Kevin Allen of USA Today: Schultz, 25, is a righty with a heavy shot from the point, and good vision with the puck…The consensus is that Schultz will never be strong enough defensively to be anything more than a power play specialist. But it’s worth a third-round pick to find out. Schultz has offensive gifts.â€

Found this quote, the bolded part made me laugh. Has this doofus ever taken a slap shot in his life? If he has, I've never seen it. Never mind characterizing his shot from the point as "heavy", ****ing worst shot I have ever seen on a PP, hands down... worst.

Brad Marchand has more PK goals since Jultz joined the league than Jultz has PP goals.

Jultz is like 50th in league for pp points/60 for D.

PP specialist is a big, big, big stretch

Who knows why Oilers look so much better without Schultz. Maybe it was his poor weak play, or maybe players just needed a little shake up (I had thought this before anyone was traded).

Whatever it is though, it worked

Can anyone say Schultz had 2 better games this year than Pardy (a waiver pick up) has had the past 2 games?

I really do appreciate what Schultz has done.

Asuno and I have devised a theory that Schultz absorbed all the suck from the Oilers and freed the team. He's our Batman.

He's the hero Edmonton deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight. - Jim Gordon

Justin Schultz: People are booing, Alfred. What would you have me do?

Alfred Pennyworth: Endure, Master Schultz. Take it. They'll hate you for it, but that's the point of Batman, he can be the outcast. He can make the choice that no one else can make, the right choice.

Respect, thats a solid theory

He took over the Horcoff role of absorber of hate. I think with Schultz, he absorbed so much hate it was throwing off the energy in the room. His ball of hate he absorbed was so big it collapsed in on itself and created a blackhole of suck. When he was traded and the blackhole disappeared, the universe was changed forever. The Oilers emerged somehow as a tough, competitive team

Im glad hes in the East with little to no pressure. He deserves a lot

A modern day hero

Where's the obligatory, post-trade interview where Schultz talks about how much more up-tempo and high-energy the Penguins practices are?

Why hasn't jultz played yet?

Why did it take him so long to join the Pens?

Supposedly he met the team yesterday in Calgary. There shouldn't be visa issues with a Canadian player playing Canada...

So Jultz went to meet the team in Calgary but they were playing in Pittsburgh. Typically out of position again....:sarcasm:

OK maybe he went to Pittsburgh. :amazed:

It shouldn't have been a visa issue. From what the Interwebs tell me all that is required is a valid player contract, and the visa transfers when the player changes teams in-season.
