Kerfoot’s been good.

8 goals playing with Tavares? There are kids playing bantam hockey that could score 8 goals with Tavares and probably bigger than Kerfoot too.

A smart one realizes his mistake and does his best to mitigate the damage.

It doesn't mean he has to trade Barrie and call up Marlies to tank the season.

He could make moves to keep the team in it this year too by moving Barrie, Dermott and Marincin and then flipping those assets for guys that can play right now and with term on their contract too.

Thankfully it seems Dubas doesn’t agree with your opinions.

always gets put on his ass when he gets hit. a concussion waiting to happen.

Kerfoot has almost as many 5v5 points as the best two-way center in hockey Kadri, even though he spent most of the season on the 3rd line. Good player.

Then I want different owners who aren’t going to interfere.
- Steven_Seagull


How is not wanting to throw away a chance to make the playoffs interfering? This idea that a team that is tied for 11th overall in the league is going to give up 9n the season because JFJ doesn’t think they’ll win the Cup is laughable. Of course this team is deeply flawed and is likely to lose in the first round against Boston. But you strive to make the playoffs. Trading picks for a rental would be stupid but trading away D when you don’t have replacements available is not going to happen

Time and time again, you keep going to one bullpoop stat. How about the rest of his garbage game? Can't play C, can't win FOs, plays a soft, small game, can't fight, can't score goals playing with Tavares. Guaranteed Kadri scores way more playing with Tavares. Bad player, bad trade.

Nah, you’re just seeing everything in your anti-Leaf glasses. Take them off for once and be a little more humble, okay?

You're misunderstanding.

Just because they trade Barrie, Dermott and Marincin (for example) doesn't mean they are giving up on the season. It means you are giving up on those particular players who have either failed the team or aren't part of the future plan.

They could just as easily trade those guys and bring in new ones to replace them and give themselves a chance to move forward both this year and the years in the future.

The rest of this season is a formality.

They're 50/50 to make the playoffs, 90/10 losing in the 1st round.

If you've watched how this team plays, they're not going anywhere this year.

So, you're a glass half empty kind of guy

That depends how the glass started.

If it was full a minute ago, it's half empty.
