what in the world is that salary retention trade? that's insane.

I think it's Rakell that the Leafs had interest in

No kerfoot isn't a top 6c. He's a bottom c like 3rd or 4th line c wild don't need or want

Wild aren't trading a 2nd round pick for kerfoot who isn't even a good c, & a better player @ wing; but this doesn't say much. He's Averagie

Wild also aren't taking on Kerfoot contract

It's funny you put 2022 2bd round pick because it's a good draft compared to this one,so no wild rather keep their 2022 2nd round pick

did you really just say Kerfoot showed he can be a top 6 center

its Rakell and Troy Terry they were talking about. The person with Long term deal they're interested in is I think Dvorak. As much as it pains me to say but Zach Hyman isn't back unless he takes a massive discount. Dvorak and Marner have chemistry together from Junior and re-uniting them would be crazy. On top of that Airzona will want to clear cap because they'll have an internal salary cap and wants to start a rebuild. Dvorak is 25 with 4 yrs left on a solid 4.5 million contract. Plus Dubas is going to need to construct a checking line this off-season. Its evident Sheldon Keefe wants one to put on teams top line like how they did vs McDavid with the HEM line.

In what world is Kerfoot a top 6 player? He has never scored more than 43 points in a season. I don't see us being interested in him.

He proved it in the playoffs. He had 6 points in 7 games and was one of their best forwards.

I mean its insurance as you guys don't know how Rossi is gonna be returning from his injury and I believe all of your centre contract is up minus Viktor Rask.

He has no term. CJ said the player he's referring to plays on a US team, didn't play in the playoffs, and has multiple years left.

Unless you're talking about something else.

omg stop your killing me

Yeah no. Nico sturm is amazing 3/ 4c. Joel Eriksson Ek is a complete beast whose a restricted that wild are resigning long term

Wild don't want kerfoot, & his cap much less give up a 2nd round pick in 2022 draft

K mean it's so blatantly obvious why you put 2022 2nd round pick instead of this year

Wild will just resign bonino for 3/ 4c . Nico sturm 3y 4 c, Joel Eriksson Ek 2/3c. Wild don't need kerfoot on this roster

I guess greenway and Eriksson Ek arnt top 6 players either

Leafs fans are really something.. like common dude, ignorant comment. You really have no idea what you are talking about

Leafs fans attack, & criticize their players all the time, offer them in trade proposals, & get mad when fans of other teams say no

Yiu are truly making yourself look like a casual

Joel Eriksson Ek is one of the top 5; top 10 2 way c in the game

You are really comparing Kerfoot who sucks @ c to the point many times Toronto had to move him to wingers to get him going; becoming average to Joel Eriksson Ek? Thanks for the laughter

Greenway isn't a top 6, & he doesn't play one. This season also showed he can be.

I love it when people react like this when you use their own points against them. Dude, you said Kerfoot wasnt a top 6 player because he never had more than 43 points. Eriksson Ek has never had more than 30 points, so by your own logic he's not even as good a top 6er as kerfoot. You dont like it? well maybe dont say something so silly that it can be turned on you like that.
Oh, and as far as Kerfoot 'sucking' at C, he doesnt. He's fine at it, he isnt great, he isnt bad he's just fine. And he played better than fine at 2C during the playoffs when he didnt have to drive the offence by himself and he finally had a good winger.

Philly doesn't need Rielly our LD is good enough.

Kerfoot playing a few games there due to John Tavaris injury doesn't mean much

Again, freedom of speech exist for a reason. Didn't know people aren't/ can't criticize Kerfoot when most of leafs fans criticize, & bash him daily

If you want to say kerfoot can be a top 6c, then so can Hartman, & Rask. Right?

Didn't know hockey was a 1 person sports. Joel Eriksson Ek has been playing with Marcus foligno, & Joel Eriksson Ek so your argument about kerfoot needing good W rendered your argument meaningless

Toronto can keep kerfoot then. Minnesota doesn't want him

Sure, but there's other options out there that are a lot better than Kerfoot. I'd rather go after either Strome, Dvorak, Schmaltz, Monahan, or Reinhart before we consider Kerfoot. Kerfoot just isn't that much of an upgrade for us.

oh you know it's a banger when someone randomly brings freedom of speech into a hockey talk for some weird ass reason, especially when they dont use it correctly.
Now, on to Kerfoot. I never made an argument that kerfoot is a top 6 C. Just pointed out that he has shown some capacity to play as one. He has also shown a much larger sample size of being able to play the wing in the top 6, and even do good work on a top line from time to time. So that cements him as at worst, a decent option as a top 6 player.
I dont care about Hartman and Rask since we arnt talking about them, we're talking about Kerfoot, I also know how good Eriksson Ek is, i was simply using him to point out how terrible your thing about Kerfoot only having 43 points and that means he isnt a top 6 player thing was.

I also dont care if Minnesota wants him, the leafs need him more than they need a 2nd rounder.
