I definitely see him playing next year but the year after when “only” 1.5M in cash is on the table for him I could see him calling it quits.
I'd be surprised if he doesn't sign another contract after this one is done.
So give him no pp time and he's fine?At end of day the TOI Keith has to endure at this age is absurd and its not because of "Keith's Ego"
Its reality that our GM failed miserably at building a defense for years that Keith is still far and away the best LHD on team with no other viable alternative yet to emerge

This guy's still playing? Damn. Haven't heard anything about him in ages.
Keith chose long term security rather than gambling on a bigger contract down the line. Can't blame him, but lucky for the Hawks and fans.Is there a player in any sport that you can think of that was as amazing as Duncan Keith and was so criminally underpaid throughout his entire career?
The Leafs aren't calling up Freddie but saying he's cleared to play in the ahl but not cleared to play in the NHL because cap.
Tampa with Kurcherov/Stamkos seem they have been ready to play an NHL game already but won't for the cap.
The league let's you do it. There's no real need to really find his knee or concussion history. Any Dr should say at that point dont play after this conclusion, Shaw should of stopped last year that he even got cleared to come back was a surprise and it felt inevitable that he would be concussed again.
The only cap circumvent contract that hurt the team was because Vancouver traded away Lou and it didn't help Florida any to care to ltir him over him just retiring.
despite his media training, he's very much not the 'happy to help the kids while the team sucks' type of guy.
I agree and don't think Keith offers much in the way of mentorship.
Ya, I'm sure a couple arm chair posters know more about Keith's mentorship than the young players that comment on his mentorship.
