I could see Keith being useful to many teams, it just depends on the realistic asking price ?

Duncan Keith for Leon D and M. Talbot! Get it done Chiarelli! Hit a home run!

I needed a good laugh before work.

Why the (frank) would the Penguins move Kessel who’s locked in at a great cap hit for multiple years for a rental in Stone who’s going to walk after this year? I like stone and all but that’s just god damn retarded asset management.

@Boyd...I guess I could see a scenario if someone's overpaying for Kessel, but that's the only way.

Keith to Edmonton. It's Chaigoof...He will be targeting Hainsey or another washed up ready to retire Dman. Hahaha

I don’t even know what kind of overpayment it would be. I don’t think the Pens come out on top on most realistic trade scenarios with Kessel.

The cap hit at that age is a factor for most teams that are contenders too. There's going to be retention of some kind. I doubt Chicago takes back any junk contract in a deal.. I didn't realize how old Keith is now, almost as old as me. Is he still a top 4 on a good team?

Yes. He's top 4 for probably the next ~3 years. His cap hit is actually pretty reasonable. 5.5 million for a top 4 is very nice. His age is the problem. I bet Chicago will retain ~1-1.5 million and he'll get traded to a contender for a 1st + top prospect ...

Nurse and a 1st would be fair and both teams get what they need

Yeah he is depending on the team, he’d be a better fit for a cash strapped, under cap team like the Avalanche:

Keith Cap hit $5,538,462

Keith salary:

2019/20 $3,500,000

2020/21 $2,650,000

2021/22 $2,100,000

2022/23 $1,500,000

Preds are also in on Carter

By both, you mean Chicago and the Blackhawks?

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣.

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?

DK has had only 1 bad season which was last year. Ugly -29. Only a -2 this year on a bad team. 18 pts is ok in 44 games. I’d offer Sekera once he’s healthy, Phil Kemp and 2 nd round pick 2018.
