That is cool. I was a bit confused. He is a good player. I was responding to the person who wanted to give our first and top prospect for him.

Not to mention I hope that Kerfoot stays a Leaf for the rest of his career.
The fact that Leafs nation seems to simultaneously love him yet put him in EVERY trade proposal never fails to make me smile.

I can’t speak for those who want to move him for draft picks just to “clear cap” there are lots of leaf fans with lots of opinions. Most see the value he brings, especially come playoff time and the chemistry he’s found with one of our better players in Nylander. He’s versatile and pretty much plug and play, but he’s also the only real middle salary guy on the team where you can conceivably get better “value” cap wise, so when the next round of salary increases (next offseason for Campbell & Rielly) or to provide cap ballast for an upgrade (Forsberg Hertl Etc) he definitely needs to be included.
you can like the player and still see the big picture cap wise.

There is a reason for that. He is a great utility player who makes too much for a team with cap issues.

After this season, Kadri will want/get a 5.5M-6M contract. Ugh.
He is a good 3C who can score 20g and 50pts, but with his being a playoff head-case, and the money he'll cost next year........no thanks.

Wat tooooooo much for Kadri (and I liked him) for him to be attractive Colorado would have to retain some salary, even then your proposal would need a severe hair cut.

I want him for the Habs. Since it's the Habs, it "should" cost Romanov, Suzuki and CC.....
.....that or a late 2nd.
He was a huge Habs fan and I don't mind him backing up the young centers for another 3-4 years. I think the headache thing is overblown, but yes, he's got a burr in his saddle.
He's not going to get a 5x5 in this day and age. More like 4x4 to close his career and that's good value for the first 2 years...and mehh for the second 2..

If I had a dollar each time Kerfoot was mentioned in a trade, I could buy the Habs...and Leafs.

Kadri is more skilled and brings more grit. But Strome already has chemistry with Panarin regardless of how much skill Strome has. He's also one of the most liked players in the room by teammates. Both being UFA, I'd stay with Strome.

4x4 isn't good value. It's fantastic value if you think he's back to putting up 50 points.I want him for the Habs. Since it's the Habs, it "should" cost Romanov, Suzuki and CC.....

He's never coming back to the Leafs. He had multiple issues with Management, called out publicly for a lack of maturity, and internal suspension. They don't want him for free.

He's going to be 32-33 by the time the 4x4 kicks in and to be honest, I don't care about him being a 50+ point 2C. I care that Dv and Suzuki are 60-80 point center and he's a solid 200ft 3C that can chip 30-40 points. Can also step up if the other 2 get hurt.
Evans concerns me. He may be one hit away from a career ender and not exactly a offensive threat plus if Poehling isn't in the NHL this year, he will never be.
With K and Dv/Suzuki, I'm good on our center situation.
There is no avenue for trading Kadri. Newhook isn’t a 2C (yet) and trading Kadri won’t get a 2C upgrade in return. Makes no sense.
Also Kadri is 31, coming off a down year and is a pending ufa. His value will take a hit.

Kadri is a talented player that makes a lot of stupid decisions. He's 31 already, he is who is.
IF Col can accept Kadri for the player he is (the good and the bad) keep him if not move on from him.
I do miss sometimes as a Toronto fan though. Seems like no one won that deal
