Quoting: Hockeytor15
Lets take a look at some stats since you don't understand
Goals scored :
Toronto: 199 tied for first
powerplay goals
Toronto:8
I think that speaks for itself
I understand perfectly fine thank you.
The forward core is the strength of the team. Anything you have posted completely and utterly ****izes that process, whereby you have 2 great lines and another 2 that would be eaten alive because the top 2 would be and could be defended much better. In short, you actually need 3 lines that can produce offense.
The Leafs, if they move Kerfoot to the wing, lack a legit 3rd line centre at this time (Brooks maybe is a year or two out, Der-Arguchintsev is further). Granted Spezza has been good, but this IS NOT the guy I would bank on playing 3rd line nightly. Point is, a move from the wings is going force Kerfoot to the wing (where most Avs fans say he is better) necessitating a further move to addess the the hole left on the 3rd line.
To further prove this point, the Leafs last year move Kadri (wait for this)..... for a Barrie and a 3rd line centre! So exactly how far off base can my thinking be when such a move is possible? Or, since you freely admit "Dubas isn't stupid", he would make it a point to acquire a 3rd line centre in that deal?
Don't have to like Zacha. But I certainly would be looking for a 3rd line centre not named Spezza.
