Kerfoot would have to be put on the block for a trade for that to be true. He's never been put on the market because he's a valuable player for TO. If he was on the market or was added to a trade to make the cap work, he would be a hot commodity at the deadline. Likely worth a 2nd for sure, perhaps more if he was retained at 50%. So him added to this trade is more assets for St Louis to recoup.

1) Andersson was a cancer in the room, and an entitled prick who hadn't demonstrated he was capable of being an NHL-er and wanted prime minutes and attention

2) you're implying Bill Zito has been good with asset management, the Giroux and Chiarot trades show he's been caught overpaying for pieces.

3) Tippet had 32 points in 87 NHL games between 21 and 22 years of age 0.37 PPG
Andersson had 9 points in 64 NHL games before demanding to be traded 0.14 PPG
Abruzzese has 1 point in 9 NHL games in the same age 0.11PPG

Tippet is far from an A-level prospect, but to think Abruzzese is anywhere near comparable to him? yeah, I we can differ in opinions on that one.

i never said that he was comparable, just that both of them were less than what Anderson got. Tippett was not traded as the main piece, or a significant one. .37 ppg sucks. Especially for a 22/23 year old on an offensive strong team

again, you're making assumptions.

his first two seasons, scoring at the supposed "sucky" 0.37 PPG pace, he was averaging 11 mins on your "offensive strong team"

Highly doubt he was playing with Barkov and Hubie.... so, scoring at a 35 point pace with 11 mins a night on average as a 21 and 22 year old is far from sucky, and if you think that is a sucky pace, you're understanding of hockey is limited.

i am not making nay assumptions lmao. He had proven nothing. Like there is a reason that he only played 12-13 minutes a night... because he sucked. Like he couldnt handle 20 minutes. And that is not an assumption, that is how coaching works. If he was playing well on 12 mins a night, he wouldve played more... but he didnt. He never once had a postive WAR season as a Panther. He sucked.

The fact that you are trying to argue that Tippett was traded with legitimate value is preposterous. He was terible. He was below replacement level, he was literally worse than someone making league min

You are talking so confidently on something that you are just so wrong about. 35 point pace is not good. It is not top 6 caliber. It is barely top 9

Broken as in outproduced by Kerfoot

Heh. Yeah, over a selected 8-game span. How compelling.

The only thing that sucks is your spelling, D- for an attempt at a coherent thought in that wall of text.

This you?

"you're understanding..." it is your, not you're. I had one typo, you used you're instead of your. Yet I was not backed into a corner so deep to where I needed to resort to being the grammar police

Dude... he sucks now.

40% contract retention equals $3m off of O'Reilly's contract

Yep. It's really how bad he's become in that short span
