Hey I think Edmonton has a great shot, but it's an ELC so money can't be much of a factor. If we were talking about burying him in the A then I agree we'd have no shot. Babs likes to split his d-men mins evenly and he gives younger guys like E tougher match ups. So I think you are underestimating the value of having a coach like Babcock. We can make a strong case that Schultz will get 20+ mins and be given a chance to grow into a top 2 spot where he'd get tough mins.
