Kerfoot to Ottawa just doesn’t work.
I see team after team with Kerfoot traded to Ottawa, but it’s just not a realistic option. Ottawa has an abundance of centres, but it’s mostly because of Kerfoots contract. I don’t care what his total salary remaining is, Dorion doesn’t trade for players with large signing bonus in their contracts. It forces Melnyk to make a balloon payment, and Melnyk hates those, so Dorion knows better than to include them in the contracts he negotiates, or trades for.
Edmonton filled their 3C with Turris, maybe Winnipeg is an option.
