthy scratches
It's remarkable how boring today will shape up for Kings fans.
This assuming McNabb isn't waiver eligible yet...???
Unless they plan on losing McNabb to waivers or McNabb is an absolute disaster in training camp, there's a great chance Schultz is in Manchester.
IMO Schultz will be the 7th dman. Unless McNabb or somebody make a very strong impression out of training camp and make top 6, and push one of the guys down to 7th. I just don't see Kings sitting a 20-some year old in the press box, barring injury, for most of entire season. As we have learned in the past, this is very bad for young player development. Plus the current Kings management doesn't give "freebie" roster spot to young players

We were told we'd be sorry for putting him on the ice, but he did his job admirably and got us through Anaheim. From what little we've seen of him, he is quality depth on the blue line and I'm happy to have him back on the cheap.
