The ask feels unrealistic for a D that turns 38 this month and has a 5.5M cap hit. He is owed 3.6M in salary. If Edmonton is interested they might be willing to offer him a deal that could cover part of that loss. Chicago would be hit with the recapture penalty of 3.74M for 2 seasons.

JM_ Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 If Seattle ends up with Keith, and they make him the first Kraken captain, would you instantly hate Seattle? would that create too nasty of a rivalry? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drai because they have no cap room to balance their lineup. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think do, but I'm also fully expecting to hate Seattle regardless They'll be our Calgary vs Edmonton because of the proximity, but it'll be fun I think Probably painful, knowing how things go for us, but fun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can’t see Vegas-like success replicated considering how many guys went on to take major (yet late in career) huge steps forward upon landing with the Knights. Add in GMs having that situation to learn from… I foresee a more traditional expansion team rocky start for the Kraken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love us to wreck em, but I dunno I agree though, I don't see them being a Vegas type force right out the gate I figure they'll grab what picks and players they can, but that they'll be playing the long game for a while 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfgang Durst Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 That's obivously catch 22: - the blackhawks try to clear some cap in order to be able to sign either Seth Jones or Dougie Hamilton - the Oilers can't take on Keith $ 5.5 million cap hit because they have to re-sign Larsson and Barrie - the solution: Hawks have to retain salary to make this deal happen. Luke Fox of Sportsnet: Duncan Keith carries a $5.5 million salary cap hit for two more years but only salaries of $2.1 million and $1.5 million. The Seattle Kraken could benefit from Keith’s experience, but so could the Edmonton Oilers. Could the Oilers convince the Chicago Blackhawks to retain some salary and/or take the contract of goaltender Mikko Koskinen ($4.5 million)? Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic: There is a mutual interest between the Edmonton Oilers and Blackhawks Duncan Keith. A source said that it has to be for ‘the right price and under the right circumstances’ for the Oilers. The soon-to-be 38-year old would likely be slotted on their second pairing. A source said the Oilers want the Blackhawks to retain salary or take a bad contract. James Neal has two years left at $5.75 million is an option (he’s also a buyout option). Zack Kassian has three years left on his deal at $3.2 million per and could be a candidate. The Blackhawks could be looking for a veteran goaltender but it’s unlikely they’d want Mikko Koskinen. If the Blackhawks retain salary, the Oilers would likely then send a young player. Defenseman Caleb Jones carries an $850,000 cap hit and wouldn’t be enough to even out the money. The Oilers can’t take on all of Keith’s cap hit (without moving salary) as it would impede their ability to re-sign Adam Larsson or Tyson Barrie, and they’ll need to give Darnell Nurse a raise from his $5.6 million the following year. Oilers GM Ken Holland is expected to meet with defenseman Oscar Klefbom and his agent this week. He had surgery back in March and his status remains in question. It may take until the fall till they have a better understanding of his status. They could LTIR his $4.167 million salary if he can’t go. The Oilers would prefer to trade for Keith after the expansion draft. If they trade for him before, they would have wait to re-sign Larsson or Tyson Barrie. Keith would have to be protected for the expansion draft as he has a no-movement clause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) Duncan Keith is washed up and overpaid. Any GM wanting this guy is a fool. Seattle doesn’t need his “experience” and the Oilers should focus on their own pending UFA defencemen rather than Keith.

He’s actually not bad in a limited bottom pairing role now and experience is always valuable. Chicago expecting not to take money back for him is unreasonable though.
