Confirmed Trade: [EDM/CHI] Duncan Keith and Tim Soderlund for Caleb Jones and Conditional 2nd/3rd round pick

[YP44]

Always thought Keith was going to retire a Hawk. This makes me sad.

I felt the same with Carter being dealt to Pittsburgh

 

[Canadian Game]

Oilers… Pretty please, don’t make this another joke of a trade.

This. I’m concerned they might trade a decent prospect or a second round pick. Shouldn’t cost much for doing Chicago a favour.

 

[Langdon Alger]

If the Oilers manage to get Keith in a swap where Neal is going the other way, it's hard to see any piece involved not making that a win for Edmonton.

I think one of Neal, Kassian or Koskinen goes back the other way.

Oilers fans will be mad no wonder what the return is.

All comes down to retention and who we give up. If there is no retention and we give up Bear, I will be upset. But if we give up Jones/moody and there is 50% retention. I do not have a problem

 

[PensandCaps]

Just what Edmonton needs. I'm sure McDavid is jumping with excitement for the corpse of Duncan Keith. Edmonton does realize that they don't have to trade for Keith right? like what is going on here? Do they really need a #6/#7 Dman that bad?

[Pointteen]

I want him here.
I absolutely think Keith for Koskinen is worth it if Seattle either has something set up or is taking someone specific.

Oilers fans will be mad no wonder what the return is.

I think we get Jones and Kostkinen if the Hawks don't retain on Keith.

Absolutely devastating for the Oilers if Neal doesn't go the other way.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Looks like they're setting up bait for Seth Jones.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Cue the meltdown!

 

[Shrimper]

The Oilers are run by f***ing morons

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

wonder if this means Chicago makes a run at Seth Jones now?

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I really like this addition for Edmonton... IMO adding a veteran like Keith is perfect for the Oil

I kinda figured Hawks would be adding the pick tho... basically Keith and a pick for Jones. So massive fail on that part

 

[ChiHawk21]

sounds like retention. they were just figuring out the extra pick to do it?

 

[Beezeral]

Absolute robbery by Bowman. Zero money back for a brutal contract.

 

[Volica]

Hawks fans: You know he's still a capable defender, you just can't be using him as your #1 guy.
Oil: They said... 1... they said nothing about #2

Remember, this was a team that had Kris Russell playing massive minutes in the playoffs in the top 4.

 

[Hunter368]

Seems like a lot to pay for Keith at this stage…….

 

[Mez]

Absolute robbery by Bowman. Zero money back for a brutal contract.

Says who? the details aren't out yet.

 

[Nucker42]

No money back? Lol thought only Benning would this dumb

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Caleb and Seth playing for Chicago next season?

 

[COHawk]

I felt the same with Carter being dealt to Pittsburgh

Only difference is LA was Carter's third team. Keith has been a life long Hawk. Definitely still a bummer though.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

As a fan of neither, I think this is a win for Chicago.

 

[YP44]

wonder if this means Chicago makes a run at Seth Jones now?

I think Hamilton
