<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PrisonMike</b></div><div>All signs point to Kerfoot on his way out...

I'm actually really high on Kerfoot and I think the organization is also. I think trading kerfoot is just the easy way out of the cap crunch but you lose a valuable player and part of the room. He's their NHLPA rep and he wears an A during pre season games. He's a really useful player. Would hate to see him go. I agree Robertson has stepped up a lot this pre-season.. he's waivers exempt which is nice. I'd be fine with waiving Guadette and moving Robertson to 2LW, would get them even closer to the LTIR pool because he has a 792K or something. Now that I think about it, i prefer Robertson 2LW. Gaudette could clear and would be easily replaceable. If injuries happen you could shift the lineup (Kampf 3C) and a lot of marlies could step into the fourth line role (really liked Steeves and Holmberg in camp) Malgin also showed that he has the skill to do so. Only thing is we haven't seen either of Robertson or Malgin against the top competition in the NHL. It'll get tighter and faster out there. Still really like them both and I think they will play for the leafs if not on opening night sometime during the season. I think Kampf could easily play 3C but I'm really curious what Keefe could do with an actual deployable fourth line. They are fast, defensively responsible and actually have some offensive touch too. I agree with you, I think NHL Dman are a premium and we should not explore trading any.
