RWJC Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Just now, knucklehead91 said: 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 His numbers are on decline. What’s worse is his impact on his D partner. If what you’re saying is the case, then EDM just wore down the contract expectations of a few upcoming FAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One pick, that is way too early to declare an outcome on, is not enough to throw around 'over the hill' comments on a great G.M. imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdeath Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I was unironically surprised to learn he was still playing when all the Duncan Keith rumors started up in the last little while. Nice deal for Chicago though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBossy Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Imagine CDC if Benning did this - giving up a good young prospect for a 37 yr old D man - YIKES 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drofssalg Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 As an Edmonton season ticket holder, I am most baffled by this move. It seems like it is about mentoring - Broberg, Bouchard, Lagesson, Bear. Perhaps Keith gets to play with Bouchard? I suspect it has a lot to do with Klefbom being out long term as well so the cap issue is minor. I just figure there would have been better deals to make than that - especially with no cap retention. Certainly does not help the Oilers from a cap perspective but I suspect that Neal and Koskinen are on buyouts soon. Time will tell what the other moves will be to sort this out. But like I said, baffling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBossy Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Wonder if Holland's working another deal to grab Seabrook too - maybe a 4th and Bear for Brent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 adding a washed up winner to a group of up and coming losers. makes more sense than bringing in patrick marleau or joe thornton as veteran leadership to teach your youth how to win, but not by much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith has regressed and Bouchard is unlikely to ever be able to play well enough in his own zone to be a legit NHLer. Would love to see our guys expose that pairing.

TheRick Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Loui Eriksson was a former 30 goal scorer. Maybe McJesus can bring back his scoring touch? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much appreciated! remember the Daniel Keith strikes me as a player, who when his skills erode, becomes more Raffiesque he probably won't help Edmonton win as much as he will injure all your favorite Canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
