On the Oilers top unit they went with RNH as the PP-QB on the right side halfwall, Potter at the point in the middle of the ice, Eberle on the left halfwall/slot, Horcoff in front of the net and Hall on the right side goalline/behind the net. Schultz can easily take the Potter spot since he is also a righty shot and given the fact he is now the best/most mobile defenseman on the team. It'll be interesting to see how they fit Yakupov in there however since Horcoff is the most expendable forward on that unit and yet his position as net presence does not allow him to be replaced by a skilled guy. I could see the team instead going with a Hemsky-Gagner-Yakupov second power play unit and sticking with the top unit the team had before. That gives them two fantastic power play units, which is a huge asset. Of course the team does seem to have too many chefs and not enough dishwashers. RNH, Hemsky, Gagner and probably Eberle and possibly Yakupov could all QB a powerplay from the forward spot. That's just way too much skill on one team. Something will have to give. Most of which is beside the point. The most important thing to note is that if Schultz is good enough to make the Oilers there is presumably no reason he wouldn't be on their top unit as he is almost a perfect fit. I do think it would be nice if he had a bigger point shot to make him more of a threat on one-timers so that more holes would be opened up for everyone else but that's just quibbling. - metaldude26 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 16:37:39 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4725-justin-schultz-taking-his-talents-to-edmonton#comment-21551 Nick Schultz... - angus Sat, 30 Jun 2012 16:28:11 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4725-justin-schultz-taking-his-talents-to-edmonton#comment-21550 I think we could see 4 forwards 1 D on Edmonton's PP in the near future. I can't see any of their big 4 not on PP1. - Brady19 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 14:31:04 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4725-justin-schultz-taking-his-talents-to-edmonton#comment-21549 Whitney – Petry Schultz – Smid Sutton – Schultz Potter This kid is the second coming - he's playing in two spots in the top 6! - His Dudeness Sat, 30 Jun 2012 14:09:34 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/19-nhl-deals/4725-justin-schultz-taking-his-talents-to-edmonton#comment-21548 I feel Yakupov will be on the 1st-PP and not Hall.. - Zorro Sat, 30 Jun 2012 13:48:04 +0100
