The thing about Toronto is if he is having a hard time adjusting to the NHL he can spend some time in the AHL and not have to move. It may be in his best interest to spend some time in the AHL to get adjusted to the Pro style and if he does he can still room with his buddy Jake. As well if there is a lockout he and Jake can still hang in Toronto and play for the Marlies.

Question is which team offers the best chance for Justin to max out bonuses, which team is the best fit can he make an impact most on? which is the best fit for him?

Edmonton offers him the best chance to make the team, but that is still a woeful defence.

Vancouver could use him, but he would be the 5th or 6th Defenceman.

Toronto? Is he better than Komi? He may just ask this and weigh it. If Schenn was here, he would probably see a log jam.

Going to be an interesting week.

Is Schultz allowed to say who he is going to sign with before July 1st but not officially sign until that day or can he not say anything until July 1?
