Should the Flames give up Tkachuk , Jankowski and 2019 1st for Keith??
of course not on all accounts ... realism comes into focus when asking what anyone would give up for a 34 year old d-man (not named Lidstrom).
Scott Niedermayer last season was when he was 36. He only stayed on to play on the Olympic team ..
Gio and Keith likely have 2 years left.

Man did you miss the point.
I posted a trade that wouldn't happen as an example of a "getting your mind blown" offer from another team that may not happen if you head into the market with too narrow of a focus.
Thanks for digging in though, huge help.
Keith hit a wall this year, Giordano didn't. I think Giordano has another elite year, two more above average years, and an average year to roll out his contract.
That's value.
