<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vinnylou</b></div><div>You think that's a bit much for Murray?!! When broberg and samurkov are right around the corner?! I think it might be better on a 1 year deal. Give him 1 year. Just like Tatar. I'd like to see that move. But it might cost more than a 5th to move that terrible contract.</div></div>

He would be within his rights to ask for a similar contract to Ceci and we need help on LD to insolate Keith in case he actually is washed up. Banking on Broberg and Samorukov is a very, very dangerous game to be playing considering neither one of them has ever had a successful pro season on North American ice. Once Keith is gone then hopefully Broberg can take his spot on 2LD but I dont expect Samorukov to ever be more than a Lagesson replacement.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Stan_Bowman</b></div><div>You both are assuming we have to trade Keith, it's entirely plausible that we don't trade him if no deals work out. Stop power-tripping over the illusion that you are doing Chicago a favor by trading for Keith, we never wanted to trade him except for his request, and we are happy keeping him. You aren't getting a buy Keith get one Strome free deal here.</div></div>

You dont haaaave to trade him but its in your best interest.

He's said he is done in Chicago, he wants to be closer to his son in western canada, if he's still property of the Blackhawks next season he will retire. That will outright **** your cap situation. You can buy him out to avoid that but theres still no cap relief to doing so. So you can trade him to western Canada or you can suffer. He's also a legend of your franchise and your team is god damn terrible right now so there is no harm in doing him a favour and honoring his wishes and getting some positive press. Especially considering the hawks are an organization that protect and promote sexual predators and thats all coming to light so maybe some positive headlines will help.

End of story he wants to play for us, we dont need him, Chicago needs to get rid of him or take a pounding from the cap recapture penalty. I'm not the GM but if I were taking Keith's whole contract I'd need Strome to save your asses.
