oiler fan here. Is there any way a schultz for buff trade can make sense.
Schultz regressed this year but it was in large part due to playing with a rookie and an over the hill guy (Ference). When paired with Petry, he was successful. He played big minutes, more than he should. His 5/5 production was good but his pp production was down. That may be due to Eakins' terrible pp.
What he needs is a veteran partner and a 2nd pairing role, something the Jets can provide. In that circumstance, he can succeed.
The oilers are going to get bigger and tougher as per our new GM and Buff is a logical target. Schutlz does not fit that mold and I think he will be dealt. IMO, the Jets give him a very good chance to become a decent player.
Is he a LD or a RD. We wouldn't have a spot for him at RD in the top 4. He could possibly fit the LD spot but likely would be a pp specialist bottom pairing guy more than likely.
