This just in fromTSN’s Darren Dreger,talk of the Edmonton Oilers maybe moving Justin Schultz: “Justin Schultz of the Edmonton Oilers, not necessarily being shopped or not that they want to push him out of Edmonton, but (Oilers GM) Peter Chiarelli is at least willing to consider it if the right fit is there.”

Schultz was listed as one of seven “players of interest” generating trade buzz by the TSN panel, on the same list as Loui Eriksson, Kevin Shattenkirk, Radim Vrbata, Tyler Ennis, Roman Polak and Jonathan Drouin.

My take

Dreger talks here as if he’s sure of Chiarelli’s position. How credible is the TSN insider?

Dreger has often reported rumours about the Oilers. In February 2014 he reported the Oilers might move Sam Gagner to Los Angeles, but there was no rush, as Edmonton could get more for Gagner at the trade deadline or at the draft (in the end Gagner was sent out in a salary dump for Teddy Purcell).
