Kerfoot is maybe worth a 7th and even that's a reach

 

[Puckclektr]

Kerfoot doesn’t have a lot of value. Maybe 5-7. If that.
Johnsson I would rather give up Carolina third and Boston fourth. Not a second.

 

[Forge]

As a devils fan, just don't have interest.

 

[Langdon Alger]

A rebuilding team like LA probably doesn’t want to trade an early second round pick for a guy like Kerfoot.

 

[howkie]

Dont see Kings need Kerfoot. Vilardi, Kopitar Kupari? etc and cheap centers on ufa market should do it

To LA: Alex Kerfoot | To Toronto: LA 2020 2rd pick
To NJ: Andreas Johnsson | To Toronto: NYI 2021 2rd pick

both are easily replaceable middle 6 guys, and many similar will likely be available in off-season due to flat Cap

the window to get 2ds for them maybe closed with the 'pause'

but who knows? Leafs juts got a 1st for KK .....

Although I think it's aiming too high for Kerfoot (and no way is he needed in LA), Johnsson should be in and around that value. KK was worth a 1st but also to get a prospect like Hallander was a robbery.

 

[Double Dion]

I'd have interest in Johnsson for the Flames. I'd move a 2021 2nd rounder for him. That Kapanen deal was a great one for the Leafs!

 

[Mickey Marner]

Can't see the Leafs trading away an entire 3rd line.

 

[Joel Ward]

Bad take.

I don't see the value of either player to either franchise really though. LA has Kopitar and Carter down the middle plus a bunch of young players entering the mix. Devils arent exactly lacking middle six caliber wingers.

Hahaha. Yea no chance LA should move a 2nd for Kerfoot when he is not needed at all. His value is no where near a 2nd

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Johnsson is fine I guess but I am not giving up a 2nd

if you want a 4th or something sure

 

[Stimpythecat]

Trying to clear cap for Pietrangelo? That would mean 5 players get around $50 million. Really top heavy.

Go big or go home.

 

[Smitty426]

Ilya Mikheyev for Mikey Mcleod
I.M. is getting a raise from his $925K as a RFA, M.M. has one more year at $866K
Does IMs RFA status make this a no go?

 

[Tairy Greene]

Kerfoot isn't anything special but he is an average 3rd line center and that has some value. SMH at people saying hes only worth a late pick

 

[Boondock]

I could see Detroit having interest in AJ and maybe even Kerfoot as place holders. Both can play up or down in the middle 6 forward spots. What about

To Detroit: AJ and Kerfoot
To Toronto: 2020 Washington 2nd, 2020 SJ 3rd, 2021 Oilers 2nd, Glendening

Detroit would still have 4 picks in the first 3 rounds and would improve their team. Neither contract is so big or long term that it will negatively impact Detroit's ability to re-sign their young guys. Detroit is early enough in the rebuild I don't think either AK or AJ would "block" any of Detroit's youth, at least not for a couple years. Toronto clears $5.1 million in cap space and adds a few picks.

Two 2nd round picks, a 3rd and Glendenning for that garbage...GTFO of here. Yzerman isn't Rutherford we fleece you not the other way around.

Try getting 6th ftom each club.

 

[TheNewEra]

kerfoot holds little value but johnsson actually holds decent value imo as a #6/7 forward. I would give up a 3rd + middle of the road prospect or late pick for him

 

[Mrfenn92]

Kings say no easily. Isles say no also.

 

[Martin Skoula]

If guys like Goodrow can get 1sts at the deadline, I don't see why Johnsson can't especially if he spends the season on a bad team where he gets top-6 minutes + PP time. Buying him for a 2nd right now is a move with a pretty high floor, worst case you get a 2nd back if he tops out at 35-45 points again.

deadline prices =/= offseason prices

Johnsson has 3 more years left on his contract so doubtful he'd be sold off at the next trade deadline

 

[A1LeafNation]

Leafs aren't trading Kerfoot.

If Kapanen can fetch a 1st, Johnsson can fetch similar. They are both 20-20 speedy wingers who can pp and pk.

I'm not expecting to get a 1st for him this offseason, I'm just saying he's a good investment even if he's not a long-term piece for your team. You'll probably get more than you paid for him in the long run on top of improving your middle-6 while he's playing for you.

Someone like Detroit can give him good offensive minutes and sell him for a profit when their kids start contesting his spot.
