Description
Saw a report that Pittsburgh would leave McCann and Aston-Reese unprotected, the Leafs could jump on that and give Pittsburgh some assets instead of seeing one of them go for nothing. Could fill some needs at a fairly cheap price.

That's honestly not a bad price for a team that could use Kerfoot, but the Preds have more than enough middle and bottom of the roster forward depth. Top 6 is the area where they could use an upgrade. NSH declines.

Are McCann and ZAR really that big upgrades from Kerfoot, Mikheyev and Engvall though?

McCann is certainly an upgrade on Kerfoot imo. Offensively, the Leafs need more from the 3C spot and if 34/91 were to get hurt and miss time, I'd be much more comfortable with McCann filling in than anyone the Leafs have now. If the cap space was there I'd ideally keep Kerfoot as the 2LW but it's not possible.

Mikheyev is a good skater who can't finish, basically a poor man's Kapanen, and Engvall is another one who I would like to see them keep if possible but Aston-Reese plays excellent defence and is at least a little bit better offensively than those guys.

I mean offensively speaking Kerfoot just outscored Matthews in the latest playoffs.

In a vacuum I'd probably take McCann over Kerfoot too, but if I had to pay two seconds for their difference with also swapping Mikheyev and Engvall for only ZAR, I wouldn't do it. The difference between the two is not that high to me.
