The only way that gets done is if Chia is the G....oh wait, he is the GM

Seriously though. Not happening.

What kind of price tag would be on Duncan Keith?
- bruinzfan77

I would want..
2019 1st
2019 3rd
2020 2nd (becomes a 1st if they win a Cup this year or next year)
Top prospect/player

With the Hawks retaining ~1-1.5 million depending on what player comes back.

If they did the trade with the leafs, I'd want Kap as the player and we'd retain 1.5 million.

Jesus, can this Keith guy make wine out of water? Thats ridiculous. Also he has a NMC and would have to be protected in the expansion draft, which sinks his value even more.

Riiiiiiight. For a 35 year old D man, you’re smoking crack. Better put down the pipe.

EK Your are a genius!! The Rangers are going to trade a 26yo, soon to be 27 and then sign a 29yo, he will be by July 1st. That makes so much sense for a rebuild!!

Hey Ek,

In your next piece are you going to discuss how disappointed you are in Price skipping the All Star Game?

Seems only fair since you crapped all over Ovi for doing the same thing.

Now, if there was a way to swing Keith for JJ? I'd absolutely want Keith's terrible contract over Johnson's and CHI gets the cap savings.

And hey, picking up Jack Johnson could really help lock in the Hawks' chances of landing Hughes.

You're welcome.

Well, I guess it's more a matter of how they choose to spend their money. I personally don't think the Rangers should keep Hayes regardless; he's a good player who's going to get overpaid as most Centers like him do.

He's having a career year, but will he revert back to his old numbers? My guess is he's looking for a $6M to $7M contract and for you guys I think that's bad idea. It will hamper a true rebuild IMO.

I don't think you should go after either player. Trade Hayes for futures and DON'T sign Panarin. Keep the space open, go after Hughes and if you don't get him, you have that money to spend.

You would be lucky to get one 1st... I like him, but the length of his contract diminish his value

Ek any Devils rumors? Feels like I haven't seen much from them this season on your site.

That’s a bit rich. Edmonton should offer a 1st round pick 2019
Sekera has to go for cap reasons
Phil Kemp - he had a great WJC
Caleb Jones

That should do it. It’s a bit rich as well but gotta pay the Hawks to take Sekera.

Holy good god no!

A top prospect (lets pretend this top prospect is a former 1st round pick)...
You're asking for two 1st round picks, a 2nd round pick, and 3rd round pick???!
and this could potentially become a trade that costs THREE 1st round picks and a 3rd??

Yeah man good luck with that one.
How's outer space?

At least this is a better response then you calling people who disagree with you "retard" ..

I agree, but Chicago would retain 1.5 million. Making his contract cost 4 million AAV. I expect him to play top 4 minutes for the next 3 years. So I think that's a pretty reasonable cap hit for his position.

His entire contract length is 5 years left and his actually salary is much less. I believe his final two years, he gets paid 3 million and then 1.5 million respectively (making him more desirable).

To a team like Toronto, a 1st will basically be ~#30 in the draft. A lower end prospect that will take some time to develop. Toronto is in "win" now mode, so this is less useful for them.

The third 1st round pick is if the team wins the cup. I bet any franchise would trade a 1st round pick for a stanley cup. Chicago did back in 2015. They also traded 2 2nds for 1 .

The price is high for a top, veteran defender. Especially for a team that's in win now mode. This trade doesn't happen with a team like the Islanders. Toronto, EDM, Calgary however...
