The deal is now official. Chicago Blackhawks veteran defenseman Duncan Keith has been traded along with Tim Soderlund to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for defenseman Caleb Jones and a conditional pick.
The pick will be Edmonton’s third-round selection in 2022; or, in the event that the Oilers win three rounds in the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs and Keith is among the top four Edmonton defencemen in total time on ice through the first three rounds, Chicago will receive Edmonton’s second-round pick in 2022.
