Confirmed with Link: Leafs go 4-4-1 in expansion, Dermott, Kerfoot, McCann, exposed

Biggest Question/Criticism:

If Kerfoot gets selected in the expansion draft, what's left from the Kadri trade? Calle Rosen?

$4.5m in capspace to spend on better players.

 

[LaPlante94]

It’s strange that the argument is

“Holl plays really well with Muzzin but sucks without him”

They are acknowleding Holls value in a pairing with Muzzin with a caveat that doesn’t matter because he will remain paired with Muzzin

Well, considering that Muzzin is better without him then he is with him I'd say the argument is pretty valid.

 

[justashadowof]

None of these alternatives to Holl listed seem to have 2 years left on their contracts.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

If your assessment is shared by Seattle front staff, then they would not take Kerfoot in the first place. Especially given that there are several solid 2/3rd line centres that went unprotected.

So then they would have taken Dermott. So then who would you rather hang onto - Dermott or Hallander+7th?

Dermott was a healthy scratch at points last year and the leafs played him in a way that showed pretty much no trust in him.

For Seattle it would have largely have been a "pick your poison" between Dermott and Kerfoot.

Good thing Dubas made the decision very easy for them. They'll take McCann in a heartbeat.

I don't understand any of this at all.

Last two years:

Muzzin W/ Holl: 56.7gf%, 57.2xgf%
Muzzin w/o Holl: 53.2gf%, 51.4xgf%

Much better with Holl than without.

An even better case to FIRE DUBAS.

 

[rumman]

Whoever Seattle picks, I bet Seattle's team will be better than ours anyways.

Looking at who they have to choose from, they should field a surprisingly good team. They’ll have better goaltender than the Leafs that’s a guarantee.

I agree with you on this one. I think Holl is very underrated around here.

Not a fan of Campbell? I know he's not fully "tested" yet, but I have high hopes based on last years performance.

 

[TMLAM34]

What do you guys think would take for Dubas to acquire Nicolas Roy from Vegas? They just acquired Nolan Patrick who can slot in at the center position over Roy and with Kerfoot most likely being selected that leaves our 3C with a big hole.

Does Dermott for Roy make the deal happen?

TJ Brodie

 

[GobigorGohome]

Where is Mkeyev

 

[BertCorbeau]

Definitely some strange hot takes in here considering we’ve pretty much known all year that a combination of Holl, Kerfoot, and/or Dermott would be exposed.

Exempt

I like him, but a career back up goalie with a history of injuries concerns me, as it should Leaf Nation.

That’s just simply not true. Together they are one of the better shutdown pairings in the league.

I like Roy, get Gauthier from the Rangers while your at it.

Roy would bring some size down the middle for us.

With Kerfoot most likely gone, McGinn would be a nice local boy to sign in free agency. He was definitely overpaid on his previous contract (2.1) but if he’s willing sign with a little hometown discount for 1.5 million that would be nice.

Third line of: McGinn - Roy - Mikheyev

 

[jaric1862]

Always knew it would be Holl protected and not Dermott, I still don't understand why that was a conversation. In relation to the Leafs exposing McCann and Kerfoot, the leafs are going to have one of them as their 3rd line center next year, regardless of whoever Seattle takes.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Amazes me how attached people are to players on a team that's won nothing .

A lot of fans are confused why we traded for McCann only to expose him in order to prevent losing Kerfoot/Dermott. I still can't make sense of it.

 

[IPS]

Exactly how good Hedman is is a very interesting debate.

Maybe Justin Holl is better than Hedman defensively.

McCann will be in our top six.

Well, I'm in shock.

Tell me how it's not true.

The season already started? How did I miss this?
