Thread: Off-Season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigE</b></div><div>It really wouldn't be for 2 years if it's a trade deadline deal next year, which is what I'm talking about....and of course, the Hawks would need to cover up to 1/2 of the Cap hit...which shouldn't be a big deal. The point I'm trying to make is he is likely to be traded but not this offseason....at the tradeline next year, Keith would only count minimally the remainder of the year and only about 2.75 Million the following year (50% salary retained). You aren't getting that quality a defenceman in free agency at that price, unless Keith completely regresses, which is possible. I think Keith is minimally worth a 2nd rounder and probably more next year if he is still eating up 23 minutes a game of quality defense...I agree the trade proposed here is unlikely.</div></div>

Are you saying next season is his final year? Meaning we would have him for 0.3 seasons or is there an additional year making it 1.3 seasons. To make this clear as it seems you’re not understanding what I’m saying, the 1 in the 1.3 is the major issue. We have 6+ D men and Keith would be our healthy scratch going into playoffs as a rental.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigE</b></div><div>I'd normally agree with you, but Keith is still a very serviceable, minute-eating defenceman. After this year, there are only 2 years left and that contract isn't bad at all...Next year, he's the 38th highest-paid defenceman in the league (likely to be in the 40's after free agency). Also, his actual salary for the next 2 years is really low (3.6 million combined for the 2 years). I don't believe he gets traded in the off-season, because frankly, who's going to eat up his minutes? Next year at the deadline is a very real possibility, and if the Hawks eat 1/2 of his cap the return for him could be substantial from a contending team.</div></div>

Ya, if retained 50% to a contender in need of a D man, sure. NYR isn’t the right destination. TOR with double retention might be the fit
