What a move by Chicago. Amazing deal for them. Lose that cap hit, gain a pick and get younger with a cap-friendly D coming back with NO salary retained. Damn solid move by them and all 'Hawk fans should be very pleased with what occured.
The Oilers...woof. I think Keith is still serviceable. But to lose a young asset, a draft pick AND to take on that cap hit for 2 more years for an older declining player...wow. I honestly don't think Keith will be an entire train wreck on the ice. But these days the cap hit and assets being moved in either direction play in a big part in the whole player's "package". And Oilers woofed that up very bad indeed.
