Because he plays hockey when he's under contract and doesn't discuss his negotiations in public?

The Canucks have a spot in their top 4 on the right side.

Hahaha "eat is", "sleep is", and "breathe is".

I got a feeling that it will be Edmonton, I heard they had Gretzky and Coffey give a pitch to Schultz, and that could lure anyone in.

petry plays for the oilers, bro

[T_Cage]

All I know is this kid better not be getting an TSN special when he does decide who he's signing with.....

[rynryn]

maybe they needed until tomorrow to get a proper press conference together.

Couldn't lure Phoenix to pay him.

How many times does it have to be said that the Rangers are very thin on the right saide. They have Girardi but after that there is really nothing. They have no idea if Sauer is coming back next season. Erixon experimented on the right side but is a LD. MDZ, Staal, and McD are LD. McI more then likely is not ready for the NHL and it looks like Stralman is going back to Europe to play next season.

Now folks...

Lets make some guesses on what that text would say....

so we are gonna give a rookie top pairing minutes and try to contend for the cup? I can't see that going too well.

Well, getting money out of the Phoenix Coyotes isn't exactly practical.

[Mikael Granlund]

I am surprised to see some non-Wild fans wanting to see Schultz sign with Minnesota if he doesn't sign with their team. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I suspect he will sign with Vancouver, Toronto, or Edmonton -- in that order.

It's more of a 1A/1B pairing with the Bieksa-Hamhuis pairing.
He would play even strength and PP with Edler, and probably wouldn't get PK time.

Bieksa/Hamhuis pairing used to shutdown, Edler/Schultz pairing used to score.

lol.

[Median]

I'm thinking Oilers.

I'm hoping for the Leafs, but really only the Oilers can guarantee ice time the entire season and go for another 1st overall pick.

I hope he doesnt do it before noon eastern. Good chance I'll still be drunk in the morning and I'm already constantly saying to myself "better not post that" as it is.

Have a good night all!

Slava Voynov is best buddies with Justin Schultz? News to me.

[Rivet52]

I think it'll be the Leafs. Thought the same thing when "The Monster" was deciding who to sign with.

Schultz to the Leafs just makes sense. Gardiner's there, they just traded Schenn, he could play under Burke and Carlyle, and for a Canadian team in one of the biggest hockey markets in the whole world.

If not Toronto, I'll guess Edmonton. I truly hope he goes out West.

[karnige]

oilers need this guy bigtime. hope he does go
