Lol what. Pacific Northwest? Is Daniel Sedin about to trade for Keith then bench him for eternity to get the last laugh?

 

[NYI365]

Ah just beat my thread out lol. Mods can move or delete mine

 

[Static]

Seattle? Moving money for Jones/Hamilton...

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

He's turning 38. The value can't be that high , Keith probably just want to finish his career in a quiet place I guESS.

Maybe Edmonton to temporarily replace Klefbom and be a stopgap for 1-2 years while Broberg prepares for top 4 minutes?

I question if it’s a smart move though considering the mileage Keith has on him, and another LHD like Murray could be had for a smaller cap hit and not cost any assets

Probably only makes sense if Edmonton is sending back salary

 

[Sweetpotato]

Wouldn't mind him in Edmonton if Klefbom isn't coming back.

 

[Forge]

Congrats, Vancouver!

 

[Phion Keneuf]

It’ll be the Jets

 

[BananaSquad]

Wow. Who’s taking that contract?

 

[ChiHawk21]

he can still play. im not sure he will get a lot back but somebody will get some decent hockey out of him.

 

[ChiHawk21]

Wow. Who’s taking that contract?

2 years 5 million and hawks can hold on to some....not to bad.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Seems pretty unlikely they are connected, more like he is a 38 year old defenseman looking to go closer to home to be able to spend more time with his son (Home is where the heart is for NHL player from Penticton - Penticton Western News) who is slightly more movable now that he only has 2 years left on his deal and they are exploring if a mutually agreed destination is available.

Yeah I agree. This kind of move seems fairly common for players who aren’t far from retirement.

I doubt they’re connected

At 50% Keith is probably pretty valuable to a team that’s close to competitive and needs a quality vet without breaking the bank. I imagine Chicago would retain to create the best return, considering it’s only 2 years.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Wow. Who’s taking that contract?

Hawks would likely retain a bit.

 

[DieSendungmitderMaus]

Dude's pretty much done. Wouldn't surprise me if Edmonton traded for him, he didn't improve in any way and people ended up blaming McDavid/Draisaitl because the team still fails after they traded for a "proven winner".

Canucks fans should be happy that they're basically capped out.

 

[Satoru Gojo]

Betting on Uncle Jim

 

[gstommylee]

Well he did say PNW so that doesn't necessary mean Vancouver.

 

[Diamonddog01]

Very little in actual salary (2 & 1.5) over the next 2 years but a high cap hit. Guessing Seattle.

 

[kmwtrucks]

his cap hit is 5.5 but his real dollars are 2.1 this year and 1.5 next so it would save a team a ton of money in real cash so that is the real value of his deal. still a very good 4-5 just does not need to play 23 per night like he did in CHI. also at times he seemed not as engaged, but when he was he was good. he went thru a divorce and his son is up in that area now.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Keith is divorced and his ex and son live in BC.

 

[Nucks for the Cup]

Keith 50% for Eriksson+Juolevi
