Proposal: Non Blockbuster CLB-TOR Trade

[Cherry Picker]

Curious if this would work for Columbus, I feel like Jenner would be a better fit for Toronto at 3C.

TO CLB: Kerfoot + Dermott

TO TOR: Jenner

CBJ fans are going to want more for Jenner, they love him

 

[stevo61]

Kerfoot is a whole lot of meh and Dermott likely doesnt even make the team. Jenner means a lot to the Blue Jackets so that a big no

 

[SteelCityCannon]

No thanks from a Jackets pov. Jenner and Foligno would be tough to deal as they mean more to the Jackets than any other team.

 

[Fro]

Jenner is a huge fan favorite...so you won't get favorable responses

 

[Mrfenn92]

Jackets say no

 

[Viqsi]

Not much point to this. We're not exactly hurting on the blueline, so the value proposition just isn't there.

 

[CatchyTune]

Nahhh that makes no sense value wise. Swapping 3C's with Dermott on top makes no sense.

 

[McJedi]

Columbus says no easily. Toronto offering nothing of value here.

Not all 3C are created equal. That’s nothing close to a lateral move at 3C.

Is Jenner really an upgrade over Kerfoot? and a Dermott sized gap in value at that?

 

[the Chad Kilger]

cant see cbj giving up their #1C

If Jenner is not really an upgrade over Kerfoot, why are the Leafs wanting to trade Kerfoot in the 1st place?

Blue Jackets already have Domi. Domi and Kerfoot are not a good combo up the middle. Need to do better than that to pry away Jenner

Most 3C are an upgrade over Kerfoot.

He absolutely is and if you have to ask that there’s really no point in me debating the value with you between those players. I say that thinking Dermott is a decent young D but he also will require protection which he wouldn’t get in Columbus so he’d be exposed to Seattle anyways. Zero reason for Columbus to entertain the downgrade of a fan favourite

 

[ViD]

Makes no sense for Columbus.

We have an abundance of bottom 6 forwards and third pair d men

Who says they are? Havent heard they were shopping him.

Maybe. Kerfoot has been good in that slot and dont have any problem keeping him there.

What does make Jenner so much more valuable?

Kerfoot has outscored him all 3 years he has been in the league. And Kerfoot had more points in the play-in series than Jenner all playoffs.

I understand this being a pointless move for CBJ as they dont need Dermott but lets not act like just because its bad for CBJ its automatically good for Toronto. I dont do this.

Future captain ability.

seriously

Yep, with Foligno contract coming up. Especially now, most our top 6 is full of top 9 players. Character guys like him are needed.

cool. still dont see how that increases trade value. especially to Toronto who have at least 5 guys they would name captain before him.

 

[majormajor]

Jenner is a beastly winger on the forecheck, that's his best attribute as a player. They don't want to use him at center anymore so they can get the most out of him. At center he barely scores, and he's not much better than Koivu/Nash in that low-event center role.

I don't really understand why the Leafs, who need a shutdown center option, didn't go for a guy like Koivu, and loaded up with geriatric pure scorers like Spezza, Simmonds, and Thornton. Just one shutdown center would make a big difference for the Leafs.

It increases his value to Columbus, we can end it with that.
