After weeks of negotiation, the Chicago Blackhawks and Edmonton Oilers have finally completed a trade with Duncan Keith as the centerpiece. And despite a future Hall of Fame defenseman heading Edmonton's way, it seems the Blackhawks made out as winners of the tug-o-war.
Keith and Tim Soderlund land with the Oilers in exchange for defensive prospect Caleb Jones and a conditional draft pick in 2022. More importantly, however, when breaking down the swap, Chicago will not retain a dime on Keith's $5.538 million salary over the next two seasons.
