Thread: Kampf will not play 3C
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BallPuckFellow10</b></div><div>Kämpf will definitely play 3C if you look at how the roster is constructed and how Keefe was coaching the team last year.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>Kampf is definitely going to play 3C. Hes the defensive specialist that Keefe has wanted for 2 seasons now.</div></div>

I like Kampf. I’ve traded for him in 4-5 ACGMs. I’m glad we got him. He’s just not a 3C. I think anyone who eats up what Dubas is saying at this point is a homer. You can’t go from not knowing who the guy is to thinking he’s the next Danault.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lyle_Bubas</b></div><div>situation A: leafs lose kerfoot for nothing, use hallander and a 7th to trade for something good

situation B: leafs lose hallander and a 7th for nothing, use kerfoot to trade for something good

I'd take situation B all day long imo

Hallander isn't worthless, you're right, he'll be a reliable bottom 6 winger one day maybe, but right now, having kerfoot on a valuable contract (in terms of real $) as a trade chip when every player on every team seemed to be available is preferable



this whole site is speculation :cool</div></div>

Okay, but you're relying on a trade that hasn't happened yet to justify what has happened. right now its more like:

situation A: leafs lose a pick and a prospect for nothing

situation B: Leafs lose Kerfoot for nothing and clear 3.5 milly

I'd take situation B all day long too. Unless you're right and a trade happens. Just can't see it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lyle_Bubas</b></div><div>the fact the chart pegs savard at getting 1.75M next season makes me question the entire validity of it, he will get massively overpaid because he's got a cup ring

the thing people fail to realize is that there could be some backroom stuff here. Seattle wanted McCann, Tanev and Kerfoot. Dubas did seattle a solid and traded nothing for mccann, now they get both of the pittsburgh guys and I'd be SHOCKED if kerfoot isn't flipped to seattle for a valuable asset. It would explain why the leafs didn't care who seattle took because they know both of them are ending up in seattle anyways

I guarantee you the asset that seattle gives us for kerfoot is worth far more than hallander/7th OR jared mccann. AND we get to keep justin holl who is a valuable player on our blueline that has chemistry playing tough minutes with muzzin. We tried barrie, dermott (sometimes), hell even rielly with muzzin and all those options typically went down in flames. The idea that anybody plays well with muzzin is false lol</div></div>

Okay, this is a bit of a walk. Not saying you're wrong, but this is entirely speculation at this point.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lyle_Bubas</b></div><div>apparently there was reason to believe that holl was going to get taken, bc he's actually good (something people somehow refuse to accept every summer lol)

oleksiak and larsson both signed for $4M plus, played LESS than holl, were on worse defensive teams than holl and had less points than holl

holl is outstanding value for a top 4 defensemen, and for whatever reason when paired with jake muzzin, he punches far above his weight class/salary grade - he's hugely valuable

idk why when we had arguably a top 5 blueline in the league (GA wise), we want to lose bogosian, dermott and holl in one offseason lol

now instead of losing kerfoot for nothing and having hallander and a 7th as trade chips (i.e. worthless), we lost hallander and a 7th and now have kerfoot as a trade chip - we're objectively better off lmao</div></div>

I wouldn't say hallander is worthless. TBH I'd rather have the 3.5mil in cap space, the prospect, the pick, and replace Kerfoot via FA
