Even if Kerfoot was selected in the expansion draft, McCann would have been the replacement. Leafs fan confirmed. I bet the 1st round cough up for Marleau's cap space was brilliant too for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be hard for you to understand because you have your tongue glued to the GM's boot but being critical of a team, their faculty, and their decisions, even if it borders on annoying or inconvenient to some, does not invalidate that fan's passion and concern for their team.

(but that greater value only further underlines my point) spend Hallander (a 2nd) and a 7th on McCann - in order to 'leverage a proper return' on Kerfoot? Again - what do you perceive a #proper-return on Kerfoot to be? If that doesn't help - let me put it this way.... Seattle valued McCann more highly than Kerfoot - clearly. So what return are you expecting on Kerfoot - that would exceed the cost of acquiring McCann? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what return are you expecting on Kerfoot - that would exceed the cost of acquiring McCann? They didn't draft Hallander and it's been 3 years since he's been drafted. His stock isn't very high and we certainly shouldn't count him as valuable asset in this deal, considering he wasn't a valuable asset in the original deal to send him to Toronto. As for the return, it really doesn't matter. It could be a 3rd, it could be a lesser center that comes at lower term and AAV, it could be a prospect, who knows and who cares. The point here is that somebody tried to say Dubas made a blunder by acquiring McCann and losing him, when in fact it was deliberate to protect their roster. If Kerfoot got drafted, they paid a 7th and Hallander to replace him. Pretty tidy business. If McCann got drafted (which he did), they paid a 7th and Hallander to have Seattle leave their roster as is. Again, pretty tidy business. Hope this helps.

wallstreetamigo Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I dont see the McCann trade as a particularly bad move by Dubas. Lots to criticize with that goof but this isnt really one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only sense that the McCann deal made was that they'd have one or the other post expansion - now they're dealing Kerfoot and wadr - you have nothing but pointless noise to offer.

Ok but if they trade Kerfoot now, they essentially moved a 7th and Hallander for whatever that return might be. Pretty good odds they get better value (comparative to the 7th and Hallander) from that as opposed to just losing Kerfoot for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
