With six Stanley Cups, two Norris Trophies, a Conn Smythe Trophy and three Olympic gold medals between them, Keith and Seabrook have a wealth of experience and knowledge to pass on to the Blackhawks’ plethora of high-end defensive prospects and young defensemen currently on the roster.
Despite his very unfriendly team contract, it’s been rumored in the past that Chicago was hesitant to trade Seabrook because the team values the leadership he brings.
If that’s true of Seabrook, the team must still value Keith, who has a less burdensome contract than his longtime defensive partner and is seemingly playing at a higher level.
