The Pittsburgh Penguins have made it clear that Schultz is their main priority right now. After offering a qualifying offer of $1.4 million which was soon turned down, negotiations have been underway, the NHL reported.
Schultz played spectacular this season. With the absence of number one defenceman Kris Letang, Schultz stepped up and filled his shoes by putting up 51 points on the season. His performance has surely earned him a huge payday and he is ready to cash in.
We know he wants a long-term contract with the team, but exactly how much should the Penguins be looking to sign him for?
