I think he's Edmonton-bound.

I think signing with Edmonton gives him the best chance to succeed, but I still think he goes with Vancouver. I think the opportunity to play in his home province (for a team I'm sure he grew up cheering for) is too big for him to pass on.

Pfffhhht.

"Hi, I'm the Great One, calling you to go to Edmonton. No, I have not lived there for, I don't know, ever. Paul Coffey? No, he does not live there either. Whats that? Yes, it is cold and bleak as hell in the winter"

Hand covers phone...

"Kevin, he's asking when Trevor Linden is going to call, what should I say?"

Like a lifelong Canuck fan, one his coach says gets "visibly upset when they lose " would be pushed over the edge to sign there instead of the city ranked Top 5 in the World as a place to live since before Gretz' was born.


Sorry guys. Sounding a little desperate now....

The Leafs will see your Gretzky and raise you a Cliff Fletcher...All in, mofos

Seriously though, as a one-time Edmontonian and Oilers' bandwagoner I hope Schultz responds better than the Coyotes did when Gretz told them to be a good team

I really hope he signs with Edmonton. I long for the days when both the oilers and sabres were among the best in the NHL, made hockey that much more enjoyable to watch. Him signing with EDM would also put the nucks that much closer to being the new Calgary Flames, in denial with no top prospects

It's like how Vancouver was ranked one of the worst-dressed cities because all the chicks wear yoga tights. What are they talking about, that sounds wonderful

Actually I think Vancouver was ranked 5th in the world for Quality of living in the 2011 Mercer Report.

Toronto and Ottawa were 14th and 15th

Montreal was 22nd

Schultz grew up a huge Canucks fan. Chances are he likes Linden more than Gretzky.

Sounds good to me. Vancouver is nice, you just have to make sure you don't trip over the dope addicts when you're walking down the street.

who knows? That's kinda the cool part about this though. He is a free, inexpensive experiment that comes with almost no risk. If he turns out to be a bust, then so be it. Just trade the guy that you gave up nothing for and get a few assets in return. If he turns out to be the next Lidstrom, then great!
