The Edmonton Oilers plan to offer restricted free agent defenseman Justin Schultz a one-year deal.

Schultz appeared in 81 games for the Oilers this season registering 31 points to go along with a minus-17.

The 24-year-old signed a one-year, $3.675 million contract last August.

Following the deal, GM Craig MacTavish said that he believed Schultz had Norris Trophy potential in the future. The Norris talk was quickly shelved when Schultz was a healthy scratch in November.

Once Jeff Petry was dealt to the Montreal Canadiens at the deadline, Schultz led all Oilers in ice time averaging 22:37 a night.
