Nashville rejects

NSH will not trade Forsberg
and would not be interested in Kerfoot

Amirov or Robertson must be in that deal

Nashville isn't retaining for that return.

Sandin, Robertson and a 1st for Forsberg, half retained, seems fair....

Love the idea of Forsberg but you will need more than that

Toronto

He has 1 yr left…

Toronto isn’t giving up the farm for a player with 1 yr left. EK65 wasn’t even traded for a Sandin/Robertson level prospect. It was literally Josh Norris, a 2020 1st and 2019 2nd. You warrant that kind of return

1yr left bud. We don't even have his rights as he a UFA and can walk...

If there was term then Amirov or Robertson but there's no term unfortunately.

For 1 yr of Forsberg. He’s as UFA. He can walk. EK65 at the time of the trade was only Josh Norris, Demelo, 2020 1st and 2019 2nd. The difference is EK65 was a two time Norris winner and Forsber is just an All star. Huge difference why the return is far less in comparison

NSH would get more without retaining or taking on a Kerfoot so why would they do this?

It’s evident Filip Forsberg is disgruntled with the direction of Nashville. You get back an A-tier prospect is Nick Abruzzese, Kerfoot who had a strong playoffs and 2022 1st which is a deep class. More than fair for 1yr of Forsberg who hasn’t played a full season since 2016-17. There would be better packages as teams would overpay but the value is fair.

Aside from a thumbs down emoji Forsberg is not disgruntled, he mentioned his interested in signing a long term deal with NSH at seasons end.

Kerfoot is another bottom 6 forward, NSH has way too many of
Abruzzese undersized forward with offensive upside, intriguing but wouldn't call an A prospect
First round pick would be late, at least low 20s

Also you just had 4 people say NSH would decline, value isn't there, Toronto doesn't have to trade for forsberg so perhaps look at some FAs

Yes

If he's an A prospect then everyone's an A prospect

He literally commented on Viktor Ardvinsson post that he doesn't like the move and you mention a presser that was before the Ardvinsson trade.

Kerfoot is bottom 6 player lol. How is it he scored 6 point in 6 playoff games the second he moved to the 2nd line? He just plays a bottom 6 role in Toronto because this years team was deep.

Abruzzese is undersized forward but that's where the NHL is heading. its really dissapointing you're pointing out undersized as an attribute to a player's value. Brayden Point, Caulfield, Robertson,Gallagher, Gaudreau are all players with similar heights or smaller. Height doesn't diminish value anymore. Also as 20 yr old he was over ppg in College at a top men's hockey program that produced Adam Fox, and more. Its rare you see player dominate like that at his age. He unanimously a top 50-75 prospect in the NHL currently. How is that not an A-level prospect?

Its a deep class. Its not like this year, or 2017. In deep classes you have value in the 25-32 range. Case and point 2015.

Lastly, I doubt many of you watch the Leafs or its prospects. If they did you would've known about Kerfoot offensive upside, more about Abruzzese or even about Forsberg injury concerns.

LMFAO go watch him at Havard and then ask yourself why Buffalo let him slip to the 4th round.

There S-tier, A-tier, B-tier and etc.

S-tier is Byfeild are NHL superstars in the making.

A-tier is like Abruzzese who are expected to be top 6f.

you get the idea.

Forsberg commented that hes not liking the pic. Hes obviously going to voice his displeasure when his best friend/fellow suede is traded away. It doesnt mean he wants out or would leave NSH.
Kerfoot had a good playoff but I dont think any team wants him in their top 6. He also benefited from playing with a hot Nylander.
Abruzzese size doesn't hurt his value. Im a big advocate for results over size, hes an undersized player and thats just who he is. I watched him a lot this year, he has the skill and IQ to take the next steps as an A level prospect. He still needs another year of production in college which hes on pace to do.

I live in the GTA, watch a lot of Toronto games. Work for company that handles college and CHL analytics.

If you view Forsberg as an injury-riddled rental might not be the best guy to trade for

Would take one of Amirov/Robertson/Liljegran/Sandin and a 1st for Forsberg especially with retained salary. Not a good enough offer

Poile isn't retaining 50% on Forsberg plus taking Kerfoot for another year who he likely has no interest.

Kerfoot signing bonus has been paid out. He’s paying 1.7 over the next 2 yrs. Hes saving money even when retaining cap.

I think any team has interest in a forward being paid 1.7 million when he was one of the Leafs best players in the playoffs
