DIBdaQUIB Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'm getting tired of the Coilers - how many first overall picks is that? They just keep expecting to be rewarded for losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 It's amazing how a player that has had no previous NHL experience is getting the amount of interest that he is from NHL teams and fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i love semin Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 He won't sign here. The Oilers have likely guaranteed him a top 4 spot to start the season, treated him like a king, got Gretzky and Coffey to kiss his arse and tell him how great he'll be in Edmonton. He might have wanted to play for the Canucks, and the Canucks might have given him a nice pitch, but at the end of the day the Oilers are saying "sign with us, and you'll be a top 4 d-man in the NHL next season" while the Canucks are saying "sign with us and maybe you can work your way into our starting line up" Career always trumps sentimentality. He might be a huge Canucks fan, but he's being faced with the choice between a team that will guarantee him ice time in the NHL as soon as next season, and a team that most certainly will not make such a promise. The Oilers smelt blood, that's why they got Gretz to call. That call probably sealed the deal. Could you imagine being a 22 year old and getting that call?

thehamburglar Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Bill Sweatt is nothing spectacular, and he did get a call up last season. Although it wasn't much of one. I definitely wish we still had Lee in our system. What's the deal there? We traded his rights to Ottawa and then he "retired" to pursue a business endeavor? I was in the Canucks Outlet Store the other day and they had one of his away Game Worn jerseys there for sale. I was tempted to pick it up, it had some pretty decent wear on it.

Drive-By Body Pierce Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 If he signs with Edmonton, it will also be why he likely ends up on the LTIR within the first 2 months. They have no depth and he is not a big body. They will expcet him to be their Shea Weber and the kid has never played against grown men in an 82 game schedule. Both Hall and RNH have seen some pretty serious injuries because they are thrust into leading roles on the Oilers before they are mature and strong enough to handle the size and speed of the league. I see the same scenario for Schultz if he chooses guaranteed top 4 minutes over the opportunity to work his way into that position. HIs agent will likely urge him to go where he gets the most exposure as that will mean a bigger contract when he becomes a UFA in 3 years. IF he's as good as everyone seems to think, he should show some humility and sign with the team that will best prepare him for a long and successful career. Not a cheap and easy ride to the top where he may succeed but he also may fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
