Gretzky to Schultz: Be an Oiler |

I have to make this quick...wedding rehearsal in 20 minutes.
But since I have a few seconds, I thought I'd pass on this neat little story to you. So how badly do the Oilers want to sign Justin Schultz?
We knew Oilers management were going to meet with him.
We knew at least one of the Oilers young stars were going to meet with him too. In this case, it was Taylor Hall.
But how would you like to get these phone calls:
"Hi Justin, this is Wayne Gretzky. I think you should play for the Edmonton Oilers."
or
"Hi Justin, this is Paul Coffey. I think you could be the next Paul Coffey if you signed up to play for the Edmonton Oilers."
It happened. I'm not sure who's ankles Kevin Lowe had to have broken to make it happen, but it happened.
So here's my question: Will calls from greats like Gretzky and Coffey make a difference?
More on this and other Oilers stuff in about five hours.
