I would like to see the Jets make this trade. As much as I like Copp the Jets have him and Lowry playing the same type of game so they can take a chance on a soft defensively weak and mistake pron player like Kerfoot. Hopefully Kerfoot could learn how to play a more physical and intense game when playing for a coach like Maurice and with true leaders who play a complete game like Wheeler, Scheifele and Connor. I know posters on both sides may not agree with me but that's the fun of this site.

No from Winnipeg. Kerfoot costs too much and doesn't fill any need for the Jets.

I wouldn't agree with you there Islandjet. Copp and Lowry are two thirds of one of the top shut down lines in the league. Kerfoot is a not good at anything player, that is overpaid for another 3 years and has an NTC in his last year. He could be had for a lot less than a good player if you want to take a shot at him. I would think a 4th or C/ D prospect is enough for Kerfoot. If not, oh well, I guess we miss out.

a 4th for Kerfoot? Good jesus, lmfao.

Before Leaf fans freak out, I'm not saying Kerfoot is a bad player. He's "okay" at lots of things, just not "good" at any.

Kerfoot is a decent 3rd line center, he's good for about 40 points a year, and I think comparably to other 3C's out there he's not overpaid.

But even if Kerfoot is on the trade block he's not a fit on the Winnipeg Jets. Their bottom 6 already has good line chemistry. I don't follow their team enough to know but I thought they are more so in in the market for a top 6 Center or top 4 RHD?

That would be correct LilTuzziBert.

You can tell mebiasedjoe and islandjerk don't know much about hockey or they would know Kerfoot is actually a pretty good defensive player. I don't watch much Leafs games, but I know how to read a stats sheet, and the numbers reveal a very different story than what you guys are saying.

Kerfoot this year has >50% d-zone starts, 52.1 cf%, xgf 34.5 vs xga 31.64. those are good, not great, defensive stats.

By comparison Copp has 51.79 cf%, xgf 29.46 vs xga 34.58. and Lowry has 46.35 cf%, xgf 16.42 vs xga 23.7.

So not only did Kerfoot had the highest cf% he was also the only one that had a positive difference xgf-xga. So not only is Kerfoot a decent defensive player, he's actually a better one than either Lowry or Copp.

Kerfoot while not physical is not defensively weak advanced stats show he is one of the leafs/ Colorado’s defensive contributors. Arguably defensive positioning is one of his top traits.

So, it seems like Kerfoot is doing well with the Leafs Vbbb and is playing as would be expected. Why are so many Leaf fans, not necessarily you, trying to dump him? Why not just hang onto him? It seems to me that would be the better course of action.

Probably because they need a to shed abit of cap and add a physical presence.

First post after a few months away from here and it’s an absolute classic. The biased comments do not disappoint. Thank you.
