That drop pass in the playoffs is burned in memory every time he touches the puck.
Kerfoot is killing me...

F*ck cancer - RIP Fugu and Buffaloed
Last year he was bad in the playoffs, but was surprisingly strong in the first two years with the team.
That being said I think I would be better on the face-off than him, and he brings more of the same elements as the core does but just not as good. He's best suited as a winger.
So while I have nothing against him as a player, his fit on the team just isn't there.
I'd like an upgrade.

Did you know that Kerfoot is better than Kadri?
The guy somehow threw up 51 points last year yet Dubas still kept him instead of maximizing value. God did that piss me off. For all the BS about "asset management" that gets spouted they sure don't seem to practice it much.

Backcheck, Forecheck, Paycheque.
If we're lucky he'll go the way of Galchenyuk and Dermott after they f***ed us in the playoffs, gone before the end of the next season.
Dude has lit assets on fire.
It's a joke at this point. We paid a third for big save Dave
Luckily he's out of contract this year

if they have to buy him out with say 2 years to go in his contract, the cap penalty is just a bit over 200k for two years. They likely gave him the term so he'd sign, but can get rid of him at the drop of a hat if need be.
In the meantime he's on pace for 20 goals

Honestly, at least he f***ing tries. Many reasons he's not a fit on the team but I appreciate his effort.
The leafs coach the stupid drop pass.. Galchenyuk, Kerfoot and Marner all have made brutal turnovers in the playoffs. Leafs put all their offense into the top 6...look at statistics under keefe. Generally year after year the bottom 6 produce the amount of points Kerfoot is pacing.
Kerfoot is one of the very few leaf players in the playoffs who compete hard and show grit. He was very good vs Montreal. He's not the problem.

Yeah I would tend to agree with this. Anyway, I'm not really too worried about Kerfoot, he was good in the playoffs, hopefully he will be again and that's what really matters.
I really just came to say LOL at the thread title.

He also had the series on his stick several times in the last two game 6s but couldn't score. He is not THE problem, but he is certainly part of the overall scoring issue in the playoffs. Dude has zero finish.
He's been absolutely brutal since the covid shortened temporary division realignment year. I don't know how Sheldon doesn't see it.

Kerfoot is a very unique player for possessing a lot of really excellent traits but somehow the whole is way less than the sum of its parts.
Great skater, agile edgework, underrated speed. Handles a puck like a dream practice player in open ice transition. Can make crafty area plays, excellent active stick, can be greasy in traffic when he wants to be and will play feistier than his size. Not a high vision guy but heads up. Not a good arsenal of shots and finishing ability. But you put it all together and it often just... sucks.

Hilarious people say he isn't made for the playoffs yet has as good of production as anyone on our team over his career here.
Last year he was really good IMO. He's fallen off a cliff this season. Horrid, no finish, stone hands. Would love to move him at the TDL

The worst part of this is he has gained the line!Kerfoot is one of the softest players in the league. I’m worried about him going up against Tampa again. He’s going to do something stupid again.

Pretty good explanation. It seems to me that when Kerfoot skates north, he somehow forgets around mid ice why he was skating so hard and detours somewhere away from the net.

Exactly, he just doesn't fit the current composition of the club. For a team as cap strapped as us, his 3.5 can be better used to add dimensions we lack

I think part of keeping Kerfoot has to do with Dubas trying to save some face from the Kadri trade. I'm a fan of Dubas but trading Kadri for what he did is his major blemish. Acquired a d-man with the same skills as his best d-man, and acquired a forward that is vanilla af.
The problem with the bottom 6 is that they have no identity. They're not a shutdown line that you can matchup against top lines, they don't play physical at all either. They're just there to kill time on the clock and pray they don't get scored on. The weird thing is the Leafs do have the depth pieces to make those kind of lines (moreso shutdown than physical) but they never play those combinations long enough.
Holmberg-Kampf-Engvall has the potential to be a terrific shutdown 4th line that you can throw at other team's top 6 but they never do it for long enough. Hard to build chemistry...
