Yes, I'm aware of that. He's also meeting with several other teams in the upcoming days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's no Boeser; he's a 5th round pick, so it will likely be tough going for him regardless. Still, a freebe prospect who will probably be better than many of the players in Utica and may end up the 1st or 2nd C. He's a very good playmaker, so he may be able to help out some of the W prospects. Not getting my humour? My humour is that he is signing with Vancouver...even though he's visiting other cities. It's like Troy Stecher, he'll talk to other teams but he WANTS to be a Canuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just seems very unlikely to me... not sure what the attraction would be other than I suppose a bigger chance at minutes, but really? He seems to have links to 1050 Toronto... so maybe there's the answer as to why it seems odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he is trying to gain credibility again by explaining why he wasn't going to sign with the Canucks, even though it doesn't make sense.

I guess he is trying to gain credibility again by explaining why he wasn't going to sign with the Canucks, even though it doesn't make sense. I suspect several "leaning towards" articles, posts, and tweets have been written over the past weeks. Kerfoot seems to have a short list of teams that he's visiting before making his decision. If a writer caught wind of one of the teams on that list, they'd probably consider it evidence enough to write an article saying Kerfoot was "leaning" that way. Or they're just following the cherished hockey journalism tradition of making crap up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 So of the players I mentioned earlier in the thread, Toninato has now signed an ELC with the Avs (2yr, $925K AAV), Byron reportedly has around six teams interested in him (Vancouver isn't among them), and Somerby is still open to signing with NYI (his draft team) but is talking to a few other teams. No indications the Canucks are in on any of these players (other than Kerfoot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 CBJ have signed Doyle Somerby to a two-year ELC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Just realized Blaine Byron and Ben Hutton were teammates during Hutton's last two seasons in Maine. Come on Benning. Work those phones. Byron would be a great consolation prize if Kerfoot goes to New York. Or we could just snag both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utica isn't far from NYC. I would say NYC is an expensive city to live in, but he has a rich dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that max base pay on an ELC is over 900k and max performance bonuses are over 2 Million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
