Thread: Trading Keith FLA VAN
I don't really want to trade Keith. There's a lot of unpack when trading Keith. A.) He still plays 23+ minutes a game of being a #1Dman. B.) He hasn't slown down at all...he's been the most physically fit Blackhawks in training camp just about every single year he's been a Blackhawks. Sure he doesn't play 25+ min a game, but that's just Q riding Keith. If Keith goes to Florida...he might again play 25 minutes a game! C.) His cap is still a bargain. $5.5M for #1Dman is HUGE! D.) if Keith gets traded there needs to be consideration about his cap-recapture. There are major penalties to the Hawks if he chooses that Florida (or any where) isn't the place for him. Much of this can be handled...like open communication between Tallon and Bowman. Trading him back if he plans to retire. But still something to consider.

The fact that I didn't add anymore picks is that every GM knows OTT is trying to unload Smith's contract. So, by including him in the deal, it negates a little bit the need to add more picks. E.K65 for Nylander Liljegren 2018 1st 2019 2nd* (1st if EK resign) seems fair considering you get Karlsson only for a season at 6.5M and Nylander is signed through 2021 at 5M per (in my scenario). The 2019 3rd pick is for Smith &amp; Ott 2018 4th pick (salary dump, here, remember guys).
