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

[PensandCaps]

he's not sub NHL level

Replacement level at best. such a weird trade.

 

[Captain Mountain]

This seems like a pretty big risk for a team that's just now starting clear overpaid veterans off their cap.

BAH GOD THAT'S PETER CHIARELLI'S MUSIC

This seems like pretty vintage late Detroit Ken Holland TBH.

 

[COHawk]

If no retention this is terrible. 5.5 million for a sub NHL level Dman. insane.

wut

 

[NegativeNelly]

We are screwed

Calling it now : Chicago gets Seth Jones from CBJ. They are getting his brother from Edmonton

 

[Vitto79]

It’s gotta include a goalie swap of Koskinen and Subban no ?

 

[terranraida]

amazing

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Giving away Keith for free would have been a win for Chicago, but they actually got stuff back. Holland needs to retire.

they got "Stuff" , Caleb Jones is meh and the pick is in the 3rd or 4th round. Nothing big.

 

[Ragdoll]

There better be retention, this is f***ing atrocious.

 

[JoemAvs]

Ken Holland loves his geezers...

Great deal for the Hawks (if no or minimal retention). Probably also means that Seth Jones is headed there. Really no good reason for why they would want Jones as part of the deal otherwise.

 

[Shinjuku Calling]

does he come with a time machine?

This trade is fine. That trade I'm scared shitless about.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

I mean, sure, it could be the case that a smaller role improves his numbers. It's happened in the past with other players, too. It's a HUGE risk, though.

 

[McOvechking]

Yeah, that's really bad from an Oilers perspective.

 

[Mobiandi]

New year, same Edmonton. Always good for a summer laugh

 

[super6646]

Yikes

 

[BKarchitect]

Caleb Jones and a mid-rounder is pretty insignificant value. Caleb’s best asset is being Seth’s brother.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Holland is going to extend Keith in 2023 for some crazy contract like he gave to Abdelkader, Weiss, and co. a few years back. Jesus.

 

[brentashton]

First off, I think Keith still has game and will be a positive addition to this group but I also think Without Neal or Koskinen going back the other way AND a pick and Jones out, there must be significant retention or it’s a head scratcher.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

people severely underrating Ducan Keith is crazy to see.

I think people know he is still a good dman, but this offseason its all about cap room across the league. I love the acquisition of Keith as a player standpoint, but if there is no retention, it's a gigantic fail by Edmonton

 

[golffuul]

Wow....Kenny going all in, making sure his "Tie goes to the veteran" mentality is fully realized.

 

[beowulf]

That would seem odd, giving up a young dman and a pick for Keith at this point in his career and his cap hit...got to me more too it.

 

[Cor]

Oilers finally get some cap space and are gonna waste 5.6M of it on Duncan Keith LMAO
