I can see Keith retiring because even though his cap hit is $5.5 his next year's pay check is only $1.5 million.

Smith I doubt retires, he'll need that $2.5 million pay check for his post hockey career.

As Keith will probably be handed an office job by the Hawks very quickly. Smith will probably have to wait a few years to get an office job.

So what happens next year? Trade a top 6 guy to get under 82.5?
