Just want to put something out there that I've seen in a lot of Leafs ACGMs - while I'm sure teams don't *mind* that Kerfoot's salary is only $750K, I don't think it's much of a concern for contending teams either - at least not compared to his $3.5M cap hit. A contract paying out a significantly lower salary than cap hit is typically only attractive to teams trying to reach the floor - this year, it would be the Coyotes/Ducks/Sabres level of teams (not saying anything about ability of those teams, just where they are relative to the floor.) I wouldn't be shocked if Kerfoot's partial NTC had all those teams on it - which means the thing you keep saying is a positive aspect of his deal is rendered mostly moot.
