First off, I just want to say sorry for the long explanation. Secondly, before I explain everything, I want to say I think it's a fair trade. But here's why I would say no if I'm Bill Guerin:
I think Kerfoot's max potential is the 40 to 50 pt range. He's a decent center when on top of his game but not a great center.
I think if Jordan Greenway hits his potential, he'll be around the 50 to 60 pt range while dominating physically on the boards and down low. If he reaches his potential, he'll also dominate puck possession which will come in handy. All of this, of course, is a big if.
If we already had a true 1C for the future on our team and were in need of a middle 6 Center, I think we do this trade. But we have more middle 6 centers and are in need of a bonafide 1C. Therefore if Greenway left, I think it would be in a package for that elusive 1C we seek.
Sorry for the long explanation but I thought I'd give you credit on a fair trade instead of just saying, Minnesota declines
