I like him, but I've also seen when he's wrong. He's citing others, and I've read others (Brooks is one, same issues as Zip) saying the same. That's a decent amount of anecdotal evidence, but training camp is the ultimate decider. Zero reason to not sign Kerfoot. Solid prospect only eligible for ELC, C for a team recently bereft of bottom six C options

I don't think this would be good for Kerfoot or the Rangers. We'll see what happens

Eh, guy is 23 and played 4 years in college. If he can't break in on a team with a need a bottom six center then you worry he never will. He's a developed prospect who should be knocking on the door. Sure he'll have to adjust some but it really is kind of make it or break it when you get to that point

I know people love unproven prospects and youth but do we have enough proven quality at forward right now with Fast out? I see 9 maybe 10 guys. Hopefully Anderson is up to the task but if not.....

Free and cheap asset with a chance to be useful now or tomorrow, why not? the Florida teams and others use the no state tax advantage, so we should continue to use our "best city in the world" advantage for NCAA FAs.....he can rub elbows at the Harvard Dinner Club....

We do not, which is why I'm surprised we haven't seen a depth signing here. We all know the guys out there, bring one in.
Of course we finally do bring in a guy yesterday and its ****ing Bobby Farnham. Not what I was hoping for.

Ehhhhh someone has to play against guys in camp.
I don't see it as a big deal. Someone tough can give these kids from college or less physical leagues a crash course (pun intended) into the NHL.
Nothing to see here except a guy to train against.

Cannon fodder for preseason shenanigans, nothing interesting about him afterward.
Partly why I'm kind of concerned with Nieves, though at least he has injuries as an excuse at the moment. If he's healthy, Nieves should honestly be in the running for a 4th line spot this season or he might just end up as another guy who can't make the jump

Agree, more moves will be coming but 4C spot is Nieves' to lose. He should be handily beating DD for this role.

Hear y'a but we can't afford Jagr, we have about 1.5 to spend on a F contract assuming we trade Holden. Thinking Winnik, Stafford...

If Pionk is there, he shouldn't be disappointed. He's still young and hasn't played a single pro game yet. He can light up the AHL and be the first call up. That's not a bad start for an undrafted player in his first pro season.
If he's very obviously beyond the AHL level, teams like ELC guys playing big roles. They'll find a way to use a cheap and effective modern d-man if he's obviously ready.
