<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>Buffalo, Ottawa and NJ are prime destinations for Johnsson and Kerfoot.

Buffalo will try to be active in free agency but lets face it with the reputation and culture there not many big UFA's will go. With Kahun gone i can see Johnsson being a good target as he is only owed 2.6 mill this season than 2.5 for 2 more years.

Kerfoot to me is good for teams needing defensively minded 3c. Ottawa could be interested as with Duclair gone they can use a guy like Kerfoot. Plus unlike Duclair asking for over 4mill, kerfoot is only owed 2.6 mill this year than 2.7 the next 2 seasons.

NJ can also be a destination as both would add depth to the team and help speed up the rebuild.</div></div>

If Kerfoot was a defensively minded 3C, the Leafs would be keeping him. He's not that. Edmonton is looking for a 3C and one who can jump up and play with McDavid or Draisaitl in the event of an injury makes a lot of sense I think. But again, if he was a defensively minded 3C, the Leafs would keep him and play him between Robertson and someone else on a 3rd line.

Buffalo taking Johnsson probably isn't crazy talk assuming they strike out in free agency but I don't get why they'd not qualify Kahun and then trade assets for a player who honestly isn't that much better. Johnsson is basically if they gave Kahun a shot in their top 6. And I think Jersey will have other options better and/or cheaper than Johnsson and Kerfoot. Lots of teams need to shed salary and will have guys available. The Ducks probably have to deal one of Rakell or Heinen, the Lightning still have to trade Johnson and Killorn, the Bruins may not be able to afford DeBrusk. All those guys are better than Johnsson and I think I take Kerfoot over Heinen but that's it. I don't think trading those 2 guys for picks is going to be that easy.
