No thanks. No need for Kerfoot, Rossi should center that line with Boldy and Gaudreau on his wings.

For now.

It's a bit subjective to say that Kerfoot is definitively better than Jost.

Jost is slightly less than 4 years younger than Kerfoot. He's also an inch taller and 2 lbs heavier. Their numbers and stats aren't too dissimilar over the last three years except for barring this past season when Kerfoot had a career year in points and stats.

There's a legitimate case to be made that with a legitimate chance and a full season next to better talent in a top-six role for Jost, that he could become a much better player than Kerfoot whose career year came next to better players in a 2nd line role last year.

https://frozenpool.dobbersports.com/frozenpool_compare.php?players%5B%5D=4516&players%5B%5D=3759&period=2021-2022%3AR%3A99

Of particular interest is the 3 year comparable and player usage chart at the bottom, with seasons set to all... not just the 21-22 season, to get a better sense of which player is better.

The data suggests that Jost has better underlying numbers and that he could flourish with a bigger role with better linemates if given a chance for a full season. Such as his higher shooting numbers and having won more faceoffs than Kerfoot despite having a lower faceoff percentage.

Debatable.

Last year, yes. It wasn't.

Over the last three, not so much.

Last 3 years Jost has won 28 more FOs and lost 110 more. Jost has more shots and less goals. Hits are about even. Kerfoot has twice as many blocks.

Jost hasn't topped 30p in a season. Kerfoot has 3 x 40p seasons. They roughly the same about of NHL games.

Kerfoot has 18 more career games than Jost despite being nearly 4 years older. In that entire span he has only 17 more goals than Jost through his career and that total drops to only 7 more than Jost in the last 3 years.

This is while averaging 1:43 more in ice time over the last 3 years. Last year Kerfoot averaged 2:64 more in ice time. Again, given his elevated place in the lineup on Toronto's 2nd line (last year) and better linemates it's no wonder he got the chance to produce more.

The vast majority of Kerfoot's points come through assists, in which I will easily agree he's a better playmaker than Jost.

But the fact remains, Jost's higher shooting numbers, combined with less ice time on average show that if given the same or more minutes as Kerfoot in a elevated role in the lineup going forward he could potentially produce at a equivalent rate. That's all I'm saying.

And while Plus/Minus is typically useless. Kerfoot was a plus 19 last year, while Jost was a plus 1. Over the past 3 years Kerfoot was again a plus 19, and Jost plus 26. Finally, for their careers. Kerfoot is a plus 1, and Jost a plus 10.

If Jost had been allowed to develop and not rushed to the NHL, there's the case to be made that he'd be a much better player. That upside is still there. And before Kerfoot got his elevated role this past year their numbers aren't that far off from each other, other than assists, to the point that it's disingenuous to say that Kerfoot is definitively better than Jost.

Jost takes a high shot volume. Kerfoot has a better shot. Kerfoot is better at everything on the o-zone side of things. He's more active in the d-zone game too. +/- doesn't mean much when it's different teams.

Yes Jost was rushed, and it messed up his development. I don't see any upside in his game anymore. He looks busy all the time on the ice, but accomplishes nothing. His game just hasn't transitioned well to the NHL.
