<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>moli92</b></div><div>How is it cheaper than Tatar? Saad only got 4.5 and had a better season. I bet Tatar comes in around the same AAV if not lower. Maybe it takes more term but that's fine if it gets a better player for cheaper. Plus I don't think Kerfoot is someone we want on the 2nd line anyway - neither Compher or Kerfoot is an ideal solution there so I don't think it's worth taking on the extra cap hit</div></div>

Middle 6 Tatar at ~4.5 + bottom 6 JTC at 3.5 = ~8
Middle 6 Kerf at 3.5 + 1.5 retained + bottom 6 ELC = ~ 6

I agree, neither Kerfoot nor JTC would be ideal in the top 6 if Newhook can’t hack it or when there’s an injury. But I think Compher has proven he’s definitely NOT that guy the last two years, whereas Kerfoot’s playmaking skill set MIGHT fit nicely next to Kadri and Burakovsky. And the Avs get some draft capital.

But I’ll admit, I’m probably a bit in “grass is greener on the other side” mentality here.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Based on what? Compher literally had the worst year of his career last year, yet over the last 2yrs they have almost identical offensive production. Compher’s xGA, and xGD are significantly better, and on top of that the Avs get railed for being soft and let’s just say Kerfoot isn’t winning any physicality contests between the two. But most importantly the Avs have been here before and chose Compher over Kerfoot they aren’t changing their minds now and they sure as heck aren’t retaining salary in any trade as you clearly saw in the Kuemper trade.</div></div>

I can’t find any good xG stats not behind a paywall to verify, but Kerfoot has produced at a slightly higher rate over their careers. Maybe I’m just looking to make a creative change and would like to see how Kerfoot’s playmaking would do on the Avs who are pretty devoid of playmakers outside their top line. The Avs chose Compher two years ago and he hasn’t lived up to the contract they gave him, so with their roster in a different place, I think Kerfoot might be a better fit. I’ll admit, though, that I thought Kerfoot has been producing better with the Leafs than he actually has been.
