Sign Nick Schultz and Justin Schultz and have the Schultz trio

The two way part of this is key. Good to have depth defensemen with offensive upside, rather than just slow lumbering guys.

edit: Oh... I see. Got it completely backwards.

edited title for people to know its jeff

 

[McDonald19]

meh, guess he takes the Shane O'Brien San Diego spot.

 

[Osprey]

He was surprisingly decent in the few games that he played for LA. Many of those games were... you guessed it... during the LA-ANA series in 2014, when Mitchell was injured in Game 1 or 2 and Schultz, amazingly, filled in quite admirably for the rest of the series. It's funny how teams tend to remember players who were on teams that eliminated them.

My heart sunk a bit...thought it was Justin.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Read too quick and thought it said "Justin".

That would have been priceless.

 

[Call me betty*]

Wanted it to be Justin, just for the lulz factor.

 

[Duck Off]

He's an upgrade to O'Brien for SD so I like it.

 

[LowFive]

Someone to help fill that 6-7 Dman after Fowler is traded to Detroit? That's what i'll tell myself anyway...

 

[Joel Ward]

It still boggles my mind that this man was once a plus 50 in 73 games.

 

[Telos]

About as solid of a #7 as you can get. Glad he found a home, though it sucks that it was the Ducks

 

[Osprey]

It still boggles my mind that this man was once a plus 50 in 73 games.

He was a +50 once, was a 1st-round pick and won a Stanley Cup and a Calder Cup in back to back years. He's either incredibly lucky to have achieved all of that or incredibly unlucky that the best that he can do is a 2-way deal while people confuse him for someone else. I'm not sure whether to feel happy or sad for him. I hope that he gets a chance with Anaheim and does well, though.

 

[Yog S'loth]

Wouldn't re-sign with the Kings because all they would offer him was a 2-way deal.

Signs 2-way deal with Ducks.

Good luck to you Jeff, see you in San Diego.

According to cap friendly it's a 1yr 575k deal.

No risk signing, good depth dman

 

[Hivemind]

Solid depth defenseman. You could do worse for a #8/9. Can kill penalties in the NHL well.

(Just like several others) I thought this was Justin at first.

I also though Anaheim had a lot of D depth...
