But 46 points in 71 games isn't worth $6,650,000.
Especially when you're 25 and average defensively.

Toronto Maple Leafs signed Roni Hirvonen (3 Years / $856,667 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JustanIdea</b></div><div>Neimela and Hirvonen are smaller and are supposed to score a lot. </div></div>
That's partially true for Hirvonen, but Niemela was drafted as a high-level defender who was never expected to put up points.
In his draft year, scouts saw him as a slightly undersized but smart positional defender with great stick work and breakout passes.
His stylistic comparables were guys like TJ Brodie. He's also 6'0 and 180 lbs today but CapFriendly hasn't updated his info since 2019.
<strong>NIEMELA PRE-DRAFT SCOUTING:</strong>
<strong>Jokke Nevalainen 2019</strong>
<em>"Niemela surprised a lot of people by making Karpat’s Liiga team but he forced the issue. His biggest strength is his defensive smarts. His hands
and shot are good but not elite, and he won’t be a point-producer. He's currently a projected 2nd rounder in the 2020 NHL Draft, but like last
year with Tobias Bjornfot at 22nd overall, he can be drafted much higher as a projected minute muncher who should be NHL ready very soon."</em>
<strong>Hayden Soboleski 2019</strong>
<em>"Niemela has spent his time on the Liiga's Karpat squad so far in 2019-20, and has continued to show off his defensive smarts on the blueline.
He will never be a scoring dynamo or overly notable in fantasy formats, but he continues to show good transitions that leads to team offense."</em>
<strong>Elite Prospects 2020</strong>
<em>"Niemela takes phenomenal care of the puck and is willing to use the center of the ice. He displays high levels of competence with the puck on
his stick. He smartly scans the ice with shoulder checks before collecting the puck, then smartly and decisively moves play in the other direction."</em>
<strong>Dobber Prospects 2020</strong>
<em>"The Maple Leafs have selected Niemela in the 3rd round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. This is an excellent value pick considering most pre-draft
scouting rankings had him listed as an early 2nd. Currently in his second season playing against men, he isn’t a big point producer but his strong
transition play and skating skill makes him a safe pick by draft standards. He projects as a defensively responsible 2nd or 3rd pair defensemen."</em>
Niemela's offensive skillset kind of came out of nowhere in his D+1 and D+2 seasons.
Hirvonen was also seen as an undersized defense oriented forward in his draft year.
<strong>HIRVONEN PRE-DRAFT SCOUTING:</strong>
<strong>Elite Prospects 2020</strong>
<em>"Hirvonen is dutiful in the defensive zone, maintaining an elevated work rate and putting on a clinic in body leverage going into puck
retrievals. He does a fantastic job of anticipating plays, closing passing & shooting lanes, and making defensive switches on the cycle."</em>

I see people using Kerfoot as a <em>"throw-in contract</em>" in Armchair GM trades all the time.
And the most common response is <em>"Toronto has to pay to dump Kerfoot's contract"</em>.
<strong>Then I looked at Kerfoot's statistics:</strong>
- <strong>46</strong> points (on pace for 60 point season)
- <strong>42</strong> even-strength points (39th in NHL)
- <strong>03</strong> short-handed points (16th in NHL)
- <strong>2.86</strong> points per 60 mins (35th in NHL)
- <strong>15:10</strong> time on ice (220th FW in NHL)
- <strong>$3,500,000</strong> cap-hit (expires in 2024)
- Kills penalties (third best PK in NHL)
- Gets close to zero power-play time
- Mostly plays in with bottom-sixers
<strong>And realized that the consensus on this website means nothing. </strong>
