Leon I don't think is that soft he's got some heaviness to his game. But this trade to me is not smart at all. Really makes me think Holland gots to goes out of the league.

Gollumpus Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 So, it's interesting reading this article on the NHL site, where McDavid is suggesting that the Oilers "can compete for the title", and uses Montreal's results in this year's regular season and playoffs as evidence. This seems to me to be a very Toronto attitude, where the results of the regular season are supposed to transfer to the playoffs. https://www.nhl.com/news/connor-mcdavid-says-edmonton-close-to-contending-after-montreals-run-to-final/c-325628982?tid=277548856 regards, G.

Curmudgeon Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Keith will help the Oilers. Even at his age he still plays 23-25 minutes a night. His veteran leadership might inspire the team to forget they don't have goaltending. And I am giddy that he is not coming to Vancouver. Now the team can use that money to build for the future instead of rewarding the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kloubek Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I really don't understand how or why the pick had to be given up. A man for man trade would STILL have been a win for Chicago. Keith does make the Oilers better. But not even remotely at the level his salary would suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nave Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I guess Holland is banking on Keith having a career renaissance playing with McDavid. I see this going very badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the team can use that money to build for the future instead of rewarding the past. That’s the whole point though. He can’t continue to log those many minutes. He might be serviceable for veteran leadership and room presence, and maybe help out special teams, but he’s now a 5/6/7th dman who should be used in rotation and minutes keep to maybe 15-16 or so a game, tops. We’ll see how the season unfolds and who EDM ends up with for their D corps, but to be counting on Keith as a top 4 at this stage might be asking a lot. Price paid for the player and his intangibles is still too high. There must be something else in the works after the ED that benefits the Coilers. You don’t pay that much just for experience and leadership. Look at Big Joe, Marleau, Spazza, Perry contracts for proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
