This would be a no from the wild. The Minnesota Wild doesn't have cap space, & frankly not sure I can say Kerfoot is better than a 3c. Nick Bonino, 3c & Joel Erickson ek 2c are all better than Kerfoot

That's fair enough, I was honestly just looking for a random team to cap dump Kerfoot to, wasn't super picky on finding a team to do that with lol

Leafs have lots of wingers and but with this trade you force the Leafs to really downgrade at centre.
So in effect, the supposedly upgrade with Hertl over Kerfoot cost the Leafs an NHL Dman and a first....not worth for the Leafs./
More silly extension talk, they ain't happening and besides Dermot is still is under club control for I believe three years.

We're keeping in mind the expansion draft where the Leafs will certainly protect Rielly, and have to protect 2 of Brodie, Muzzin or Holl which means Dermott will be gone. He's not getting consistent ice time with the Leafs, and it's been rumoured the Leafs want to get another top 6 option on offense (I hope to god the guy they were talking about isn't Galchenyuk). Not a lot of teams rn with top 6 guys on still affordable deals with more than 1 year of team control like Rakell who is a bonafide top 6, even 1st line winger. I like Dermott but unfortunately, they have to trade him before they lose him to Seattle for nothing. Also Kerfoot is as good as gone next year if Toronto brings Freddy back, when you say "more silly extension talk" and "they aren't happening, could you be a bit more specific? I haven't done anything outrageous, I gave Andersen market value considering Markstrom got 6x6 after a much better season that Freddy is having rn, I gave Hyman a hometown discount that he's basically said he'd be willing to take, and a bunch of random depth guys to fill in the bottom 6. Kerfoot isn't getting traded because I want him gone, he's getting traded because how else are you going to bring back Hyman, Freddy, and half your bottom 6 without sacrificing someone? I agree the Leafs are weak at center, but what do the Leafs do instead? Trade Nylander? Trade Marner? The reality is say what you want about Freddy but the Leafs desperately need him back in net for next year. Campbell is great but he is a Jake Allen type, he is not a workhorse starter like Freddy is. Scott, Woll and Ahktyamov are simply not close to the NHL at this point. Hyman maybe you say is expendable and you keep Kerfoot, but I have yet to meet a single Leafs fan who'd rather have Kerfoot at 3.5 than Hyman on a hometown discount.

Its a cap dump. If we are to bring back Freddy, Hyman and Rielly(in the future) Kerfoot needs to go. Plus, Rowney is just a placeholder. The Leafs have tons of prospects who could be ready to take a spot in the lineup when the time comes.
