UFA Update: #Oilers are perusing the market for right-shot D, including Justin Schultz, Tyson Barrie and Kevin Shattenkirk, among others.


Shattenkirk played 61 games, so missed a quarter of the games to either injury or healthy scratches. He also only played in 6 of 13 playoff games, so when chips were down, he was eating popcorn. His -2 tied some guy named Mason Lohrei for worst among defencemen on the Bruins.

Schultz played 70 games, was team worst -23. For anyone counting, that's -18 worse than the next closest defenceman. Bad team, but relative to his peers, he was getting eaten alive.

Barrie only played in 41 games, and only 1 of 6 in post-season. Despite only playing in half the games, he was the worst +/- on Nashville at -10. Next closest dman was Lauzon at -3.

On its own, +/- isn't a great stat, but looked at on relative basis comparing teammates, it tells a lot of the story. Either these guys were very unlucky last year, or they were very defensively suspect. I suspect the latter...

I probably would go with what we've got rather than add one of them, although if at league minimum so that it could get buried in the minors, I suppose it would be low risk.



"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
