What's the bet? I'm down.

Although I do feel sorry for you. We're at least expecting the suck from Keith...you're the one he's really going to disappoint.

Our 2nd and 3rd next year being tied up with conditions really messes with our ability to get a rental player next deadline. Another silver lining of this trade.

Hehe, yeah, that's it. We'll have to get over the "I've been there, I once traded for Chelios and we didn't win" threshold to get a real rental again. Team better be looking freakin amazing at the deadline or it'll just be another Kulikov.

1st for Ryan Getzlaf at the deadline ... you know your spine just tingled at the thought of it.

Does anyone actually believe that we will achieve the 3 rounds of post season play to unlock the 2nd round pick? It is safe.

Actual silver lining:

PuckPedia @PuckPedia

If Keith were to retire after the 21-22 season:
-#BlackHawks would have a $5.5M cap hit in 22-23 & a $2M cap hit 23-24
-#LetsGoOilers would lose his $5.5M actual cap hit in 22-23 & instead have a $3.4M negative cap hit (cap savings), for a swing of $8.9M

Keith retiring after this season would screw the Hawks pretty bad, and give us a cap benefit.

I wonder if shares in EIG could influence Keith to a early retirement?

Maybe Holland is playing 4D chess here. A year of Keith to teach everyone winning, then massive cap savings next summer. And they screw the Hawks.

I mean, that would be great, but there's no chance of that happening. I think it was Spector (possibly Shannon) who was already lining up the extension at the end of this contract, talking about how by hiring a new agent Keith was signalling his intention to sign another deal after this one expires.

I don't have much more to add that hasn't already been said, other than the fact that I feel like Tippet is also to blame for this, given his penchant for playing veterans over young defencemen and keeping those young defencemen on incredibly short leashes. I don't know how a guy like Jones was supposed to establish himself as an Oiler when every mistake is met with a 6-10 game benching while Kris Russell is allowed to starfish himself around the ice endlessly.

The Oilers making a deal involving a team dumping salary and with that player holding his former team hostage with his NMC, and the Oilers somehow giving up more and no salary retained is the most Oilers thing ever.

This team. Gifted any team's dream of having 2 of the best centers on the planet (and one who could be the best player my kids ever see), and they continue to just shoot themselves in the face.

The Oilers without McDavid on the ice are terrible, and if next year is anything like last year, Nurse will be glued to McDavid. Meaning Keith will play most of his minutes without McDavid and nothing indicates he's going to move the needle on making this team better without McDavid.

Oilers Goal Differential
17/18: 234 GF / 263 GA (-29)
18/19: 232 GF / 274 GA (-42)
19/20 (82 game pace): 257 GF / 254 GA (+3) in 64 games
2021 (82 game pace):269 GF / 235 GA (+34) after 38 games

I'll hold judgement on how terrible we are without McDavid until we see the Hyman-Nuge-Yamamoto line in action.

I see Teammate Avry commenting on the deal for the Hockey News. Always knew he wanted to be in sports media. Didn't realize he made it. Congrats buddy.

If he wanted to be here and nowhere else, and this is the best you could get from Bowman, you say thanks but no thanks. Hawks would be forced to either protect Keith in the expansion draft or buy him out.

If he’s bought out, you sign him for $1.5m after the expansion draft. Or if he’s protected, and they still want to trade him, then you stick to forcing them to retain half or take back James Neal or Koskinen. And you certainly don’t send them a pick. You get them to send you a pick.

It’s not like we were going to miss out on anything here. There was no rush. This was not a need. Every single card was in Holland’s hands. And he somehow still managed to get bluffed off the pot.

Why did he feel the need to do the Hawks a favour? Or Keith? His commitment should be to the Oilers. Not to the Blackhawks or any other team.

What an epic failure of a GM.

Appreciate it, Net!

Also talked about the deal for Yahoo Sports Canada! Let's just say as you can see in the first minute, we got pretty animated on it lol

I am not worried about losing Jones as I don't see him as any more than a 3rd pairing at best dman. Maybe not even full time. I definitely thought some retained salary should happen. I hope it works out but I am not too thrilled at the moment.

What is kind of sad in the Keith trade for me is in my opinion, it all but signifies to me that the Klefbom must done with the NHL. Take the source for what it's worth but Gregor said yesterday he has been told Klefbom can't even lift his arm above his head yet. If that is the case, that isn't good.

Barrie or Larsson?[ 24 vote(s) ]

1. Larsson 12 / 50%
2. Barrie 12 / 50%

So what if the option were Larsson or Barrie on RD for similar contracts.. who would you take?

And he only says Chicago retaining 50% would have costed more. Hmmm, how about 750k like Holland retained for Lucic? Bowman has retained small amounts of salary in many deals. He retained 750k of Olli Maatta's deal moving him to the Kings. Retained 1M of Saad's deal. Retained 1.125M of Janmark.

But Holland tried to reduce DNB's question about retention to either Chicago retains nothing, or we pay the cost for them to retain 50%.

I'm surprised he didn't retain part of Jones' salary.

Not to mention there are other creative solutions. You could wash the deal through a third party in order to have another team pay some of the cap hit. It would likely be easier with Keith than with most for a Floor team, because the actual dollars would be low. That third would have been better used to do that. If you could get even 25% retained by Chicago, then wash it through, say, Arizona, and have them take 50% then you're looking at 37.5% of his cap hit, or just under $2.1MM. It's still too much, but at least it would be better.

Never in a million years would Holland consider any of that. Which is of course a great example of the problem here.

I am having trouble wrapping my head around the fact that Holland seems to allude to some sort of fore gone conclusion that we had to make a deal. Was he that high on a bankrupt asset that he would do anything to get it? Were the Oilers not in the position of power or can players now somehow demand where they will be traded to like we had no other choice? I’m bewildered. It’s a big cap hot on a once great player that is now long past his prime and significantly declined in recent years. Why wouldn’t you ask for retailed salary when you hold the cards. If Chicago says no then big whoop they keep his salty and his brutal play. Case closed. Truly a stupid move. I hope Connor and Leon demand a to be traded and all Holland gets is 90% retained salary from both their contracts and two 5th rounders. It’s all the Oilers deserve with this bunch of incompetent morons running the show.

Just wait until we lose Benson to expansion to avoid exposing Josh Archibald or Zack Kassian, sign Mike Smith to a two-year deal, and break the bank outbidding all comers on Zach Hyman, all while trying to cement the roster before then end of the first week of free agency. Those wines aren't going to drink themselves out at the lake, after all!

And some people do not like your outward pestilence towards the Oilers management group, but I for one appreciate it. You give a worst case scenario. When the Oilers don’t go full category 5, I walk away like I won something. My head held high.

*We signed Mike Smith to a 2 year year, but at least the 2nd year is able to be buried.
*We only lost Marody. Thankfully we still have Benson.
*Hyman will be good for half his contract and at least we avoided giving Stastny a 4 year deal at the same value.
*Larsson is banged up anyway. Good riddance. I’m sure Samorukov can play his off side.

You're always going off the deep end, how many years experience being an NHL GM you got there buddy?

This forum has turned into a pessimistic cesspool of bitching and whining about the same topics consistently.

I always love the fans who say “you think you know better than a NHL GM?” If you’ve been a Oilers fan over the last 15 years, you should be able to see that many, many of the posters here would do better than some of the stiffs we’ve had in that chair.

While I would prefer the Oilers didn’t sign someone like me who doesn’t have ANY hockey management experience, I still think I could have done better than Chiarelli and Holland in the McDavid’s time in the league. That’s not even cockiness, because the bar is so damn low.

I wish someone would tell McDavid this. But, McDavid seems like to just go along being hopeful things will work out. I'm sure he's genuinely excited to have Keith on his team, and hopes it'll all work out. Same with Keith. Sure his confidence has him completely sure today he's going to be a dominant 2nd pair D for us.

What actually happens? That was Holland's job to predict.

I'd think that was true, but McDavid went against the Oilers and their medical advice to fix his knee because he wasn't simply willing to go along with being hopeful. If he, his agent, and the people in this trust haven't taken a sober look at Oilers management... they will.

That being said, a McDavid trade would open up A LOT of Cap Space.

Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.

McDavid was probably a fan of the Lucic move too at the time. I don't trust players to run teams in their 40s and 50s, so I sure as heck wouldn't be trusting them to run them in their 20s.

Besides, what can those guys do? Come out and pan the deal? They just can't. That guy is their new teammate. They have to say the right things and make the guy feel welcome.

For what it's worth, I don't hold this against Duncan Keith at all. I wish the guy well, and I hope he has a major bounceback here. It's just not a good bet, and the Oilers pushed in a ton of chips on a bet that is a long-shot but also pays only mediocre return in the best case scenario.

I actually love the conditional pick part from Chicago. That so feels like the icing on the cake. "You know, Kenny, we think this is really giving you the missing ingredient to go from first round sweep to Stanley Cup contender. We're basically gifting you the Stanley Cup, so really, you should upgrade that pick for when Duncan leads you to the promised land." It hearkens back to the extra pick in the Pronger deal, and Lowe telling Burke that he's basically giving him a Cup with that trade.

Maybe the Oilers truly feel that the 'Hawks WERE doing us a solid here...SIGH.

It's not even really about how Keith performs. He could have a decent season here and fit in on a limited role.

It's still a bad deal given that Chicago had to move him, and quickly, and Edmonton held all the cards. Holland talking about the price being significantly higher if they were going to get Chicago to retain salary is asinine. Chicago had zero other options. Their choices were turf the deal and protect Keith, or accept whatever the Oilers were offering. The problem here is that Holland heard that Keith was available, decided he wanted him and was willing to pay basically any price to get him.
