That's the point. I know Kerfoot doesnt bring anything else to the table, just like Bura. You can't look at those two players' stats at the end of the year and conclude that they are good.
Burakovsky is essentially a taller Kerfoot with a better shot. Lets hope someone else will inherit the 14M contract this time again.
Ehhhh I can actually kinda see your point but I think you're glossing over some stuff for the sake of argument. Both players are very good at getting the puck out of danger and into the attacking zone but I'd argue Burakovsky is still more of a defensive liability.
Kevin Fiala is whom I'd compare Burakovsky to. Very talented, very nice underlying numbers, but the production isn't there. Fortunately for the Wylde (and a little too late for Paul Fenton) it appears Fiala has finally figured out how to play this season. I don't have as much hope for Burakovsky.
But I agree. Burakovsky looks like a perpetual project, he's likely not worth a long-term (or even short-term) investment.
