Thx for calling your #15 pick Arimov
took me an extra 12.7 secs to find him - it's Amirov

Surprised he was ranked as high as #62...

From last blog because it was a well thought out response...

The first problem is that he's seen as a 3C when he's not a particularly good centre. He has room to grow into it, but it was frustrating to watch his missed assignments and poor backchecking last year.

Kerfoot can skate. He passes better than average. His shot is probably a bit below average.

His problems are that he doesn't hit, in fact he seems to shy away from contact and doesn't get into dirty areas of the ice. We hear all sorts of things about Nylander not going into dirty areas, but he does when it's opportune. The difference between Nylander and Kerfoot is that they are both terrible at dealing with physical play, but Nylander knows when he can do it. Kerfoot seems to just not risk the engagement altogether.

If you're a centre, you need to be engaging along the boards - especially in your own zone if you're pursuit guy - but Kerfoot is not good at that. For the record if they put Nylander as the 3C this year, it'll be the exact same problem.

At the end of the day, the Leafs are a soft team, and Kerfoot is emblematic of that. He's a good player and perhaps with the moves this year, he won't be as visible as a soft player.

Great response and answer to my post Monkey!

Not being sarcastic either. Really explained a few things I wasn't seeing but now recognize.

I’ve got a friend who likes to lose it about the amount of Leafs coverage.


The guy got angrier than a mosquito in a mannequin store about Tavares.

We should trade Marner, Matthews and Tavares for Neal right now. He has to be the best contract in NHL right now. His defensive abilities are impeccable
