I still remember the flame wars here between Edmonton and Canucks fans when he was a free agent from college

Ultimately had a good nhl career (if it’s over) and got a couple Cups. But yes the “free prospect” nature of it makes people go a bit nutty.

He did Anaheim so dirty, glad he’s out of the league

I thought it was super funny how he went from hardly talked about around here to "OMG FREE FUTURE SUPERSTAR HE HAS TO SIGN WITH MY TEAM"

And then a handful of Oilers fans predicting numerous Norris trophies after he shit on the AHL.

Don't be bitter. You guys got Pronger and went onto win the cup

I'm not knocking Oil fans as much as I am Schultz.

I still remember when signing Justin Schultz was on lists of Red Wings option's to offset some of the loss of Nick Lidstrom that summer....

Well, it‘ll be interesting to see him don the jersey of my home team here. Welcome to Lugano.

Strange that he didnt take that tryout opportunity from the Oilers. Pretty sweet to have an opportunity to fight for a cup.

Hope some team takes a flyer on Shattenkirk he's only 48 games shy of 1000. Too bad it's getting pretty late.

His and Shattenkirk's decisions not to take PTOs is definitely an odd one. If teams aren't sure about you going into camp, they definitely are not going to be sure with you sitting at home. Maybe they felt a better offer would come via an injury or holdout but that's nothing to bank your career on.

Had to be all the trauma.
MacT thinking he would just step in to be their #1 out of college was hilarious Oiler front office delusion.

What kind of $ is he making over there? Unless his game completely fell off a cliff I can't see why the Oilers wouldn't have offered him a cheap 1 year deal.

Edmonton and Vancouver fans arguing? I refuse to believe this.

Oilers at that time were trying to out out anything that would work, Schultz was deer in a headlights.
