that Dallas trade is a good joke
also why would you give up a 1st round pick for strome
and keiths contract is up why sign him then trade him

Dallas needs an OFD RHD to replace Klingberg and oilers could use some depth. Stars get a RHD PP QB that can play top 4 mins. Dmen like barrie in the NHL normally go for quite a premium but given oilers cap situation,they wont get what would normally be the price tag for such a player. RHD, that can QB a PP and is a top point-producing dman for a decade are all things NHL gms look for. Since 17-18 he actually has been better than klingberg. More points and not as bad defensively on arguably defensively weaker teams.

giving a first for strome because there will be a bidding war for him and he is about as good of a top 6 winger option that there realistically is for the oilers. probably could get a pick back in the deal but just being cautious when making that trade cause not 100% sure what the extra pieces from both sides are needed to make it work.

Keith still has 1 YL, You basically brooks orpik him. Trade him to a team for them to buy him out and then sign the guy for cheap. League allowed it already before and the rules revolving such a situation have not been changed in the CBA. Kieht wont mind as he will still be getting every penny owed to him and then some.
