Not a fan of the retention and the 2nd pick bein traded Eh?
Kerfoot will help Buffalo more than he helps Toronto.
N Eakin solidifies the Leafs 3rd line C on cheap meanwhile, Kerfoot makes Buffalo better overall.
Heck he could legit be their 2nd Line Center if Eichel remains N decides... For some reason? To play...
I have sympathy and pity for Buffalo.
Yeah, Kerfoot might be the 2C on Buffalo of Eichel is traded
But that’s not saying much
And while he is a better player (i think?) than Eakin….
I don’t want his “help” for a couple reasons:
1- i don’t see him playing a role in the future for us
2- we aren’t trying to be good this year…. tank on
3- since we obviously (imo) are gonna stink, I’m not trading a high 2nd in a loaded draft for an ok 3rd line talent that’s not gonna be here long term
It’s just not a trade that makes sense for where we are at,
which is starting a new rebuild (ugh)
