For the past week, numerous Edmonton Oilers reporters have discussed the possibility of acquiring Blackhawks defenceman Duncan Keith.

That name garnered interest from plenty of Oilers fans, as Keith is not only a three-time Stanley Cup champion but also a two-time Norris Trophy winner. However, he is no longer that player.

The soon-to-be 38-year-old, along with the Blackhawks in general, has slowed down in recent years and is certainly not the elite defender he once was. In 54 games this season, he managed just four goals and 15 points, a far cry from the numbers he was capable of producing in his prime.
