Sportsnet reporting that 'decision day' for Kerfoot is tomorrow....Rangers are in the mix.
With his buddy and former Harvard teammate Vesey on the Rangers, and Manhattan the preferred
destination for future businessmen on the make, I'd say the Blueshirts have the inside track.

He built an NHL size rink in his basement of his Whistler house, I believe. The city of Whistler tried to blackmail him into building a community rink; however he had the money to tell them to go screw themselves. They had no grounds to refuse his plans; and you can't bully billionaires. I probably have some of the details wrong, but I am pretty sure thats basically what happened
Edit: from off the web ....
#1. What does it take to be the Most Expensive home in Whistler? If you said a NHL size hockey rink with seating for over 100 of your closest friends you would have guessed right! This 1 level property spread across 500 ft. of waterfront is a spectacular modern creation in property development today. 2177 Lake Placid Rd is owned by Greg Kerfoot, the owner of the Vancouver Whitecaps soccer team. Greg is the CEO of Crystal Decisions and Seagate Software and his Whistler property has just added to his collection of prestige properties in BC. The property has been assessed with a value of $13,900,000! With a living area of 15,000 sq. ft this home is not short of space. The property is separated in a space age pod setup which is very cutting edge! I guess thats what it takes to be Whistler’s Most Expensive Property.
Just to clarify for people: it is not NHL sized. It is a mini rink made for 3 on 3 and it is its own building. He hosts two 3 on 3 tournaments a year with his buddies. It's a lot of fun. There is no seating around the rink, but a viewing area for the team who is not playing. It is definitely a very cool place.
What do you mean? Like a back yard rink
However, the "viewing area" is more like a high end lounge, with big comfy leather seats and wall to ceiling glass. And there is standing room around the rink... And when he built it, the kids were small enough to play more than 3 on 3, so don't think of it exactly like a mini rink, more like a small rink. It has score board, clocks, etc.- a REALLY awesome place to grow up playing and practicing.
Lucky kids, but to be disparaging of their opportunity bothers me to no end. The boy took advantage of his opportunity and became a skilled player. Pretty darn cool if you ask me.
The fact is, the rink is in Whistler and they lived in West Van, playing hockey and going to school all fall, winter and spring, so I don't know exactly how much time they spent actually staying in Whistler practicing etc..
So it seems that Rangers media and fans think Kerfoot has a chance of making the Rangers opening night. Am I underrating this guy or do the Rangers have worse depth?

Latest rumor is he is down to five teams with the Rangers and Sharks being the top two.

was wondering the same thing myself.
J.T. Miller age 23 Kevin Hayes age 24 and Mika Zibanejad, age 24 are their 3 highest scoring centres. So ok, maybe he starts as a winger? is he currently any better then the wingers Rangers have?
is "Gavin Lee" reliable?
LOL on the Islanders being a spot. don't think any team is dumb enough to offer a one way deal.
