For the second straight day, the Buffalo Sabres signed one of their prospects. The team agreed to a three-year deal today with forward Felix Schutz, who was the rookie of the year in the German Elite League.
Schutz, 20, was taken in the fourth round of the 2006 draft. He had 12 goals, 13 assists and 76 penalty minutes in 46 games last season with ERC Ingolstadt. Schutz (pronounced SHOOT-z) played two seasons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League before returning to his native land.
"Felix is a great competitor who plays at a high skill level,” Sabres General Manager Darcy Regier said. “His experience in both the QMJHL and German Elite League last season has rounded his game perfectly for the professional level.”
Schutz, 5-foot-11 and 192 pounds, represented Germany in the 2007 World Championships and World Junior Championships.
