Hahah, is the slightly less than $5 mil in cap relief that you just got not enough? This was a "Free up money" move, not a "Restock the farm" move. Stan's probably partying in the streets right now.

I think that is the view from Nashville but from LA it was here us a guy we can add. Which really explains most offseason moves. Rarely is there any big hockey trades… well not since Chiarelli thought he made one with hall lmao.

But it gives them a good piece to flip. Whether it be jones or a different prospect. Bowman bent Holland over a barrel.

[Ben Pope] I'm also told there are some minor players/contracts involved in the trade.

True. And honestly, if that was the ask for him, I'd probably have made the deal too. I do think there'll be some interesting trades this summer with the flat cap. Hard to see Seattle not making a big move or two at the expansion draft. Side note: If Seattle doesn't walk away with at least the pick/prospect haul that Vegas got, Francis should be ashamed of himself. Covid teed this up for them, and they need to take advantage.

Where are all the Edmonton boys on here that said the Oilers would send salary back or that the Hawks would retain?

I wasn't sayin it's a bad idea to move Keith, just simply preferred to move him for some EDM forward, even if should be Cooper Marody No need for Jones, so my point of view

Bowman bent Holland over a barrel

I agree, great market for Seattle. They should look to get a bulk package of picks for 22.

Pending trade call, sounds like #Hawks Duncan Keith will indeed be heading to #Oilers in exchange for D Caleb Jones and a mid-round pick (3rd or 4th round).

Final details still being ironed out.
@DFOHockey

Seriously...who was the wise guy that thinks Edmonton won this trade???
