Who do you see grabbing stud D-man Justin Schultz this summer?
Will the Ducks sign him before June 1st or will he walk?

He's not a UFA on June 1st. Its a different set of rules. Look at Wheeler, Gregoire and Blake Kessel for examples.
In b4 Edmonton and it's not even close.
Guys guys...his favorite place to visit is Edmonton! Time to get the Schultz Oilers jerseys stitched up.

Edmonton will be one of the leading candidates, while teams like New York, Vancouver, and Toronto are certainly in the running as well, I don't see why it's funny that Oilers fans are hoping he signs here. He likes the city, it's in Western Canada and he can be in his hometown after like a 1 hour flight, and the Oilers have a defense void and Schultz knows he can crack the lineup with ease.
Edmonton is definitely one of the leading candidates...unless you think we should take your word over Bob McKenzie's.
Call me an idiot but why has Anaheim not signed him yet ?

Having one of the best sources in hockey thinking Edmonton is the front runner makes it pretty easy to vote for Edmonton.
I’ll say the Edmonton Oilers, and we’re already breaking the Anaheim Ducks fans who still hope that he might turn out there; I don’t believe he’s going to be there. I’ll say the Edmonton Oilers. I think this Kelowna kid would be happy to play in Canada. I also think it would be great for him to grow old with guys like Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jordan Eberle, and Taylor Hall. He’s the missing piece of the puzzle in Edmonton, a power play quarterback.
You do realize McKenzie said himself that there was no source behind this, it was just him speculating on where would be the best "fit" for him.
He is making an educated guess, evaluating the pros of each team in the running, and has arbitrarily chosen Edmonton as its who he feels is the best place for him. His guess is as good as anyones.
This is as valid as saying Detroit because Aaron Ward said so or Toronto because Marc Crawford said so.
Most NHL management types feel the Rangers have the inside track to get Jason Schultz, the best. U.S. college defenceman who looks like he’ll go on the open market because it doesn’t appear he wants to sign with the Anaheim Ducks, who drafted him. “He could play with (Derek) Stepan and (Ryan) McDonagh, two former University of Wisconsin teammates,†said one NHL GM, who feels he has no shot at Schultz.
Q: Sum up what it’s like being a New York Ranger.
A: It’s an unbelievable experience, but I think it’s a unique experience just with the whole city and the way that you travel ... getting to and from the Garden is an experience in itself every day. The way they treat you here — coaching staff and the owners, the way they have meals ready for you, and all the staff at the Garden here, they make coming to the rink and everything so much more enjoyable. ... It’s a place that at this stage of my career I know I never want to leave.
Makes sense.Looks like he doesn't want to sign there.
Get with it, Bob IS the insider.

That being said, it will still be incredibly difficult for the Oilers to lure him away from a bigger market team like Toronto. Especially when you consider one of his good friends (Jake Gardiner) is the focal point on Toronto's blue line for the future.
someone obviously didnt read past the 1st sentence of the person he quoted
