kerfoot for comtois🤣

OK. I am.a Leafs fan. But on what planet, plain of existence or other dimension is Kerfoot for Comtois a straight up deal?

Good God. Lemme lay this out for you.

Comtois = Liligren + a high mid pick
Comtois + a mid pick = Sandin
Comtois = Robertson + (the broken leg is an issue)
Comtois = Kerfoot + a 1st.

Straight up? Not even close bud.

And why in the world would Detroit want Ritchie?

I get this is all fantasy but personally I can’t see why TOR would trade Kerfoot unless they are clearing cap for a 3C.

As a Ducks fan, I wouldn’t do any of those deals. Can do better than Lilly through drafting or free agency, definitely not adding a pick to get Sandin, Nick Robertson is fun and all, but meh…,and Kerfoot doesn’t have any value to the Ducks, so it’s essentially a mid-late 1st where there’s a 50/50 shot they are ever anywhere near Comtois.

Is that biased? Probably. Am I overvaluing him? Potentially. But when you’ve got a solid young player that’s has a timeline that pretty much perfectly matches your teams rebuild timeline, you don’t move him unless you’re getting a massive overpay.

Kind of my point. Unless the Ducks flip him for positional need with the same skill set (relatively speaking), why do it? Liligren, Samdin and Roberston check those boxes in their own way - and as a Leafs fan would be just as reluctant to move any of the 3 for Comtois, as good as he looks to be.

But Kerfoot? Oh my Lord no! Murray would be roasted.

Well now they are clearing cap space for Reilly, but the point is there.

Everyone declines

Did you mean Maxim Golod?

100%

I'll be the first to admit I don't watch alot of the ducks here on the east coast but I don't really see much of a difference between the two players, both of them are just under 0.50 ppg over their career. Other than the 1.5M difference in salary I don't really understand where the extraordinary evaluation of comtois comes from.

Upside big time and young.

At some point the upside is gone and the player is what they are going to be. Four years on a team starving for talent and only having 103 games tells me he is what he is and I personally don't think he'll be much better. He is literally going to be kerfoot 2.0 with a chance of being slightly less or slightly more productive.

Comtois is literally kerfoot under 0.5 ppg for their careers he doesn't return a first. He more like a 2nd and a b prospect

He's 22 years old, and was on pace for 49 points/82 games last year as a 21 year old, playing on the lowest goal scoring team in the league, while also leading the team in scoring.

103 games =1.25 full seasons.

That tells me squat about what he is gonna be.

The Ducks have been mediocre at beat for seasons, and Comtois isn't a franchise player. Very good yes. Upside yes. Zegras? No.

Kerfoot has a huge sample size in comparison to Comtois, so based on that alone, I think your assessment of "he is what he is" is waaaay off.

Yeah. I had to rebute this.

Like I am a Leafs fan supporting Comtois! Lol

Doesn't mean my point is incorrect. He's on pace to be a -65 this year and zero points.

And it doesn't tell you anything that he hasn't been able to stay in the lineup consistently? That was my exact point, over 4 years he has 1.25 seasons worth of play. If he was as good as ducks fans think he is he would have pushed into the lineup full-time two years ago on a talent deprived team.

Eyoooooo! I see that you completely understand sample sizes! Mitch Marner is on pace for 33 pts! I see why a lot of you Leafs fans get so bent out of shape on the rollercoaster that is an 82 game season

You know that goes both ways right? It also applies to your point of comtois being on pace for nearly 50 points in a full season. And I was trolling it. Because it's seems like when someone else makes a similar point in the opposite direction of your view it's a dramatic unrealistic take but your side is so measured and methodical. No man you have just as much nonsense spewing from your blowhole as every other homer on this site. My point of the entire conversation is he is going to be an average NHL player nothing more nothing less so don't blow him out of proportion like you think leafs fans so regularly do ( which I can admit alot of our fans tend to do) but we aren't all the same

I'm curious to know the "nonsense" that I've been "spewing from my blowhole". It's cool to disagree with me, but (hilariously) going off the deep end because someone doesn't agree with your "hot take" is kind of dumb.

When you say things like " Four years on a team starving for talent and only having 103 games tells me he is what he is and I personally don't think he'll be much better.", it makes me chuckle a bit. He's 22. He played 10 games a year after he was drafted (50th OA, the same year as Liljegren was taken), got hurt after an excellent start, went on the IR, was sent to go be captain of team Canada at the WJC, went on a run with Drummondville, then finished by lighting it up in the AHL. Seems like a solid way to develop a player, instead of having them play 8 minutes a night.

The following year, he played the first half of the year in San Diego, then joined the Ducks for the second half of the season before Covid shut everything down. Again, seems like a solid way to develop a player.

Finally, the next year (last year), he played the entire season in Anaheim as a 21 year old, where he led an offensively listless team in scoring, playing the entire year with a couple of plugs.

At no point did any Ducks fan compare his upside to Zegras. He's a solid upside top 6 winger.

Oh that's not off the deep end. I just enjoy throwing in a little harsh banter. Anyways to skip the waste of typing I'll just say I disagree with your assessment and don't think he'll be an high impact player. Not saying he won't have a good career but I definitely don't think he will be over 0.50 ppg in his career. He's a solid third line guy.

Edit: the nonsense from the blowhole has minimal to do with this individual take. It's the Multiple conversations had over the last few years that led me to believe that you have an extreme bias to your team (most fans do) but the good users tend to be able to take those homer glasses off every now and then, I just personally have never seen you without said glasses.

Agree to disagree. Cheers!
