They lost both Oscar Lindberg to the expansion draft and Derek Stepan to trade. I would think there is an opening centre ice for Kerfoot, plus his college teammate Jimmy Vesey is far more enticing. Me guess he is going to NYR. My thoughts too. NYR also only has 12 Fs signed right now so there's the lure of an open spot, where we'll have 16 guys competing for 13 spots once Bo's is signed so he has to compete harder for a spot with us. Thats what will turn him NYRs way imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect he is smart enough to realize he would have a shot. That said he has been back east for 4 years and might like it. Never ceases to amaze me how the NYR attract players. They have been pretty brutal through the Sather era on how they have treated players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are correct in that the players we have now are not in the long term plan but the nucks are committed to them first and foremost and thus dont see how kerfoot would fit in. I agree with those that say NYR is the likely destination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with those that say NYR is the likely destination. It's tough to see where Kerfoot would fit in even next year. I think JB will likely bring the Sedins back for another year. So I don't imagine our group of centers will change too much over the course of the next 2 seasons. Which would leave guys like Kerfoot and Gaudette in Utica and maybe even Pettersson as well in a year. Although I think Pettersson is most likely to end up on the wing. But if I were Kerfoot, I'd probably be picking someone other than us. There's a huge difference between AHL and NHL salary. You'd assume he'd want to go where his chances of getting an NHL salary are highest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hope is that Horvat establishes his line as the 1A and if that is the case and depending on how the Twins play perhaps the TOI resolves itself. IMO the Twins should not be resigned to a rebuilding team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursel23 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Narrowed down to two teams! Sources are saying that the Canadiens are out. Canucks or Rangers... players usually always pick the big apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pick up a knuckle dragger like ferland to protect him anytime. A player like Ferland can also crush a player like Stetcher in 2 seconds, If and when he wants to. ... guess you can always throw in another one to get crushed.. nothing like having those light frames on the IR for half a season,. but hey, you got them signed.

Also, the more competitive your farm team is, the better. I don't see how adding depth hurts the organization in anyway, regardless of Kerfoot's size.

I'm not high on Kerfoot, but (admittedly) I really don't know a lot about him, other than he's older and smallish. But maybe he feels he could beat out Chaput, Gaunce, and Bermistrov and grab that fourth line centre spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know too much about him, but from what I read, he is one of those guys that's not quite gritty or good enough defensively to be a 4th line centre in the NHL (yet). Unless he has a preseason like McCann did a couple of years ago, there's no way he makes the opening lineup. But I think he would thrive in a top 6 role in Utica.

That's a good point and wouldn't surprise me at all. Also, seems like the Rangers always seem to get the top college free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
