The Oilers traded Schultz to the Penguins in exchange for a 2016 third-round pick Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Ben Lovejoy (upper body) is expected to miss extended time, which is why the Penguins thought it was necessary to pick up another defender before the NHL's Feb. 29 trade deadline. Schultz has been incredibly underwhelming this season, tallying 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in 45 games with a minus-22 rating over that span. Many are skeptical that the 25-year-old blueliner will live up to his third-round price tag, but the Penguins are hoping he'll perform significantly better with improved talent surrounding him. Schultz reportedly won't arrive in Pittsburgh for at least a week due to the somewhat lengthy immigration process, so it isn't clear when he'll make his Penguins debut at this juncture.
