Confirmed with Link: Justin Schultz (50% retained) to Penguins for 3rd round pick

[Epic Neal Time]

We gave up a third rounder for this ******* AND we have Carl Hagelin under contract for three more years? KILL ME NOW.

Never change, guys.

 

[philchaka]

50% retained.

Probably work left to do for JR.

 

[Son Goku]

You people act like the world is ending. How many players make it to the NHL from the third round? Lmao. Jeez, people are cynical. We'll see what he does.

 

[IcedCapp]

The Penguins once traded a 3rd round pick for a week of Dan Hamhuis' rights.

I think getting an actual player who might turn into something good is significantly better and not "OMGOMGOGOMGOGOGOM" worthy.

But I sniff Simon Despres' socks, so I might be wrong.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Don't like giving up a third. Schultz here kinda makes Daley expendable, imo.

Something else has to happen, this can't be all.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Wait, is this a troll post? Or are people actually still upset about Hagelin?

No, I'm making fun of people who immediately throw a fit about every trade.

(Usually I don't like to pull back the curtain on my art but I'm feeling generous today.)

 

[Shrimper]

Are they retaining? We have no room. Ugh

He's only on contract for this season.

So, we don't have to worry about next season unless we re-sign him.

50% retained.

 

[Wes C Addle]

 

[OnMyOwn]

Give it a chance people. About 3 players ever look good for the oilers.

 

[PensandCaps]

Just wasted a 3rd.....

 

[Ogrezilla]

I could understand if we had picked up some plodding defensive d, but we're playing an uptempo system that's tailor-made for skilled defensemen. If a talented but flawed d is going to turn his game around anywhere, it's here.

Well worth taking a flier on if the price is right.

That's what I'm thinking. H's far from perfect, but his strengths are exactly the strengths we seem to play to here right? A lot like Daley?

 

[OilerPensfan97]

I mean, is he better than Cole? He has to be, right?

He isn't. Trust me. At least not with Edmonton he wasn't.

 

[sf expat71]

Never change, guys.

Wait, are you being sarcastic too?

 

[Speaking Moistly]

This has to mean that Kunitz is getting moved out, right? Please, new god I'll find if he's gone.

I mean, is he better than Cole? He has to be, right?

Good Cole or bad Cole? Higher upside but he's been Oiler'd and re-signing him could be interesting.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

**** you, Rutherford. Half of the guys on this board could play better defense than Schultz.

 

[Ogrezilla]

He isn't. Trust me. At least not with Edmonton he wasn't.

And with Chicago, Daley wasn't better than Scuderi.

 

[Waffle Fries]

He's only on contract for this season.

So, we don't have to worry about next season unless we re-sign him.

50% retained.

We still need room this year, but since it's 50% I'm fine.

 

[Shrimper]

Just wasted a 3rd.....

At least him play the season here, christ.

 

[Contender]

 

[OnMyOwn]

1/2 price Shultz for a 3rd? That's not bad at all.

 

[DoktorZaius]

No, I'm making fun of people who immediately throw a fit about every trade.

(Usually I don't like to pull back the curtain on my art but I'm feeling generous today.)

That's what I figured. But you never know, some people still think Hags is a bum.

 

[Fraction Jackson]

We gave up a third rounder for this ******* AND we have Carl Hagelin under contract for three more years? KILL ME NOW.

These are not even remotely comparable things. Hags has been good and will continue to be good.

Schultz...we'll have to see. Maybe getting out of Edmonton will be good for him. Daley has fit in extremely well in this system. It's not out of the question that Schultz could too, although I don't think I'd have wanted to roll the dice on him, personally.

I have to assume there's another deal or two in the works, though.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

And with Chicago, Daley wasn't better than Scuderi.

Yeah, well...Daley had a track record of success before this year. Schultz never learned how to play defense.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Oil retains 50%?

Sounds like a solid deal. Like I said, a talent worth taking a flier on, and he provides NHL depth with Lovejoy out at the very least.

 

[Ogrezilla]

woo 50% retained.
