When Schultz signed with the Oiler's we were all very happy. We got chosen over 29 other markets. I remember Bob Mckenize saying adding Schultz to our team was like adding another 1st round blue chipper. We have had Schultz for a few seasons now and he has posted the following,
GP-141
G-21
A-48
P- 69
+/- minus 43
PIM 28
I honestly think Schultz is over rated. If he expects a big pay day this off season I hope to hell he wakes up. He is absolutely terrible defensively. I have never seen an NHL defenseman this bad. We all use to hack on MA Bergeron but he was miles ahead of Schultz defensively. (he actually had a big shot on the PP too)
Schultz was supposed to help out our PP. Well what does he really do on it? I know he never hits the net. I know he causes a lot of turnovers by making terrible reads with the puck. I know he doesn't have a heavy shot. He does however have a sneaky wrist shot in which other teams have watched video and now he never gets a chance to sneak in and use it.
Schultz also has 28 penalty minutes in his career as a defense man. This is almost impossible. D-men have to get dirty and clear the front of the net. Many of you may say well Lidstrom wasn't dirty and mean and look how well he did. They are completely different players.
I honestly think Schultz has caused the Oiler's more losses than wins since he has been here. I am getting tired of watching his same old mistakes game in game out.
The Oilers's should really get on the phones and shop this guy. Philly needs d-men. A lot of teams need d-men. He could return a C or better defensively sounded d-man.
I would rather Petry play on the #1 PP unit. I am sick of short handed goals against and at least Petry is versatile enough to make a pass or take a slap shot.
There are lots of players who put up big numbers in the AHL or KHL. Its nothing against Schultz and these things happen (Andy Delmore, Kevin Dallman) but maybe he isn't an NHL defenseman?
Not to mention his body language is embarrassing.
I think it's best if we move on from this guy.
