For the last 2 years this team has been decent in the regular season, only to absolutely shit the bed in the playoffs. Hockey changes from regular season to the playoffs, yet the Oilers failed to do so twice now and it killed them both times. If he can bring out the right things from our players when it counts. then this deal is worth it in spades.
I am optimistic Keith has a good couple of years and he lifts up more teammates to do the same. I don't like or hate this deal. Every single deal that is made only gets scored accurately after the fact and that is the only accuracy that counts. Ask me again in roughly 10 months.

Oilers Fans: "No one wants to play for us."
Duncan Keith: "I do."
Oilers Fans: "f*** you."
And of course the dipshits on Twitter are ripping Keith for saying that.

Exactly. Typical Oilers fans don't even let the guy play one shift on the ice and want to chase the players out of town.

Wonder when they’ll shred him for not taking down the entire Hawks org for the sexual assault like some posters are insinuating here?

Hope Keith succeeds. Happy that he's closer to his son.
Holland on the other hand? Bad f***ing trade. Get a legitimate top 6 winger and a goalie.
Enough said.

Better yet, wonder how many would have brought it up if the deal was viewed as a win by the Oilers?
The thing is we all know if Kassian ups his physical intensity in the playoffs that would be great.
The problem is Kassian was checked out for the better part of the season although he did show flashes of waking up.

Agreed. This is why I got 500+ people blocked on here. Everyone has to be a f***ing critic...

now that Keith has stated he's looking forward to being able to see his son in edmonton im guessing the league will schedule the first two months on the road followed by a full 3 minutes under water.

So Barrie is gone for sure now.
Our defense is (likely) going to be
Nurse - Bear
Keith - Larsson
X - Bouchard
Hoping we can get Murray, pair him with Larsson and then run Keith - Bouchard though.

He's going to have buy out both Neal and Koskinen to fill 3 of the vital holes, top 6 LW, $3C and #1 goalie. If they buy both out, they'll be down to $11M in cap space assuming they sign Larsson, Yamamoto and Smith to a combined 8 which might be generous considering it's Holland so that's 11M for a top 6 LW, #3C and #1 goalie. Yikes, and this is assuming that Holland spends right to the cap.
That would also be a shit load of dead cap and then the 5.5m Keith salary to contend with next season when the important extensions are due. Double Yikes
I think we need to lower our expectations of what will be done this offseason. I think we'll see more bargain bin shopping again. Tatar, Mrazek, Derek Ryan? Lets hope for a lot of internal development.

Also, from that PC with Keith, it sounded like the last 5+ years, playing further away from his son took a toll on him as a player, and he missed being with his son at times. He did mention it was a bit depressing when there was long stretches without him. That being said, now that he is much closer and in the same country, what's to say he turns it up to the Old Duncan Keith and plays amazingly well (well at LEAST a 2nd pairing LD), and helps us win a cup this year or next? There's some game left in him. I know it.
I’m fine with people expressing displeasure, but the people going on like this is somehow worse than anything Chiarelli did, tests my patience.
More reasons why I never personally wanted this trade especially with the hawks not even retaining. God awful. McDrai are in their prime, and Holland better not f***ing waste it.
