<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GiggywithGibby</b></div><div>I'm admittedly confused, Kerfoot had a career year and 51 points, in January he was top three on the team in 5v5 goals. What did he do to piss off Leaf fans so badly that 1/4 of all leafs AGM's I see trying to offload Kerfoot on Anaheim.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>It's purely a mathematical thing, because trading him is the one move that makes them cap-compliant (as trading Justing Holl, for example, doesn't). It's just like trading Jake Muzzin, who's worth a lot more to them than he is to any of the teams that can afford his cap hit, yet most Leafs fans don't fully understand it -- either they think that he won't be missed, or else they think that the non-contender team taking him on should pay a high price for him because he should be as valuable to the also-ran as he is to the Leafs.</div></div>

He's a player with value to anybody league-wide but is too good to be on the 3rd line and too expensive to keep considering the other moves the Leafs have to make.

It really looks like they're going to have to move someone, and I think Holl won't be a Leaf, and perhaps Sandin, too. The only other move/combo of moves left is Holl and Engvall, but I really doubt they signed Engvall to move him, and then they are still allowing Kerfoot to walk at the end of the season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>I agree completely with your analysis. Many of your Maple Leaf colleagues simply look at that cap hit and think that all of Toronto's problems will be solved if it's disappeared. I've said in many posts that I think that trading Muzzin would be a mistake because you have no one to replace him internally and I don't think that either Sandin or Giordano can do so for the whole season and then the playoffs, and what's left on the free agent market sure isn't appealing. (DeHaan? DeKeyser? Naaah.)</div></div>

Some logic here, which is nice!

I doubt the Leafs do anything about Muzzin at all. I think that Sandin could stand as a 2nd pairing guy, but $5.625M in cap space isn't super useful when you have to spend assets to replace it. If someone wanted Muzzin and was offering value back, I could see it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>Toronto needs to shed cap and we don't need to take it unless we have an incentive to do so. The Toronto guys have finally gotten around to offering us a second with him in exchange for Future Considerations -- don't get them all excited.</div></div>

That would be criminally low - gifting a 2nd with a player who is already better than almost any player on your blueline at the moment is silly. Comparisons to other cap dumps need not apply - the Leafs aren't THAT pressed to move him, but would benefit more from moving him than a lot of other cap dumps we have seen this summer.

Muzzin gets a 3rd back NO PROBLEM. That being said, he probably won't waive to dwell in the bottom of the Pacific, nor will he really waive at all. I think the more apt comment would be that Leafs fans have finally realized that if Muzzin moves, it's next summer.
