Jeff Schultz confirmed that he wants the Washington Capitals to trade him.
Schultz played in just 26 games in 2013 and wasn't used in the playoffs. He averaged just 14:15 minutes per contest. "My agent and I thought there has got to be somewhere else where a team needs a player like myself and I can be utilized a lot more than I was here," Schultz said. "It was like I was a young first year player again with them. They didn't have that trust in me that they could put me out there in tough situations or even in the third period." If the Capitals can't find a new home for him, they might just use a compliance buyout to spare themselves of his $2.75 million cap hit.
