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.

I'm almost leaning towards it being Engvall now. He's cheaper and probably easier to trade, but still enough to fit in a 21 man roster. But a Kerfoot trade probably makes the most sense.

I don't think its "more than anything", literally just picked a random team.
"More than anything", I'm wondering how the Leafs are going to get cap compliant.

It happens all the time.
Its not a rental. Its a full year.
They can flip him at the deadline for more, there is value in having a player like that in a young inexperienced lineup.

I would say by gong by cap logic.....yeah Kerfoot is the guy to go.....unfortunately
