Thats fine. I am not going to jump on the 'rip anything and everything about Justin Schultz including his character' bandwagon.
Have at it...you have lots of company as many on here seem to enjoy ripping the person and not just the player. Status quo for an outgoing player in these parts. Kind of pathetic IMO but it is what it is.
That's a little melodramatic and a bit out of character for most of your posts.
How do you separate a player from the person? Schultz has the raw skills. Just not the work ethic. If that's 'ripping the person' so be it...
If the status quo is pathetic here why have anything to do with this board?
I think he can be a serviceable dman in the right environment...the Oilers Defence is junk and couldn't shelter anybody. That really hurts Justin as a player IMO.
His contract is also an issue.
Schultz is being paid far too much to be merely 'serviceable'. $3.9M should get you a 2/3 guy. For me serviceable is bottom pairing.
In any event the only thing we might agree on is that Schultz's best before date on this team has expired.
I think everybody agrees on that. The Oilers would have to offer him 4.3M to qualify him. Yeah, that ain't gonna happen.
How much of his salary do they have to eat to dump him at the TDL for a 4th rounder?
