wallstreetamigo Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 If we can trade Higgins and his extra year of cap hit and an expiring UFA like Weber and/or Prust for Shultz lets do it. If he sucks we just end up probably losing more games and getting a better pick. Plus we could maybe sign him cheaper or let him walk by not qualifying him. Either way we get more cap savings next year moving Higgins. If we are paying an asset for him like anything other than a very late pick, then forget it.

The host said that it would most likely be a cap/contract dump, did mention Higgins and Prust to help get the Canucks down a few contracts heading into the trade deadline.

You know, I wouldn't count out him at least learning some of the things he is doing wrong from the Sedins. They pick him apart pretty well. Sometimes it's just a silly little thing that he is not getting guidance on. It couldn't hurt to see. Edmonton obviously isn't great at developing their players. I know this isn't baseball, but Jose Bautista was pretty much done before he got to the Blue Jays. They saw how he is swinging and told him to start swinging a little earlier than he was and boom! 150 or so home runs later, he's one of the best in the game.

Could help out PP? That is his specialty, poor in D end That you equate Weber, Bart and Sbisa is....well, it's not.... forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amplified0ne Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 One of the only places in the NHL where I see this guy actually becoming a legit NHL d-man is in Detroit. I don't think even Nashville could turn this guy around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4ZZY Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Shultz is still young no? he would be a reclamation project type of player. can't see other teams wanting to give up too much for him. not sure what we would give up for Shultz. but if we did get him. maybe he could benefit from the Sedins and their leadership. mentoring the young man. who must be quite fragile mentally. a change of scenery may help as well. it was a bad decision initially to go to Edmonton. they basically ruined his career.

alfstonker Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 17 hours ago, HKSR said: The same argument could be made for Schultz who has only 1 season more than Horvat in terms of experience. When he was brought into Edmonton, he was supposed to be the difference maker and put into roles he wasn't ready for. From the outside looking in, one could look quickly at stats and say Horvat is the Canucks worst defensive forward lol. So you are equating Schulz's 242 NHL games to Horvat's 121 as just one season more. Really? And even if you are, one season is a hell of a lot of hockey not to mention experience. I think you've lost this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicklas Bo Hunter Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I could honestly see Higgins( some cap retained) + weber for schultz. If Edm really wanted they could even leave Higgins in the minors since he already cleared waivers and use him as a leadership piece next year and even sell him at the next trade deadline.

86Viking Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 i think a team around the league will pay more than what us canuck fans are willing to pay. I cant see them moving an rfa pp qb d man for a salary dump with a year left on his deal. That would be great, but I just dont see it happening. They may take a salary player back but likely want a prospect or draft pick on top of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
