We should be so lucky. Kerplunk and Holl extended. Trade away someone useful instead.
Kerfoot is killing me...

Watching Alex Kerfoot play hockey boils my blood. If he’s in the lineup over Knies come playoff time, I’m going to snap.
Whatever the expectations are of Knies, he has to be a better option than 5’10” 180lbs 1 goal in 34 games Alex Kerfoot. Quite literally the only player over the last 7 years to not produce while playing alongside Matthews & Marner. Absolute garbage.

Still can't wrap my head around this guy still being on the team after the deadline. Seemed like such an obvious move since were changing the complexion of the forward group anyway with ROR, Lafferty and Aciari. 7 goals in 70 games when he regularly gets shots with the top-6 is hilariously bad.
Why the actual f*** did we not sell high on this guy after last year. Unbelievable he actually managed 51 points, did management think he was going to replicate it or something? I swear it's because Dubas needs to keep something from the Kadri trade.

Alex Kerfoot takes too much grief here, he's not a terrible player. It's the contract and an all time low 6.4% shooting avg. this year, compared to his 12.2% career avg. that is killing him.
He's a complimentary, jack of all trades master of none, useful forward.

If I were in charge, I would have moved him at the deadline. If that couldn’t be done, I’d literally waive him for nothing and send him to the AHL assuming nobody claimed him.
I’d also only keep Holl around as a black ace for playoffs. All his minutes would be given to Lilly to develop him and also because he’s a better player.
Holl and Kerfoot both desperately need to go. I think they can have some success elsewhere as depth players but there’s a logjam on the blue line Holl doesn’t deserve to be on and there’s better forwards than kerfoot who is horrible to watch.

He has 1 goal in his last game, a goal per game pace, that's 82 goals in 82 games...
I have posted this exact sentiment multiple times!
Kerfoot is super underrated... he does a lot of good things and will likely be 3LW or 4LW come playoff time.
I am really happy with that as a fan, he may not be flashy, but he is fast, pressures well, is good defensively, and adds a little bit of offense.
We can either spread out the talent and Kerfoot can play somewhere as a complimentary player in the top 9 or stack the top 6 and have Kerfoot playing with other defensive players who can occasionally chip in.

Hopefully once the playoffs start Kerfoot is buried on the fourth line.

Though ultimately I suspect regardless of whom they kept both would be out the door by the summer in order to free up capspace to potentially re sign some of the tdl acquisitions

Does anyone agree with that?
I wouldn't have cared if they had moved both but if you had to pick one to keep it's Kerfoot all day.
For all his warts at least he plays with a pulse.

Agreed. I'd take Kerf over Engvall 10 times out of 10. I'm glad that's how things ended up.
Both should have been moved and the 6m combined could have been used on a proper top LW.

You are living in a fantasy land if you think a rookie out of the NCAA can step into the league in April and be better than Kerfoot.

I'm sure Dubas had discussions but didn't like the offers. Better to keep him and ride out the string rather then be a forward short.
Kerfoot is at least a veteran player who is versatile and defensively responsible. I would have liked to have seen him replaced but at least Engvall found a new home and getting a First for Sandin was excellent.
Here is the one caveat, if he can find his touch and be the Kerfoot of last year it is akin to a trade.dealine pick up because he has been quiet all season.
