So which lucky bastard will Jim Trade for this week?

Can you imagine if it was Canucks trading for Keith? I hear their fans are not happy at all, and I am not sure it is bad deal until I see him play.

I mean he’s turning 38 this week. I think he’d be fine on a 3rd pair to stay fresh but not sure I wanna pay 5.5M for that.

Old guys typically do best on special teams and limited 5v5 roles

We will see his level of play in a few months. I know I hit the best shape of my life when I was 39-45. Depends how hard he trains . Some people are freaks.

Then again he could suck.

Sounds like Pekka Rinne is retiring tomorrow.

K.Versteeg said he watched him alot this last year and looked good , still very smart player, and he is a fitness freak , so it would not surprise me to see him do well

Same here I thought he looked okay also. He was still skating the puck out of his own end . Did not look like he didn't belong.

You know, if the Canucks traded for Keith, he would instantly become the teams best defenseman.

Thanks Carol, it wouldn’t surprise me to see Seattle take one of Vancouver’s pending UFA’s as their selection. They don’t have an AHL team, probably don’t want to pay for development years if they don’t have to (though they will need a few guys for injury replacement).

Vasily Podkolzin is a solid bet to become an NHLer, but the fact that he was drafted 2 years ago and still hasn't cracked an NHL equivalency of 20 makes it very unlikely that he will become a star. #Canucks

Man Podz keeps getting bigger. Can't wait for camp. His style in the NHL will be more productive. He could be a good fit on any line. That's a win.

I have seen about 10 Chicago games over the past 2 sort of seasons, Keith was still the smartest player on the ice and he can still skate decent enough.

That would depend on if they sign Edler or not…

If Canucks upgrade 2 Dmen and two top 9 I will call it a win.

Apparently the Rangers might be trading Buchnevich , due to potential arbitration award.
I proposed Schmidt-Buch trade , I wonder if that would work.
G.Gallant loves Schmidt, and their D is young enough to bring a vet like him in

I seen Keith play a few times last year , he looked fine. I think this trade you have to wait to see how it plays out. Maybe Barrie wants 7 mil?
- VANTEL

May want 7mil. Doubt he gets that much being the type of dman he is and the points racked up playing with Mc Drai. But say 6 mil or even 6.5. Thats only 500k/1m more than Keith with better and proven with the Coilers numbers. Unless Barrie said "Thanks, but i'm out" way too much for Keith dollar wise, let alone assets as well. Now the dman rumoured to be exposed for E-draft is gone so that needs replacing as well, so you lose another piece in this deal.
