No, the proposal was bad then and is bad now. You should feel bad, it’s actually awful. Kerfoot is a useful player who is sort of a Swiss Army knife that can move up and down the line up.
Last year wasn’t indicative of the kind of player he can be. Between Babcock misusing him and Barrie from day one to having his face caved in and having to play with a birdcage on.
I'm so sick of this narrative. He's done nothing of significance at the top of the lineup as a winger. He has done even less as a 3C and has been vastly outperformed by Engvall when he has Hyman and Soup on that line.
Kerfoot had a few decent games in the playoffs last year and his value saw a bump because he was PKing but this year he's been average at best on the PK. He doesn't produce nearly enough offense and isn't anywhere near good enough defensively to warrant the type of money he makes.
Like I said in my previous post, he brings nothing to the table that we can't get for a guy that's making the league minimum. Heck, I would happily give our prospects a shot over him. I would happily take Robertson or next year bring in a guy like Hallander that we picked up in the Kapanen trade.
For the record. ZACH HYMAN IS A SWISS ARMY KNIFE PLAYER. He's the jack of all trades and does everything for us. Kerfoot is f***ing useless. Just because he can lineup from 1st line to 4th line doesn't mean he's adding any value to those lines. Vesey did the same and now he's no longer on the team. And that's a great thing because he didn't bring anything to the table either. At least he was getting paid league minimum and was claim worthy.
