Should Shildt show more fire? Sour grapes over Pietrangelos contract?
Over the past few days I have written far more about Duncan Keith than I ever expected to as an Oilers blogger. Moving past the ranting and raving, here are my thoughts; spending assets, particularly young defensemen who still could develop into legitimate top four players such as Caleb Jones on a soon to be 38 year old defenseman who has been in decline for the past couple seasons is a bad idea. I firmly believe the Oilers best opportunity to win is in the next 3-5 seasons. Every move that the Oilers do moving forward should answer yes to the question, "does this move help to achieve that goal."
