Quoting: GiggywithGibby
Robertson is very polarizing for Anaheim, I would personally take that deal at the TDL as stated, some of the other Anaheim brain trust think Robertson is a bust. I am high on him though.
There is also the possibility that Anaheim would be willing to do a cap in/cap out as part of the deal with Henrique. I could see us taking Kerfoot back the other way, assuming we are not on his NTC. Mind you, I view Kerfoot as nothing but a cap casualty and having no positive value in of himself, but it opens up the possibility of getting a more expensive upgrade elsewhere on the roster. The deal would have to be adjusted to balance at that point.
Certainly would be opposed to moving Kerfoot in such a package.
Not sure I would go so far as to call him a "cap casualty" at this juncture. The Muzzin situation (I strongly feel he won't be back given some offseason comments) has cleared that issue up.
I recognize Henrique's offensive game is both better and more consistent than Kerfoot's, but defensively they are very much a wash.
A Kerfoot inclusion for Anahiem gives them another movable asset in such deal (seeing a 2nd rounder or early 3rd).
For the Leafs, non retention is more an issue next year, so not sure this would be of any assistance to Dubas.
Stranger things have happened.
