Quoting: JeffW
Ya zadorov is pretty low but bednar seems like hes not giving him tons of playing time, jimmy Howard is a decent backup but he falls apart all the time for stretches.. however I think you're to high on kerfoot, I haven't seen why people think hes so good, not that hes bad but hes not that much better then compher, u less he really turns it up for the rest of the season
I think Colorado needs to stay away from the be money free agents, if I'm sakic I say put 6 mill a year into Wayne Simmonds, and if I cant get him I just let the kids come up and give them opportunity
Kerfoot seems to have better possession/play-making ability than Compher. I haven't looked into stats to back that up, but I've always felt that Compher was one of the guys on the outside looking in. And taking a look at last year, Kerfoot had 43 pts (0.54/gp) vs Compher's 23 (0.33/gp). It'll be interesting to see how they both do in their 2nd full season/contract year, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Kerfoot get paid ~2x more than Compher.
I disagree on targeting UFAs. I would love to see COL go after high-end scoring in Stone, Panarin, or Skinner. All 3 are 26 years old, so their prime years would line up well with COL's core. COL has the cap space for any one of them, especially with Wilson ($4M)/Orpik ($1M)/Nemeth ($2.5M) coming off the books.
To be clear, I don't want COL to come out and get 3-5 UFAs and block out the prospects. But COL should take advantage of the last 4 years of MacKinnon's contract, and bringing a high-end winger in to replace Wilson would be a big move.
