Will cost at least a second to get Keith. He's still a top four D man and on a very friendly deal in terms of real cash which means a lot in the current COVID environment

The Hawks were a much better team with Keith on the ice, that's why they got outscored, outshot and out chanced when he was on the ice!

To be fair...all of that happened when he was off the ice too...just at a greater rate when off the ice. That's what happens when you miss the playoffs. So technically both of these can be true. He's still a solid middle pair guy. Just don't play him 23:25 a game.

Sure but every regular partner of Keith had better numbers without Keith than with Keith including Mitchell, Boqvist and Murphy (with the exception of Kalynuk-Keith who only played 85 mins together though). He definitely needs to play less but on a good team, he should be on the 3rd pair. Maybe he can move up sometimes on the 2nd pair assuming you have an established 2nd pair D who can carry him.

Stan is that you?

He could waive his NMC and go to Seattle.
