Go ahead foot
K, but it certainly doesn't read that way.
"Kerfoot isn't likely to make the team out of camp. In a year or two he'll have Horvat, Pettersen, Sutter, Gaudette etc. He's probably not good enough to win a centre spot"
These are your words and nowhere does it imply that's his way of thinking.
Sorry it wasn't clear. It was part of a chain of conversation.
Doesn't look like Alex Kerfoot will be signing with Vancouver.

But according to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the situation, Kerfoot won’t be coming home. While playing in his hometown in front of friends and family appeared to be a persuasive bargaining chip in the Canucks favour, Kerfoot recognized that the team currently has a logjam of centres penciled ahead of him that would limit his chance of a prominent role with the team going forward.
The Canucks indulged into the free agent market on July 1st by signing Sam Gagner and Alexander Burmistrov. They were added to a mix of centres that already included Henrik Sedin, Bo Horvat, Brandon Sutter, Brendan Gaunce, and Michael Chaput.
Throw in prospects Elias Pettersson and Adam Gaudette into the fold, and it becomes apparent that there isn’t a ton of room for Kerfoot to blossom based on skillset and size, and the abundance of bottom-six forwards within the organization.
Ahh yes, our well known "logjam" at the centre position. I'd say it's more like a clog at this point. Whatever, we probably don't want a guy who's not willing to compete with Sam Gagner and Brendan Gaunce for a spot.
There is also currently Granlund and future Pettersen (coming soon) and existing filler like Megna and Chaput. Kerfoot isn't likely to make the team out of camp. In a year or two he'll have Horvat, Pettersen, Sutter, Gaudette etc. He's probably not good enough to win a centre spot, though I can't see it being much easier elsewhere.
