Kölner Haie of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL), to Admiral Vladivostok of the KHL.
Playing career
Schütz was drafted in the fourth round, 117th overall, by the Buffalo Sabres in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. Schütz was drafted from the Saint John Sea Dogs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League after making the move to North America from playing in Germany with the Landshut Cannibals.[1]
Upon completing his second season in the QMJHL between the Sea Dogs and Val-d'Or Foreurs in 2006–07, Schütz returned to Germany to play professionally in the DEL with ERC Ingolstadt. Schütz posted an impressive 12 goals and 25 points as a rookie in the 2007–08 to earn a three-year entry level contract with the Sabres on May 7, 2008.[2]
Schütz spent the next two seasons in the American Hockey League with Sabres affiliate, the Portland Pirates. Despite the possibility of remaining with Pirates for a third consecutive season, Schütz opted to play in Germany and returned to Ingolstadt on a two-year contract on October 20, 2010.[3]
Schütz scored the overtime winning goal for the host country, Germany, against the U.S. in the opening-round of the 2010 IIHF World Championship.
