There is a link to the Chicago Blackhawks through the Edmonton Oilers, as former Stanley Cup champion Duncan Keith has been in the Oilers front office since 2022.
He’s been with the team, as a player development coach and as a seasoned veteran in the league and has a lot of wisdom to impart to current NHLers and prospects.
One of those who is under his wing is Connor McDavid, who came close to a Stanley Cup championship but was unable to finish off Paul Maurice’s Florida Panthers in a tight series.
Recently McDavid was asked about former Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith and what he brings to the table.
“I think of Duncan Keith (and) learning off of him,” McDavid stated. “He’s played in every single big game there is to play in. How he conducts himself, how he handles himself every day.”
“Learned a lot from a guy like him.”
This was after Oilers practice, and Keith brings a pedigree of winning not even McDavid could match, yet.
McDavid has seen plenty of post-season play, but last year was the first time he actually competed for the most coveted prize in the league.
The kind of passion we saw in McDavid during his short albeit, emotional speech during the Amazon “Face-Off” series gives us an indication of how badly he wants a cup.
Keith could be one of the many ex-Blackhawks in league offices everywhere, who are propelling their teams to long-term success.
Not only that but his short-time playing on the Oilers has proven to be valuable for players like Evan Bouchard, who has skyrocketed in production since he’s become arguably the Oiler’s best defenseman, with Keith’s help undoubtedly.
Now if only the Blackhawks could find more of their Stanley Cup-winning veterans to mentor Connor Bedard and Philipp Kurashev you think we could win a Stanley Cup in the future?
The Blackhawks are 2-4-1, and Luke Richardson is having trouble finding the best lineup to run with.
Tonight they face the Nashville Predators and Steven Stamkos who has been in a slump.
