Schultz and his agent let it be known that they are heading into July 1st and listening to all offers 1st ?
Anaheim could trade his rights (to Toronto for example) but he won't sign so the trade is dead.

By letting that team know he has no intentions of signing anywhere before July 1st.

He could say he will leak it out that he wont sign with any team that trades for his rights. It doesnt make any sense though unless he just wants to stick it to the Ducks for drafting him.

Or he doesn't have a strong desire to sign with Toronto...

Right but why would he care if the Leafs want to give away a pick or something for his rights? It doesnt affect him in any way.

I think that's more on Burke than Schultz.

He doesn't care but why would any team trade his rights when he's not signing with anyone before July 1st ? His agent did the right thing so there's no butthurt GMs.
I believe Hamhuis rights got traded twice 2 years ago but he promptly signed with Vancouver (which means that was his plan all along).

Or Friedman's just wrong about what happened.
He should have signed with the Motor City, that's like if Martin St. Louis would have signed with the Blues.
LOL I wouldnt take Luongo for free just because of that contract.

Honestly not many of these long-term lifetime contracts look like a good idea right now
Pronger's is bad due to his concussion and age.
Bryzgalov Need I say more ?
Luongo's makes him virtually untradeable
Kovalchuk's helped bankrupt the Devils, and they might lose Parise because of it.

Richards and Carter deals don't look too bad. Ovechkin deal doesn't look awful. Not great, but not awful.

All worthy names. I don't how many hours I tried to get my wrist shot like Sakic's. Bure was simply amazing to watch the speed with his handling have no equal.

Bure is in
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW, IAN MENDES. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW.

Why's everyone so upset over his article ? Bure should be in there no question.

Surprised no Shanahan, but very happy for Bure. Long overdue.

Good couple days for Oates with his new coaching gig.
EDIT: Damnit Quick, too quick!

Happy for Bure. Now the Canucks must look bad: no jersey retirement, no Ring of Honour.

Shanahan got a note from the committee saying:
"Make better movies, then we'll talk."
"Make better movies, then we'll talk."
ya, what's up with that.
though i wouldn't put bure on the same level as sakic or oates.

Bure was so good he kept the BC papers alive for 10 years with trade rumors. He has a lot of highlight goals but I prefer to remember the Flames killer and his crazy Deke move.
KernelPanic

Bure didn't leave Vancouver under very good terms as I recall
HHOF is in Toronto
Sundin played for the Leafs
Therefore he gets in on his 1st ballot
And Pat Quinn is a member of the selection committee.

Not surprising from the guy who thought Bryan McCabe should be on the Canadian Olympic Team.

Happy about the O'Brien re-sign, he was huge for us last year. I know there's a lot of warranted distaste for him around here, but he had a hell of a season despite douchey tendencies.
Edit: Also, Super Joe. Hall of Fame can't hold all that clutch.

No need to flame. Shanny deserves to be in, just not ahead of Sundin so I guess he was an odd man out this year. He'll be in soon enough.
Burns should be in as well, but I don't know how to decide between players and coaches.

Apparently Vancouver might be a front runner in the Schultz sweepstakes according to an Oilers insider. Toronto and New York are reported to be neck in neck in second and Oilers sit fourth.
The fact that Vancouver just dropped two defensemen makes it really interesting. That 2nd pairing spot is available and I'm assuming Vancouver is telling Schultz that it's his if he can earn it. There really isn't a better spot for an offensive defenseman looking for a huge splash into the NHL.

I personally think no one has a damned clue where he's going to land.
More or less this. A case can be made for each of those teams.
In Hab's news, because I didn't see it posted, Ryan White signed a 1 year, 1 way deal for $687,000. Perfect imo, gives him a chance to show us what he has with a full healthy year, for cheap. Great deal.
Maybe he's going to KHL?
