Not with us anyway. But he had a few in his time with the Leafs.Haven't seen any cheap shots so far.

Robertson looks like an absolute stud...Kerfoot looks like one of the best 3Cs in the NHL and Nylander is going to be on one of the best contracts in the league in a few years when all the other sweet heart deals expire.
Starting to think that this might be one of the ever elusive win:win trades.
They're not still trying to talk themselves into believing Kerfoot is the best 3C in the league anymore?If Toronto extends Barrie I think it is. If they don’t Kadri, and his contract, is a high price for a rental Barrie. Kerfoot for Rosen + 3rd net out in my mind.
There’s a lot of second guessing on the Toronto board right now regarding this trade.

Barrie is always a slow starter.No, they already believe that about Kerfoot. But have decided Barrie suxs.
This is good news for us then lol. He’s looked solid enough so far. Funny enough, Kadri is usually the same way. So stoked he’s got off to a good start for you guys, we certainly miss him. @CB Joe Kadri has a reputation of being dirty but he plays well between the lines 99% of the time. He has a habit of getting caught up in big emotional moments and if someone crosses that line on the other side, he’ll take it to the next level. To me, it’s a skill set you want on the team. He will always defend a player if necessary.Barrie is always a slow starter.
He's used to having Landeskog in front of the net to redirect the puck. Avs rarely use shots against the boards.This is good news for us then lol. He’s looked solid enough so far.

Wanted to ask if Barrie has always taken a high amount of shots from the point. Seems like he’s always trying to get it through rather than making a play to the wall. I don’t necessarily love a Dman taking low percentage shots from there. Especially on a team that lacks big bodies and a general netfront presence to screen/tip. I’d actually like to see Barrie on the PP1 but I think we’re legitimately trying to lower his point totals and sewer his value to re-sign. Unfortunately he’s good and putting up points regardless lol.
In a vacuum, I think the trade was fair value. But it’s just not what the Leafs needed. The Leafs are a Ferrari that desperately needed a new transmission, but went with upgraded rims instead. Looks nice, but not at all what was needed.If Toronto extends Barrie I think it is. If they don’t Kadri, and his contract, is a high price for a rental Barrie.

Yes Barrie is a volume shooter. It’s something he learned from playing with Burns at the Worlds a few years ago. It’s a positive thing though because Barrie is really really good at getting pucks through traffic.This is good news for us then lol. He’s looked solid enough so far.

There’s definitely a benefit to that and it’s needed some times. But When when you have 3 all world players on your team like the Leafs, you’d rather those guys shoot just based solely on the percentages.Yes Barrie is a volume shooter.

They may seem like “low percentage” shots but every shot that reaches the net is a valuable one. Especially with traffic and screens in the way.
Meh I don’t really agree. I can’t say this with any certainty but I doubt there’s much eveidence in the history of the sport that shows more success coming from passing up shooting opportunities to trying to create the perfect play.There’s definitely a benefit to that and it’s needed some times.

I should have phrased that better (I’m joking obviously) I’m not saying that’s the only factor but it’s certainly going to be a byproduct of Reilly playing the PP1. No coach is going to bring in a new player and put him in over a player who has played within the system for years and has similar offensive production. To be fair babs has questionable lineup decisions anyways. You know... Matthews Tavares playing 18 mins.No coach would intentionally make his players play worse just for them to be easier to resign. That is actually an insulting accusation on Babcock's integrity.
Alex Tanguay says hello. However, Kerfs numbers aren’t sustainable at this point IMO. There’s no doubt in any logical leafs fan that Kadri is by far the better centre.IMO Kerfoot will always have a high shooting % because he doesn't shoot often and when he does it is because the odds of scoring are well in his favor. It happens quite often with guys that overpass.
Never said it was sustainable. I said he will probably always have a high shooting %. His career number is 17%.Alex Tanguay says hello. However, Kerfs numbers aren’t sustainable at this point IMO. There’s no doubt in any logical leafs fan that Kadri is by far the better centre.
His point was that Tanguay is the same, didn't shoot much so he had a high shooting %. Career 18.6%. Alex Tanguay Stats | Hockey-Reference.comNever said it was sustainable. I said he will probably always have a high shooting %. His career number is 17%.
Not sure why you bring up Tanguay. I'm pretty sure he had a higher than average % as well. Not sure where to find that data though.
