Thread: not according to Garfield
By the sounds of it, Edmonton had pulled their main asset out of a potential deal for Keith so I don't see Jones being moved for him.

Also, how is Keith worth anything more than a mid round pick, maybe a 3rd with 50% retention? He's a declining 38 year old defenceman that's best suited for at best a 3rd pair role. He's been declining for 5 straight seasons and his cap hit is highly overpaid for what he's worth/does. Not to mention that there's one team that can trade for him because of where he wants to go (Vancouver wasn't called about him, Seattle didn't have interest, and Calgary is already well suited at left handed defence), so who is there to compete with Edmonton to drive the price up? Nobody. On top of that, Edmonton doesn't really <em>NEED</em> Keith in the first place, so don't give up any good assets for him. As much as Koskinen struggled last season, I'd say he still can give you at least 30 games of NHL calibre goaltending which is more valuable, so keep him too especially when Edmonton is thin on goalies.

Don't help Chicago out, especially when you don't have to.
