Not Tyler Biggs! What're we gonna do without his size and toughness!
Wish we could've hung on to Schultz. I have a feeling he has a lot more to show than what Edmonton, or even we saw. He's probably just gonna cost way too much.
Washington??
He isn't gone yet, he's just not getting 3.9M. I think it's better than 50-50 he stays.
I think it's about 90-10 that he leaves, and that's being optimistic. Not only thanks to the tight cap, but take a look at the market. With lots of teams looking for puck movers, and Goligoski and Yandle off the table, outside of Brian Campbell (who's old) Schultz is probably the best guy available.He isn't gone yet, he's just not getting 3.9M. I think it's better than 50-50 he stays.
Other than Schultz, the players were either leftovers from Shero or throw-ins with the Kessel trade.
Not gonna lie, I'm sad for Zlobin.
I remember them qualifying Riley Holzapfel when he went to Europe too, that might just be the team's protocol when younger guys go overseas.
Schultz isn't going to "get paid" lol
He still has a lot to prove if that's going to happen. The smartest thing he could do is sign a 2-3 year deal here for 3mil, play on a team that will allow him to play to his strengths (doing whatever he wants offensively) - as well as a team with terrible defensive depth (playing time). Then cash in on his next deal.

I would be surprised if someone overpaid him badly. Those GMs were all watching and I don't think anyone had the idea that Schultz somehow was a huge difference-maker for us. He's still in the "proving himself in a new town" phase of evaluation. He got his change of scenery but hasn't shown fully yet that he can be the kind of player people expected back when he started with EDM.
I give him a 50/50 shot of remaining here.
What does it hurt to hold on to his rights for a little longer?
It takes up a contract spot does it not? Why use it up for the sake of using it up? I liked Uher but the guy has fallen so far down the depth chart, it's a pointless thing to even do, but oh well.

Was reading somewhere that Schultz wants to stay. Can't remember where it was though. I think they come to a new contact before July 1.
