WTF.

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Still wanna see retention.

 

[tardigrade81]

Wow!!!! Holy crap c

 

[Soli]

This is a horrible deal as is, with no other details…

no retention or cap back? Fffffffff

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Fleeced. What a f***ing joke.

 

[The Safe Play]

Lol that's what you get for ignoring all the data and not having an analytics department that can tell you just no.

 

[Oildrum]

I like to go read other teams forums to get a more non biased opinion on trades. They are all laughing at us for getting fleeced, good to know it's not just us.

I can see the press conference now "He isn't a sexy player but he brings a lot of experience"

Waiting on retention.

Happy with the trade honestly, I like adding this player to our room. Guys like McDavid will be stoked.

Happy we didn't give up any promising prospects. Biggest thing for me is retention. And obviously now we need to protect him.

 

[Drivesaitl]

I hated this idea so of course its happening.

My lord. lets trade for some dinosaurs while we're at it Ken Holland.

People act like this is Duncan Keith in prime.

So we acquire this fossil AND give back in trade just so we have to waste a protected spot on him.

"The price you pay" part 2.

 

[Oilhawks]

Is Shannon just parroting what others have said? Didn’t sound like a done deal yet

 

[brentashton]

Still wanna see retention.

NEED to see retention.

 

[McShogun99]

Did Chia just become the GM?

and we added a draft pick….

 

[The Moose is Loose]

I don’t think getting Keith is a bad move. He’ll be a good mentor for Bouchard and a good stopgap for Broberg (who hopefully could play 2nd pair minutes 2 years from now)


But there needs to be some retention here. Even just 1 million retained would swing this trade into the win column in my book

 

[CupofOil]

We keep waiting for retention but it doesn't look like it's happening folks. Holland caved to a guy who had ZERO leverage.

The Oilers always find new ways to embarrass themselves. I guess this is what happens when you hire a dinosaur GM whose best days are long behind them. I eagerly await the 6x6 Hyman contract. Just when they get out from all the bad contracts, they add more. I just don't get it.

Also, you can't even buy out the contract next offseason if he is indeed done. Yeesh

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

If there's no retention then clean the f***ing house.

 

[doulos]

Wow....this is atrocious without retention. It's pretty gross even with retention. What a disaster.

 

[Brown Cat]

Please DO NOT believe Keith is still good. He is not. Nothing like stats or eye test show he is good. He is done.

 

[Del Preston]

Deal is fine if there is retention. Never having to watch Jones play defense again is a big plus for me.

 

[Bum]

I'm expecting Chiarelli, Lowe and Holland to show up at the press conference dancing a conga line.

 

[Brown Cat]

News just came out that there is no retention.

We were warned by wings fans about Holland. He isn't patient, he is just bad.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Why are we always on the receiving end of these f***ing awful deals... Holland scares the shit out of me and this is just the beginning.

No retention is absolutely wild.

 

[Drivesaitl]

NEED to see retention.

This deal is giving me anal retention..

lmao. We're f***ing doomed. No capspace and no retention is shit, pun intended.

getting all tense.

 

[McDoused]

Happy to have Keith but we better see retention.

 

[Spawn]

Nothing like blowing nearly $6M cap space on a guy who might not be able to play anymore.

I was fine with Keith at 50% retained as a medium risk. Full price is hilarious.

Holland is such a joke of a GM.
