sooooo Is Kerf getting traded

Other than LTIR magic, I don't see how the Leafs are gonna do this without moving Kerf.

Anybody care to hypothesize?

I think it's going to cost Toronto a pick or prospect to move him. The teams with cap space have no need for a rental player and the teams that might be interested don't have any cap space either.

I guess we'll see.
I can totally see a team with cap space buying low on someone they could flip at the deadline.
Kerfoot is also the exact kind of player you'd want around a rebuilding team with young players. He is a relentless worker.

Leafs might end up keeping him if the Leafs can pull some LTIR magic.

Maybe if he was on waivers a rebuilding team would pick him up, but I can't see why a rebuilding team would give up anything for a pending UFA.

More than anything, why does M NTC Kerfoot have Arizona on his trade list in his UFA contract year. No way he agrees to go to poor team with cap.
