Canucksbiggestfan Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 That's just ridiculous. There comes a time when players like Salo have to retire. We all know that. To say you'd hate Schultz for scoring the Stanley Cup winning goal but would be happy for everyone else is just a pathetic and dumb thing to say. Give your head a shake and think before you type.

TotesMagotes Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I just really, really want Salo to stay a Canuck no matter what. I would be happy we won the Stanley Cup but I would not be happy for Schultz on scoring the GWG, I would pretty much be happy for the whole team except for him really.

Canucksbiggestfan Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'm in awe that some people here would rather have Salo who will retire in a year over a top prospect like Schultz. Salo has maybe one year left. Schultz is destined to be a top 4 offensive D man for the next decade or so. Sometimes you just have to let go of the older players guys.

Canucksbiggestfan Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 What on earth did this kid do to you that would make you hate him so much? I'm hoping this is some form of sarcasm or something. Pathetic either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotesMagotes Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I would be upset if Schultz is brought in OVER Salo. If they are both signed then great I am fine with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIBdaQUIB Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hope MG can pull this off. Our "Core" needs to re-generate with some youth. Schultz would be a good start for a youth movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niloc009 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I know my reasoning does not make sense because I am hating before he has even played a single game but that is just how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucksbiggestfan Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Why would he be brought in over Salo? If Salo is signed to a 1 year 1 M deal and Schultz is signed to an ELC that's less than 2 M tied up in two solid defensemen. Signing a player to an ELC doesn't handcuff Gillis in anyway. If Salo isn't resigned it will have nothing to do with Schultz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucksbiggestfan Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Sometimes you just have to make the hard decisions and let them go. Like Ohlund, it was the right move 100% and his years in Tampa prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phamda Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 That's all I'm saying is that if Salo and Schultz are both signed then just forget what I said. I thought Schultz, would be making up to 3 million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Watched him play last night. It was from his first season with the Badgers so I'm sure he's developed alot more since then. But I did notice some positive things right away though. First thing I noticed was his skating. The guy is such a fluid skater, makes it look effortless. Reminds me alt of Hamhuis in that sense. Secondly, he's not physical at all, but he makes up for it with good positioning and stick work. He looked just as good as Gardiner from what I saw. Almost as good as McDonaugh too. Biggest wow factor for me though was when he was quarterbacking the powerplay. He just looks at home on the point. So much patience, great ability to distribute the puck, and awesome lateral movement walking the line. I didn't really see him get to wind up and shoot because the other team kept taking away his shot. You could tell they knew what he was capable of. And if that was just his first season, I'm sure he's only gotten better. He definitely looks like he could be an elite puck mover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucksbiggestfan Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 However, Schultz wouldn't decide whether Salo is coming back or not. That decision is from Gillis and co. It's not his fault if he's offered a contract from his hometown team. You're faulting the kid for a decision that's not his own. He's not saying "Salo or me". If he signs here, it's because he wants to play here, not to push Salo out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niloc009 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 True but I would see it as if MG would not sign Salo to make room for Schultz, which is why I would dislike Schultz because he is the reason Salo would not be signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucksbiggestfan Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 But it's still MG's decision, not Schultz's. You're faulting a kid for wanting to play for his hometown team. And it makes no freaking sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
