I think the Oil should try and get this guy signed early in the season at a lower AAV just in case he has a killer season and ends up demanding more next summer. Somewhere around 4years at $12 mill total would be good.

And thats also the exact reason he and his agent would try and wait it out.

Like a lot of rookies he stormed out of the gate and then completely petered out.

Also, I feel a lot of his numbers are situational. If the Oiler's had less garbage on D would he get so many of the top offensive minutes? Is it because he's the guy or a guy.

But I guess the same argument could be made for a lot of dmen.

But as for pay, look at the 4 million dollar Dmen that signed their deals at the same point of their careers. Voynov, JJ, Shattenkirk, Fowler, Josi, Giordano, Hamonic, Staal, Vlasic, etc. Has Schultz even proved as much as any of them?

Hell, I don't even think he's proved more than a guy like Del Zotto or Kulikov.

Then look at the 5million dollar guys. OEL (big overpayment for what he's proved), Yandle, Keith, Seabrook, Kronwall, McDonaugh. Not even close.

And he's so far out of his league at AP money I don't even want to start.

Just to be clear, I wasn't saying JS is as good as AP, it was more a comment in how high Dmen are getting paid nowadays.

I don't think they are getting that much more. A quick look at the below shows 7 d-men in the top 25 for cap hits and now it's 5 in the top 25.

Split squad games are always like this. Don't read much into it.

I'll be more interested in seeing some real preseason lines once the first cuts are made.

Lets go Oil!

Honestly though do you have some sort of browser that detects wrestling posts in random threads?

Shultz is probably going to be signed to one of those bridge contracts we are all sick of hearing. Subban money probably. 2-3 years around 6-9 million.
