Why would Chicago add a 2nd round pick? They’re giving up the better player in the deal plus taking on a bigger cap hit.

37 year old washed Keith is better than Neal?

Chicago easily declines.

I'd take washed Keith over washed Neal.

You must think Klefbom has always stunk then.

You fail to include klefbom did that with one shoulder! It’s come out his injury was so bad he could barely put a shirt on unassisted.
But yes keep posting 2 year old stats thanks

Pittsburg says sure.

Yeah not the greatest player.

I do recommend using relative stats, in particular @TopDownHockey’s GAR, JFresh’s player cards, or EH RAPM.

After review it looks like it might be more of a fair trade if it were:
Keith and a 4th for Russell and Neal

Better buyout.

For the short-term, not the long term.

I'm just pointing out that if Keith is washed up...then Klef wasn't ever a real hockey player....which isn't true at all. I like Kelf. It's just also blatantly false suggest Keith is washed up.

if you watch him play or look at basic with/without numbers he’s easily not good anymore. He’s 37 years old

I watch him play alot. That's why I'm not asking you whether he's good or not. I'm telling you. He's still been good.

He played 25:25 for 62 games and two years ago is the last season Klef played. The point is anyone can throw out analytics. There's a story behind the stats. Keith training 5 different rookies is also a reason.

He played through those whole 62 games with the shoulder issue. It’s called arthritis. Don’t just toss in a stats link but don’t factor in injuries, d partners, zone starts, etc.

Please compare Duncan Keith to caleb Jones stats for this year please and see whose “advanced stats” line up side by side with no other background info. Thanks.

I think you bring up a great point. Another story where analytics don't tell an accurate picture. Caleb Jones doesn't play. Period. Continually a healthy scratch. I don't care what his analytics are. So he had a handful of good games with limited minutes against sub par competition...Ok. It's completely irrelevant. He doesn't play.

That’s the main point I’m trying to make. It’s easy enough to whip up a link with numbers that look like good window dressings, but have no substance or variable equated into them.

And it’s a what have you done for me lately league where if you take the last seasons numbers with no variables you’ll see kieth was awful last year. But those numbers won’t show he had no legit partner, played the other teams beat and frankly played too much and wore down
He’s not awful but he’s not worth 5.5 mil to anyteam

My proposal was Keith $1M retained for Mikko, Jones, and a 5th that can increase depending on Keith's play.
