McCann would be a better fit at 3C then Kerfoot is..

Dubas failed.
- PatC80

Which is unfortunate cause now simpletons like max have some ammo to load into the cannon and we get to hear about it all summer long.

Honestly all the leaks really ruined the expansion draft. Was looking forward to following it now it's just a big letdown

Forget the 7-3 and 4-4 decision.

You have 3 assets involved in this.

Hallinder, Kerfoot, Mccann

Rank in order which you'd rather have today.
- Santo_44

1- McCann better option at 3C
2- Hallander decent prospect
3- Kerfoot 3.5M cap hit would have been nice to move out

McCann, Kerfoot, Hallander.

Why forget the 7-3-1 aspect, it's kind of the entire point? Easy to prove whatever you want if you're creating your own filters.

It was an expansion draft show...was it really going to be exciting?...for non Kraken fans?

- PatC80

You seriously believe Kerfoot couldn't get more than (frank)ing Halinder?

I think Dubas knows the market and if Kerfoot was that invaluable none of this would be happening.

Wait and see what Dubas does with Kerfoot.

Not exciting maybe, but at least interesting

They should have gone 7-3-1.. Holl better have a great season or it will look worse on Kyle Dubas

I am surprised that's for sure.

But I am shocked of a lot of these moves right now. Seattle is looking pretty garbage.
- Santo_44

That’s what most of us said about Vegas after their draft. Then we called their first season success a fluke and they would miss the playoffs for the foreseeable future.

Hockey fans don’t have a clue. But don’t try to tell them that.

maybe? Maybe not?

We don't know. So, don't pretend like you do

Grab any cheap player you want and fling him up on line 1...they should be fine if the can skate and have a little weight for the board game.
- Garnie

A little weight, he'll need enough for himself and Marner combined.

1- McCann better option at 3C
2- Hallander decent prospect
3- Kerfoot 3.5M cap hit would have been nice to move out
- PatC80

Agreed.
Although, Hallander only became a decent prospect once he was traded to the leafs, once he was traded away, he became a nothing prospect.

They should have gone 7-3-1.. Holl better have a great season or it will look worse on Kyle Dubas
- PatC80

I genuinely do not understand what Dubas has been doing of late. There have been some pretty wasteful decisions made over the past year or so and a lot of them are going against what the numbers suggest. Not a big fan.

McCann, Kerfoot, Hallander.

- joel878

Because 4-4-1 is the reality.

I think there is a strong argument 7-3-1 could have been better. For me I like Holl so I don't mind this.

We aren't going too agree on that so I am forgetting that part.

Seems to me we have middle ground here. Dubas kept Kerfoot and lost Hallander in the expansion draft. You are happier today with losing Hallender over Kerfoot.

Dubas cant move on from his guys.
Its what will potentially sink the ship and him

Here is mine

Mccann
Kerfoot
Hallinder

Dubas can change that based in the Kerfoot return.
- Santo_44

The relevant order is

Holl @ $2M
McCann @$2.6
Kerfoot @ $3.5M

Hallander

- shack67

I definitely didn't say Vegas would be garbage, but I didn't think they were going to the finals.

My memory doesn't recall Vegas passing on any Carey Price or Tarasenko calibre players. Am I wrong there?

I felt like Seattle was (frank)ing this all up the second I read their pricetag to avoid any player was a 1st and 3rd across the board. If that's accurate it's completely neutering their own potential before they even start work. Asinine.

- BINGO!

Bingo.
yes that's you, but you are also correct.

Agreed.

- Fakepartofme

This is false.

I know you have this obsessive hate for Leaf fans but no one has been obsessing over Hallender and no one has been calling him a nothing prospect.

Grab any cheap player you want and fling him up on line 1...they should be fine if the can skate and have a little weight for the board game.
- Garnie

He should also be 11 feet tall so he can accept those passes over the boards.

Because 4-4-1 is the reality.

Not entirely. I would have preferred we work with #1, still have #2 to trade for assets at the expense of #3.

To each their own.

I agree with you. Mccann would have been my pick.

I am happy we have both Holl and Kerfoot today.

I don't want to see Kerfoot a Leaf next season though, I fully expect him to be traded.

89 emails so far this morning.

Gawd, I miss the fax machine.

This is false.

I know you have this obsessive hate for Leaf fans but no one has been obsessing over Hallender and no one has been calling him a nothing prospect.

You really know nothing of the sort....or almost in general.

- joel878

Okay well I am happy we have Holl and Kerfoot.

And I think Leaf fans will be pleasantly surprised with Kerfoot value just like fans were happy with Kapanens return.
