Without the stick. And that's a problem, alright. Schultz + Edler (ulp) Schultz + Sbisa (double ulp) Schultz + Hutton (how much more can a rookie handle?) call up Pedan if you want size and grit, he is gonna be on our roster next year regardless unless we risk waivers . If we got Schultz maybe we dont end up moving Hammer regardless as he may not waive, or may walk into Bennings office and say I will sign for a cheap amount to stay hear and mentor the youth keep he here, you know this offer on paper is too good for you to not lock me up. Then he can move Edler possibly for greater return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Prust and Higgins for Schultz is the only way I do this We clear off salary cap for this year and next... and we let Schultz go in the summer by not qualifying him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if he was traded in some kind of package for Hamonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except we dont wanna move a 2nd rounder for him we wanna send salary back to edmonton agreed, higgy might be a good fit for the Oil, or even weber to fill that vacant d spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.B Cooper Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 3 hours ago, Yotes said: i agree he is, but if its contract that has to be similar for similar age player, sbisa is the only choice. Maybe they take depth leadership in higgins? weber could just stay on their ahl team if they want to dump him, maybe we can dump a contract of ours their way You don't trade a much better player for a piece of garbage just because cap hits match up. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. The last couple days, people on here seem to be getting dumber and dumber. Use your damn head people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schultz is that sbisa is a lefty who can slot on the right side. Thats only if benning wants to move a d with similar cap sbisa is the only option for that. Edmonton has 8 nhl d, so not sure they want one coming back, maybe they take weber as he is already in ahl. If we make a move like vrbata for a 2nd, would benning trade a pick for him? That is what he did for Vey and Sven, i hope it wouldnt be a 2nd tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beni Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Shultz has declined this season. Well below his past few years production. Higgins may be a decent vet for Edmonton and he might enjoy playing with them? There is a chance that Hamhuis would pair well enough with him to put up a few more points? Only if all other PMD options would be off the table. (Still would like to see hamhuis moved for pick/prospect) and then re-signed in the off season if he wanted back at a reduced salary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Why do some of you guys want this guy? The Sedins love it when he is on the ice because they can bounce him around like a rag doll. Lets connect the dots here: what do all of these guys have in common Hamhuis Tanev Bartkowski Hutton Edler (on at least half the nights) They are pillowy soft. The softest D crew in the NHL and some of you want to add King Charmin Soft Justin Schultz to that roster? We need big, mean, you know...a guy that can knock other guys off of the puck, or maul someone for doing something stupid like running the goalie or a rookie. Schultz = opposite of what we need. Please NO! NO! someone close this thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckinEdm Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 IMO anyone picking up Schultz is just stupid, he is currently set to become a RFA and will need to be qualified at 3.9 Mil which is absolutely terrible for what he brings to the table bottom pairing dman with 1 to 2 line PP he is essentially Marc Andre Bergeron.

Please NO! NO! someone close this thread... Sure. Sure. But big tough D can be acquired through other opportunities. We don't have a good PMD/PPQ. Schultz can be one piece of the puzzle. Put him in the mix with Pedan and potentially Tryamkin we ain't so bad. And you forgot Biega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he fails, simply don't resign him. Result is the same as letting Weber and Prust go at the end of the season (cap space), except we get someone we can try to salvage as a short-term project. Even better if Higgins goes as we lose his salary a year early. Tanknation would rejoice, as he would likely add some lead ballast to the bow.

Listen to yourself. Our D sucks. And if people would actually watch the game, sbisa is what we need right now. Our d is soft as butter. He is the only one not scared to actually hit. We need to improve. We can add Shultz. I'd be down for that. But her is just plain piss poor at everything but offence. Give them Higgins and a 4th at most.

Honestly i think the Oilers will just not sign him at the end of the season and then you could essentially sign him for 1-2 mil if you really wanted him for a project. There is rumors here (Edm) that he might just call it quits on hockey as he doesn't really like it and just did it to get paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes our D sucks, there is 0 offence back their, hence why Schultz while being soft atleast addresses the ability to provide some help to our pp and he happens to be a rhd. If he plays horrible walk away, so what you honestly think Schultz will hinder us making the playoffs or something, look where we stand as it is.

We are dumping Weber, Prust, and Higgins anyway, so why not bring him in early to audition? Then after watching him for 25-30 games we can decide whether to offer him anything at all. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. What is there to lose, especially if we cannot do anything else with the waiver boys than let them play out the string in Utica? The key here is, do NOT offer anything more than what we're already trying to dispose of. Suggesting Sbisa or draft picks is indeed silliness. Oilers want to dump their junk, so do we. Fair swap.
