Not interested. We don’t need his contract till he’s 40 unless your taking Sekera/Lucic plus futures.

Since Lucic is likely a non starter and Sekera is due back soon with a shorter contract term I doubt there’s a deal to be made here

Chia would give up RNH

The real question is he more valuable than 3 times SC champion Seabrook?

Cups wash out and Keith has more hardware, so yes.

In what world do the Hawks move Keith for that trash...

You don’t! Keep him. In case you’re unaware Edmonton has no cap space. You’d have to take one of them regardless for us to fit Keith’s contract in.

Don’t want either, great. Lock it up

Hawks could retain and take back roster players. So, you’re wrong.

I think most teams wouldn’t be interested in investing too much into a Keith purchase at this point. I think teams would look into it and sniff around for a possible bargain, but I don’t think anyone is gonna too much.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Chia would give up RNH

That’ll do...

Do Chicago understand that it's a 5,5M cap hit for 5 more years ?
the 38-40 years will be terrible for the Cap hit on Edmonton... makes no sense, unless you take at least 2M in cap hit. No team can afford a 5,5M cap hit for 2 years while he is 38 years old until 40 and playing a #6 role...

Oh I’m sure Hawks really want serious retention on a 5 year contract just to grab something off the Oilers!!! Great idea. Give your head a shake.

We have our core and a collection of bad contracts. Edmonton is a horrible option

 

[DingDongCharlie]

That’ll do...

He was being sarcastic. Dear God you really think a club with 3 top 6 forwards moves a young near ppg center for a 35 year old defenceman?

 

[CornKicker]

kris russell and cam talbot.

take it or leave it

 

[TGWL]

That’ll do...

No, it wouldn't. Oilers wouldn't be doing that. You don't seem to get it, Oilers aren't trading a good roster player, such as RNH, because all you do is open up another hole. Now you have the cap dumps already on the team, Keith's contract added to the club, and have to call up lesser skilled players. So you upgrade on D and get worse down the middle.

I bet they don’t. Www.capfriendly.com is banned for everyone in Chicago including the management of the Blackhawks.

I’m sure it would from your POV, but never in a million years would Chia be allowed to do that. RNH is not for sale.

For it to make any sense like Dingdong said Sekera/Lucic would have to be part of the package going back, or something like Spooner+Benning+picks/prospects.

Better be good picks and prospects. Hawks would want Nurse, Pool or Yama +

Yikes. I could MAYBE see Puljujarvi + Lucic but that’s pretty it

I’m sure you would, but you wouldn’t get. Keith was great, once, but Edmonton shouldn’t be giving up prime assets for a 35 year old defenceman with 5 years left at 5.5. Nurse alone is an outlandish ask. He’s better than Keith is today and 12 (!) years younger.

Only way I’d consider giving up Yamamoto is if you’re taking Lucic back. Puljujarvi also a no go.

 

[KlefDown]

At this point I wouldn't give up anything significant for him tbh
just doesn't make sense

 

[thadd]

Chia would give up RNH

Heck, if he didn't know everyone was watching his every move with a great deal of pessimism, he''d give up McDavid.

 

[BudBundy]

Keith has had a long and distinguished career but with his age and contract, isnt he basically carrying negative trade value at this point?

I'd say negative or mid round pick max, but what do i know, wouldn't surprise me if some GM ponied up more.

Chia won't do it unless Lucic/Sekera/Russell went the other way. Whether you like it or not. We are at the cap and we cannot afford to take 5.5M contracts at this point.
