It was all jokes before but he probably really does have plans to extend him. If he was the super obvious deletion because of his salary and they kept him over Engvall and Sandin (literally - the move implies he’s more valuable than both combined), and as a UFA even, then they likely want him back and it does feel like some weird refusal to take the L on the Kadri trade.Kerfoot has always been the right one to move. When the forward group was healthy, on merit he would be a 4th line winger that we could easily have replaced.
Should have trusted the kids.
Bunting-Matthews-Nylander
Holmberg-Tavares-Marner
Engvall-ROR-Jarnkrok
Lafferty-Kampf-Acciari
and if you just can't bring yourself to trust Holmberg (who has the hands and IQ to not be an offensive anchor with JT and Mitch, but whatever)
Bunting-Matthews-Nylander
Jarnkrok-Tavares-Marner
Engvall-ROR-Acciari
Holmberg/McMann-Kampf-Lafferty
There's no good argument for shoe horning Kerfoot in there...he's not a better middle 6 winger than Engvall or even Acciari and whatever benefit he brings when pushed to the 4th line is minimal and likely easily replaced by Holmberg or McMann. This is such a flop of an evaluation by the organization (an organization that is starting to show itself as habitually making eval mistakes). All of this fucking about...again...to keep a 3.5 million dollar baby shit soft passenger in the lineup. Don't even need him on the PK anymore either with the additions of ROR, Acciari, & Lafferty.
Organization is a laughing stock again. Best avatar change ever.

The funny thing is, they look at us and think we’re fucking idiots who don’t get the game.Most coaches have thia weird fixation on style of play rather than quality of player. A bad player who hits and grinds and shit is better in their eyes than a much better player who doesn't...for reasons
And really the reason is that they get beat by good players who are hard to play against and believe that they lost because hard to play against not because good players
wait who is better than Lilly? I think he's probably already our best all-around d-man.I still think there's a chance he cracks the lineup over Holl but it's still pretty hilarious that their 2nd best d is a bubble guy and fighting for his life with Holl. All while Schenn is a mainstay.
As zeke already said, it's good to see that people are no longer in denial that this was always gonna happen.
coulda dumped ZAR tooZeke just keeps disagreeing that they were over the cap after the McCabe trade for some reason.
I never said they should dump Sandin. They could've dumped Engvall, Kampf, Holl, Kerfoot, any number of guys.
Sandin was the dumbest option.
I was thinking Brodie is maybe better. But it's close, yeah.wait who is better than Lilly? I think he's probably already our best all-around d-man.
Rielly beats him offensively and Brodie does defensively, but not by enough to be tops overall. McCabe is too new to properly evaluate IMO.
