"that's BS, they are useful NHLer's - especially on rebuilding teams."
Why would <strong>rebuilding</strong> teams want to trade <strong>rebuilding </strong>assets for guys that are going to UFA? Where's the logic in that?
That makes zero sense, whatsoever.

Gonna need a substantial bit more than that for Barbashev.
Also, it's not that players like Kerfoot and Holl are bad NHLers. It's that most teams that are in the hunt or potential buyers don't have the cap space to add players like that and no team that is in a rebuild or selling assets is going to turn around and trade decent picks for guys who are expiring when they aren't in contention to win this season.
The Arizona trade for Chychrun may be the only one that's remotely close to the value although i'd bet that Arizona would picks that aren't a year or two out as the main pieces.

One Last Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mvp13</b></div><div>Kerfoot still has value, I don't understand why people act like he's a cap dump. There's definitely a nice place for him in the middle 6, and he plays the PK. That said, I do think TOR would have to add at least something given contract situations of both players involved. It's incredibly unlikely that he would re-sign. I also think CGY is probably better off offloading a d-man for an even better player. Still, I can see them being trade partners here.</div></div>
I agree, Kerfoot isn’t a Cap Dump, but his Cap Hit makes him extremely less attractive for a Contending Team near the Cap to take him on
Teams with Cap Space want to be compensated for taking Big Cap Hits on, otherwise would prefer to keep a roster spot open to develop one of their prospects as opposed to letting someone they very likely won’t keep or re-sign once the season is over fill it

Thread:
What is Kane worth part 2
I think it needs to be more for Kane with full retention - this package isn't really that sexy. Anderson is AHL depth at this point in his career, and Simmonds is a 4th liner, so neither of them brings any sort of value to this trade package. Kerfoot is a pending UFA who's too old for Chicago's rebuild, so you're basically giving them a scratch off ticket that could land anywhere from "traded for a 2nd rounder" to "blew out his knee in the 11th game and we let him walk in July for nothing" - in other words, there's some value there but since you're making them do the legwork, it's going to be a diluted value.
Niemala & a 1st is a good place to start, with that 3rd assumedly being kicked in to cover retention. I think you'd have to make it the 2023 1st, and I think you still need to add another prospect. Patty Kane put up 92 points last year spending the majority of his time on lines centered by Dylan Strome & Kirby Dach - I think he could push 120 playing with Matthews or Tavares, and Kyle Dubas shouldn't be afraid to pay up for that value.
As far as the other trades?
-Muzzin would probably block a trade to NJD, and as said above, there's no room on their depth chart to take on a pair of Dmen right now. Holl isn't better than Hamilton/Severson/Marino, and he walks at the end of the year, so there's zero sense behind Jersey trading for him; Muzzin could possibly step in at LD2 next year if Ryan Graves walks, but the Devs also have a barrel full of LD prospects they could slide up into that role too. Not to mention that I can't see Jersey just willingly taking on $6M in cap - cap you need to clear to afford Patrick Kane - and sending back assets for it. The best you could hope for in this situation is getting back FC for that pair.
-Toronto acquired Kyle Clifford last November from the Blues in exchange for Future Considerations. Since then, he played 23 regular season games, with a 1-2-3 scoring line and 31 PIMs; he then was on the ice for less than a minute of the Leafs' first playoff game before getting ejected & then suspended, and didn't appear again in that series. Why is he now worth a 4th rounder?

If a kerfoot trade is made
It isn't that Kerfoot is a cap dump[ due to his play, it's the difficulty for a team (on his trade list) that can take on his full cap hit for the year,
Funny, players like Kerfoot trade value is a lot more at TDL than it is in October.

starting lineup
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafsFan1996</b></div><div>"leaf blinders", I'm trading a 50 pt winger with a $750k salary for a 4th. Anaheim could easily flip him for more at the deadline, or if they surprise they can keep him for the playoffs, Anaheim has leverage and this would be a win-win regardless of how they play this year.
The only thing you could be right about is him having Anaheim on his 10 team NTC (or any other team willing to offer this).
a) we don't know that, it is likely he'd have a non-playoff team on the NTC but who actually knows, players have different considerations when filling out an NTC (family, actually city, the country)
b) players might only have say 5 teams they actually don't want to go to, but they have to have a list of 10 as per their contract, so he can waive
c) players with NTC's get moved. Bjorkstrand got moved to Seattle and they are bad, by your logic shouldn't Seattle have been on his NTC
d) even if you're right and Kerfoot won't go to any rebuilding team, Minny has over 5 mill in space. Wouldn't they want a versatile middle 6 player for a 4th
Kerfoot barely makes any real money and can play centre, which makes him more attractive than other middle 6 wingers.
It is more likely in my mind that a team this would happen rather than NO TEAM be willing pay a 4th for him (and kerfoot accepting should they be o his NTC)
If I did an AGM as Dallas and trade Gurianov for a 4th literally wouldn't be an issue. But because it's the leafs people have to twist themselves into a pretzel to this trading a middle 6 winger with league min salary and a 10 team NTC for a 4th is impossible. The leafs traded Zaitsev, Clarkson and Phaneuf. But yes, this can't happen</div></div>
Simple fact of the matter is we don't want Kerfoot, we have youth to develop at the positions he can play, and our lineup is already set, so it's an extreme inconvenience to take him. For whatever positive value Kerfoot could provide for a year, the value of his cap space, and the delaying a year of development for one of our youth is significantly higher.
So, in order for us to take a player we have no interest in, and knowing it solves the leafs cap problems, leafs need to pay us to take him. That is Anaheim's position.
If you wanted any value for him, he needed to be traded earlier in the summer while more teams had cap space and may have been in the market for him. Now the market for kerfoot is ice cold. He comes with draft picks or you can pawn him elsewhere, you guys dug this hole, and no one is interested in helping you out of it.

I still think that really doesn't help the Leafs cap. 1.75m retained and a 750,000 replacement cost the 2.5m in cap which would save the Leafs 1m (and get third.)
Gotta think the Leafs need 3.5m Kerfoot gone, and 750,000 replacement which saves 2.75m in cap .
Your offer is fair but just don't think it gets the Leafs to where the Leafs need to be for cap reasons.

He's got a 10-team NTC that probably includes many, if not all, of the "budget teams".

That value exists when teams are below the cap floor and need to add AAV to their roster to reach it. The moment every team hits the floor the value added by such a contract disappears and you are left with the value of the actual player.
Kerfoot has value as a player, but not to Anaheim. A team that more or less does not want to get (much) better this season. They aren't making the playoffs and Kerfoot takes ice time away from a younger player and gets the Ducks a worse draft position. That's a lose-lose for Anaheim.
He needs to be traded to a playoff team but none of them have the cap space. Honestly, from an outsiders perspective Kerfoot is the exact type of depth player that the Leafs need to finally push into the 2nd round. I'm baffled by why Leafs fans want to trade him so badly.

Room for the deadline
I'll tell you what Anaheim will do. Well give you Terry and the Col 23 2nd we've got laying around for Nylander.
That will give you 5.5 mil in cap space to bank over the season to go get Kaner without a third party retention.
Furthermore, Terry is already experienced at playing with an old, slow center in decline, so he would be a perfect match for Tavares. Hell, he probably puts up more points than last year since Tavares is a marked improvement on Getzlaf's skating.

Trust me, I know exactly what you mean. I survived the Nylander for Pesce era. But that doesn't mean that this is even feasable. For a Montreal standpoint, something like Sandin may be enough to tempt Hughes to move Evans. It's tough to say for certain, but either way, this is more ridiculous. Holl holds no value and a 3rd does nothing. But Knies is probably more in the other extreme

I see the logic behind the deal, but I don't like it for the Leafs as it weakens the 2nd line considerably..... Roberston is unproven and playing Jarnkrök in the top 6 makes me luke warm.
Sure, Dumba is a massive upgrade on the back end for sure, but I think this exposes the first line to playing much tougher competition on a regular basis, leading to decreased production there as well.
Just don't see this one as a case of addition by subtraction.

I believe if anyone wanted holl for free, the leafs wouldn’t have hesitated and took the first chance they got to get rid of him. Kerfoot on the other hand had a great season, but his value isn’t there bc the leafs are cap strapped bc nobody wants to help them out. I believe those two are worth those picks, probably more for kerfoot, but in a flat cap world and in the leafs situation, their value has dropped astronomically. Dubas NEEDS to clear cap and it’s getting close to the season. He would’ve taken anything for holl imo. But the opportunity hasn’t been there. Also I doubt dubas wants to sell low on kerfoot bc he had a great season. Their value is their value bc of the flat cap and bc nobody is gonna voluntarily help the leafs

And if you were paying attention to the actual conversation about Kane, the issue presented was the extension that the OP literally has written in the explanation. So that's what im refering to. And you clearly dont understand aging curves if you think signing a 35 year old to a 7x5 contract is a good idea just because he 'hasent shown signs of slowing down" despite his rate numbers starting to dip and the fact that he needed 82% offensive zone starts to put up the numbers last year.</div></div>
LMAO but they aren't excuses, they are the facts, but of course you want to talk about a bunch echo chamber assumptions that aren't supported by any facts because the sensationalism is more fun! Hysterical
Kane isn't falling off a cliff. He's always had a ton of offense zone starts, usually in the 70s so not shocking the way a new coach played him a new system. You play to a players strength and his is obviously all offense. There's no signs he's slowing down right now, if you watch him regularly you will see that but you clearly don't. Players like Kane, who are slippery and not taking much physical abuse, are not falling off a cliff. Will there be decline...of course, but it will more then likely be a gradual decline.

As far as declines go, they are called cliffs for a reason. It doesn't matter if its kane, crosby, or Gretzkey a contract for 1st liner money that goes until 40 with a tight cap is a terrible idea</div></div>
Dead center of two of the worst NHL controversies? He was a 21 year old kid if you're referring to the KB incident with a player that never played on the hawks team. KB's own Rockford roommate and good friend said he knew nothing about what happened so why would Kane? Get out of the echo chamber...it's a poor unintelligent look.
His entire career off the ice has been a controversy? What??? You mean the cab driver incident 12 years ago? Okay fair enough like Matthews when he was out with friends on a drunk night.
I suppose you are also referring to the rape setup where the Buffalo police found the mother of the supposed victim planting evidence and quickly dropped the case...LOL OK...you're reaching again.
So there's one cab incident when he was a kid, what else are you referring to when you say "his entire career"? Kane is pretty quiet both on and off the ice and has been for years since the cab incident in Buffalo.
None of this matters like I said, Kane isn't signing long term in Toronto. Maybe he's waive as a TDL rental, but he's not moving to Canada long term. Regardless, he's not going to fall off a cliff, he will slowly start declining. You clearly don't understand the way he plays to suggest he will suddenly fall off a cliff.
