First, can they trade Kerfoot? Sure they can, easily. Can they get value back? No. Theres few teams with the cap space, and those that do have it probably dont want a UFA and wont give up quality.
PHI for example has the cap space and Couterier is injured, so theres a small need for a good forward. But theyre rebuilding, so why would they want a UFA? (Unless he can produce on a worse team and stay healthy to the deadline = and even then theyll want to acquire more than they dealt for him). So yes, Kerfoot could be traded easily, but theres little return coming back. (Think Zack MacEwen and EDM 4th from PHI at most).
Secondly, why do Leaf fans have a fixation on more scoring forwards? On a team that lacks size, physicality/On a team that has a pretty old defense/On a team that has questionable goaltending/BUT most importantly, on a team with a system that scores tons ------- why do they need a scoring forward?
