Rumor: Blackhawks working on Keith trade

[Kaners Bald Spot]

That's fine for no retention or taking cap back. I'd imagine the Hawks are going to trade for Seth Jones and I'm scared about the package they're going to send to Columbus.

Me too…. This is going to end up ugly.


This all sucks.

If that trade is no retention, it's an easy win for Bowman. If it's 50% retention, a big meh.

 

[Chuck Testa]

Hmmm... not sure what to think of the trade.

No retention is good, right?

 

[Gurglesons]

As a Penguins fan the deal is fair, but it has to suck to see a legend move to another team.

I get the extra circumstances of this one regarding Keith's son though.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

It is what it is. Keith wanted to go home, so there wasn’t a whole lot of leverage there.

It hurts a lot less knowing it’s due to family and not a bad reason he is leaving. When you’re divorced can barely see your kids it has to hurt to be constantly missing out on them growing up.

if its no retention bowman did good under the circumstances. If there is retention so be it. they are definitely gunna make a push for Seth now.

Yeah, that plus getting an actual return at his age is probably ultimately a win.

The reason behind this makes it a lot easier to understand.

Still it breaks my heart. The memories.

#1D in history of Chicago Blackhawks.

 

[RayP]

It’s a fair deal. We did Keith a solid and didn’t have to pay a price. The fact we got anything back is just gravy.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Sounds like it's done, no retention.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

If salary is retained beyond 500k this sucks

If no salary is retained this blows but at least they did Keith a solid and we can move on

I am not a fan of Jones though

 

[ColbyChaos]

Allegedly Keith for Jones and a 3rd per Shannon

[Ace Card Bedard]

Absolute legend.

Hopefully Jones can be a decent #6 or #7 defenseman and maybe we get lucky on that 3rd.

Keith with no retention for a 3rd by itself is solid. Jones is a meh prospect and just a throw in imo.

Keith in his prime was a pleasure to watch. His performance in the 2015 playoffs is one of the best stretches of defensive dominance I've ever seen. It became frustrating when he began firing 95% of the pointshots he was taking in to the opposing team's shinpads but when it came to his compete level there are few that compete(d) as hard as Duncs did.

I think he'll be good with Edmonton if they don't plan on trotting him out there for 25 minutes a game like the Hawks were doing at the end of his tenure but only time will tell. You might see him racking up secondary assists just from giving the puck to McDavid and/or Draisaityl and watching them go to work.

But f*** does it ever suck to see him go.

Another legend from years past gone.

Oilers don't have a 2021 3rd round pick, so it must be 2022 or 2023.

 

[RayP]

It makes me happy to think of how pissed Edmonton fans will be over this since they thought it would require us absorbing a bad contract to move Keith. Eat shit Edmonton.

Not liking the return if I'm the Blackhawks. Would have preferred to send him to Seattle via expansion.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

HAHAHAHAHA SUCK IT OILERS.

Now piss the hell off of our boards and don’t come back!

 

[ChiHawk21]

Not liking the return. Would have preferred to send him to Seattle via expansion.

lol

You would rather get nothing for him?
