Re: Schultz
I'm still very high on him. But he is playing way too many minutes. He needs 1 or 2 more dmen to take the pressure off. Probably led the team in 3rd assists.
Re: Schultz
This ^^ for me, too. MacTavish came out after the season ended and said Hall, RNH, Eberle, and Schultz are their key guys. That spoke volumes to me, after a garbage season all-round for the Oilers. The brass still have plenty of faith in Schultz, and in the core group.Originally Posted by TeamRamrod
To me, 50 is the hope for the next few years for Schultz. But methinks 45ish is a lot more likely for the next year or two

Re: Schultz
I own this guy in one of my leagues, and although I think he's valuable, no one wants to take a sniff at him. I've offered him up for forward help or a high pick and it's like the rest of the league collectively laughs at me. I hope he rips up the league in the next year or two!!

Re: Schultz
Risky offensive blueliner plays very well in the AHL and then gets in around 50 games in the NHL where he puts up about 0.5 points per game. His defense is atrocious, but that can be worked on right?
The next season he gets in a full season and puts up around 35 points. The defense is still really bad, but I mean come on - he's young and he'll work it out right?
The Oilers just need to find him the right role and surround him with the right defensive guys ... like Jason Smith, Matt Greene, and Jan Hejda. Wait? I thought we were talking about Marc-Andre Bergeron...
He's basically started his career the same way. Granted Schultz is playing with better talent than the Oilers of mid 2000s, but Bergeron never fixed his defense and boneheaded his way right out of the league, despite being great offensively. Big time buyer beware with this kid. I'd see if I could get him on the cheap, but there;s no way I am paying much for a guy who so far has shown he has no clue in his own end.
Re: Schultz
I don't think Edmonton brought him in for his defence nor did his pairings help him. He's played 1 full season in the NHL and in the 1 and a half seasons he has played he averaged .5pts per game which is pretty good for a "rookie". Finishing 6th in team scoring this past year is not bad.
D tend to take more time to develop and Schultz will take some time and some better pairings will help. I wouldn't give up on him yet and think he will hit 45-50 pts in the next couple years if not this coming year. If you can buy low, take the risk.
