Kerfoot is right player to move if is only about getting under the cap. 2nd round is too much in this scenerio. For example if Minnesota I would offer this package for Killorn over Kerfoot 10 out of 10. Kerfoot for 3 might fly.

 

[GBLeaf]

I think Kerfoot would be an attractive option for some teams. But only if the Leads can find a McCann or Eriksson-Ek type to come in and take his place.

Wouldn't be giving him up without something already in the pipeline, as C depth in Toronto is not good.

TML takes that and runs.

As one poster already chimed I think Kerfoot gets you a third. Tend to agree, now if the Cap wasn’t flat there may be more teams looking at him.

 

[Tit]

Okay but who plays 3C?

 

[Baksfamous112]

Okay but who plays 3C?

You guys are going to go with 6 F, 4D and 2D because... Leafs and cap space

I don't think Minnesota would make this trade and rightfully so.

Minnesota isn't trading Eriksson elk, A young really good next Mikko Koivu, who came on this season.

Minnesota doesn't need kerfoot. Minnesota is trying to find a 1c , not a 3c . Minnesota c next season will be Eric Staal, elk, sturm & 1or 2c. So , yeah no

 

[Funk21]

Okay but who plays 3C?

Ummm, they would explore the UFA market. Pretty sure we can get somebody like Brassard or Girgensons (my preferred choice) in or at around 2 million.

Kerfoot was actually really good this season, so long as he was playing C, not wing. He got shifted around a lot when teammates were out with injury, and didn't play near as well as a winger in Toronto.

I think Toronto would still accept the trade in to OP, just because it's an easy answer to the cap crunch. But MIN would, understandably, decline. And I think Toronto would be happier to trade Johnson or maybe even Kapanen first.

I believe Dubas really likes Kerfoot. So I don't think he's the guy that will be jettisoned for cap reasons.

Good trade..First of a few coming ....

 

[57special]

If MN trades for a C, it will not be for a bottom six one. They've got those. What they need is a #1C, or failing that a good #2 who can do a decent job on the PP. Not easy to find, but they do have some attractive pieces to trade.

No it's not a good trade because Minnesota wouldn't

 

[2Pair]

I could see Minnesota being willing to take a chance on a guy like Kerfoot. Wouldn't be happy if they gave up a 2nd round pick for him though.

 

[Legion34]

??? This is horrible for toronto.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Why would the Leafs want to have just 2 decent centers? Seems pretty bad

Yoi realize Minnesota has no room for kerfoot if Minnesota trade for for 1c. Who will be followed by Staal Elk & sturm

You make a lot of assumptions.

And the giant gaping hole that you have created at #3 center is filled by?

And no soon to be 37 year old Jason Spezza is not a valid answer

I feel like I realize quite a few things that you will never comprehend. Like the fact that there isn't anyone on the Wild roster named Elk.

pierre engvall can play C or a we can sign a C from free agency.

Apologies I wasn't necessarily saying Kerfoot for Eriksson Ek was a trade proposal. More just, i'd only trade Kerfoot if someone like EE was available to replace him.

Engvall works better on wing he's proven that

Take it up with Dubas who built this gem of a roster. If you are trading Kapanen plus for a d man it pretty safe to assume you will have to add salary. 1m top4 d-man don't exactly make the market.

Of course TML are not as good if you trade Kerfoot for a 3rd or 2nd or whatever. But if you are "dumping" a 3m+ player for cap between Kerfoot, Kapanen, or Johnsson(assuming knee is cleared) its Kerfoot who goes.
