marner, 3 firsts to start

the way Eichel looks disinterested and the way Marner has been all over the ice, you'd have to convince me to do it 1 for 1.

marner, sandin, kerfoot, 2 firsts and you have a deal

no thanks. I'll keep Marner

ok replace marner with nylander and matthews

replace eichel with Dahlin + Hall + Eichel + Olofsson

leafs roster for sabres

I never said it was a recipe for success, I was merely pointing out that Ottawa has found a lot of good / great players in later rounds. Ottawa could do much better with that roster spot and cap room. To be very blunt, I don't like Kerfoot. He doesn't have the talent to play top 6 and he doesn't fit into our bottom 6 well at all. He's not hard to play against; he doesn't even forecheck. And your comment on Batherson and Norris is just wrong. Norris is bigger, faster, has better possession stats, way better face-off stats (while taking draws as a 1st line pivot) and his .52 p/gp is better than Kerfoot's. And he's 5 years YOUNGER than Kerfoot, and currently 2nd in rookie scoring. BATHERSON has a better p/gp right now than Kerfoot has ever had. He's 22.
