A buyout is more favorable as this is negative value return. Pass

Here's a bold prediction. Leafs keep Kerfoot who has been one of their most consistent and versatile players night in night out.

Trading four NHL regulars for two doesn't seem wise for team who consider themselves contenders. Making the Leafs weaker at centre and defence wit those trades.

Yeah, the Leafs dont want kane

Nope, the Leafs do

The problem with these is that the Leafs need 2 large Defensive D who can clear the front of the net and can be the NHL equivalent of a fullback. They need to be big, fast, a good passer and crush guys. Not crush guys by the NHL definition of a hit but hit meaning take guys out of the play. Scoring and offence isn't the issue. Muzzin isn't able to be the defensive shutdown he has been and Holl isn't able to be the all around defensive D. He can be a great part of a shutdown line, don't get me wrong. He can't be the partner of an offensive D and that's what we need. We need 2 guys who can shut down the middle while Reilly and Brodie do offensive D things. That's the problem.
