cIutch Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 The general hockey discussion is really the Oilers discussion cause there alway seems to be some story relating to them in here i understand some of you are like 14 and see young players as the way to go cause you can relate to them i guess but there a long way away from a cup i mean they finished 2nd last rnh weighs like 60 pounds , hall is going to have an injury plauged career , yakupov is russian so if he doesnt book it to the khl now he will eventually which leaves eberle , the only true player that will consistently make an impact shultz is nothing right now ,hes never even played an nhl game so i dont understand the hype yeah , good luck on that all star team 2 years from now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfruits Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 its great the oiler kids are dominating the ahl right now or at least they should with pretty much half of their nhl roster down there its still tough to tell how good schultz is until he actually gets to the nhl because junior college and ahl hockey albeit competitive can easily been dominated by a player and then said player comes to the nhl and has little to no impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkstar Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Schultz - who cares? And I say that in response to the implied whining from King that Gillis couldn't land him. Boohoo. Good for Edmonton - he wanted to play with all those young guns and get his guaranteed ice time. Contenders don't give guaranteed ice time to anyone, let alone guys who hadn't even played an AHL game in their career. Yeah - playing with Eberle, Nugent Hopkins etc will result in some points. Good for the Oilers - if he wasn't going to sign here, I'm glad they got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 It was a smart move by him to go to Edmonton. They have the potential to win a bunch of cups in the future. Vancouver on the other hand is starting their decline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sting Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Tremendous start by Schultz! Kid looks impressive but alot of players have entered the AHL or even the NHL with impressive stats. Nikita Filatov, Fabian Brunnstrom or even Jordan Schroeder at a point a game when he joined the Moose. College kid who has never played pro is going to have some major adjustments to make to 82 games and the size and forechecking of pro players. So i would caution appointing him the next Shea Weber just yet. I'm sure the Oil have a beauty prospect here......BC kid too. Sucks Gillis couldn't sign him.

King of the ES Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 Scoring, hitting, fighting, and skating exceptionally well for a big guy - only King could find slow and indifferent while watching that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Wow, you actually buy the "guaranteed ice time" line by Gillis? That's rich. If Schultz sucks, you can be pretty certain that Edmonton WILL NOT be playing him. I bet Wade Redden assumed that his ice time was pretty guaranteed, too. Edmonton tried harder to get him. They got Gretzky to call. They brought in Hall and RNH. Mike Gillis brought Alain Vigneault. Edmonton won. Imagine that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Why Did Justin Schultz Choose the Oilers? "On the money side of the equation the current CBA did the Oilers a huge favour in the Schultz sweepstakes. First because of the restrictions on entry level contracts it put them on a level playing field with everyone else meaning that Tambellini, no matter how hard he tried, couldn't shoot himself in the foot with this deal. Secondly because the CBA outlines the minimum requirements for every bonus choosing a team where he would be instantly guaranteed ice time gives Schultz the best chance of capitalizing on the $2.85M available to him." Some of the CBA ELC bonus parameters that would have been extremely difficult for Schultz to meet in Vancouver: 1) Top four among defence in ice time, aggregate or per game 2) Top three on the defence in plus/minus 3) Top two in blocked shots http://www.coppernbl...oose-the-oilers Wah, boohoo, Gillis didn't try hard enough...

Darkstar Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Aha. He was smart to go there where he'll get playing time. In Vancouver he would have had to compete for that. Will mark your words on the decline claim though. Best of luck with your cup in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelons Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 That's "trashing" him? Really? I'm calling out the obvious hypocrisy of people saying "wait for the NHL!" with Schutlz, yet the Lucic comparisons and "beast mode!" comments to Kassian come out in spades if he scores. That's it.
