If Schultz comes a pretty much no cost I don't see why a team wouldn't give him a 20 game run somewhere.
Petry, Dubnyk, Scrivens, etc are all people who leave Edmonton only to then look better.
Bring Schultz in, try to actually coach him and teach him how to play hockey, and see if him improves over 20 games. What do you have to lose if you are a team like Buffalo?
No term left after this season, and you aren't forced to give him a qualifying offer, but you can get a good first hand look at a kid who once showed a lot of promise.
