Trade for Palmieri

TOR shouldn't trade away any center. Unless they're getting an upgrade of course

Palmeiri isn't an upgrade that much at wing. And exchanging Thornton at centre for Kerfoot is a downgrade. So what if Kerfoot is a cap causality, giving away draft picks unnecessarily isn't wise.

TOR don't really need more wings.

Palmieri is a clear and significant upgrade by pretty much any measure. Agree that the big question mark is how Thornton (or whoever you want to put there) would manage at 3C, but Kerfoot has been pretty ordinary. It's also hard to imagine a significant move at the deadline that doesn't involve moving Kerfoot to make cap space. Regardless of it's Palmieri as the trade target, the Leafs would be foolish not to make a push at the deadline. The cap crunch is only going to get worse with Hyman, Andersen, and Rielly all coming up for contracts soon, and Tavares isn't getting any younger.

LOL they might not need more but they definitely could use better. They only have 3 wingers that have any business in a top 6.
