ChuckNORRIS4Cup Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Keith turns 38 in 4 days , and his numbers have taken a drop the last couple years, definitely declining, but playing with McDavid will help a bit, but Edmonton is about 4 years to late on this one.

grandmaster Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 So basically Jones who appears to be a 6/7th defenceman and a 3rd for an overpaid 4/5th level defenceman. I suppose it is not that bad for the Coilers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCanuck Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Holland's best days are behind him. Picking Zadina over Hughes proved that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDavid apparently has okayed this trade as well... well, there is a lot of game tape showing how well they play(ed) together 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDavid, without the puck, is a horrible player. He will not help Kieth in the D part if the game. Keith is used to guys like Toews, who play as hard without the puck than they do with it. He’s in for a big surprise with the Soiler softies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure if Keith gets on that PP at all his points will go up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 This kind of deal aggravates me a bit. Oilers are such suckers for taking it. Basically, it allowed Chicago to offer that premium deal to Keith back in the day that was considered a couple years too long, and now they don’t have to pay any kind of consequences for it. The Oilers just slurp up Chicago’s sloppy seconds, and give Chicago a pick and player for it. Honestly, what is Edmonton thinking? I’d have a fit if it was the Canucks making a deal like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-P Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 If oilers are all in it does make kind of sense no? Otherwise it makes no sense at all and glad GMJB was never in on it as far as we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zadina was considered a top 3 prospect in that draft. It was miracle that he fell to Detroit at all. They were very high on Hughes, but when a top 3 draft pick falls into your laps, you take it. Obviously hindsight is 20/20, but 28 other GM’s would’ve done the same. (The two exceptions being Montreal and Arizona reaching for centers.) It looked like a MASSIVE steal for Detroit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 That is a surprisingly OK deal. Not a fit for us, but Edmonton needs “something” and they need it fast. Gamble on a guy that has been to the top of the mountain already and could help show the way. Big gamble, but not a ton of options out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I can understand this move, is bringing in a winning pedigree and a highly successful dman throughout his career. They are acquiring his veteran experience to maybe help shape the inexperience on the back end. Because right now their blueline is veerrrry young and for the most part inexperienced. I think there is a lot that can be learned from Keith, like how to be a scum bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
