Dont want spezza playing Center - still have getting a 2/3 Center as a priority #2 behind a top 4 dman to play the right side. Having Kerfoot and Nylander playing Center the last two playofffs shows how shit our depth is. Rather ship Kerfoot off and use that cap space for that. Centres can always play wing too for the flexibility throughout the lineup

We aren’t fixing goaltending at the deadline with what’s available, so low priority and honestly really hard to evaluate big M with him being injured most the season anyways.

Robertson cannot be pencilled in as a top six winger for a playoff run. Maybe he comes in if we are slumping and goes on a heater - but hasn’t shown that he can consistently play in the nhl yet and been injured most the year to develop into someone we can depend on

Tbh Spezza only takes faceoffs now that Engvall is on his line and that would be the same with Kerfoot on his "wing" in that lineup.

That's why getting Engvall on his line is such a big deal. He's the real Center there.
 
In your lineup you have Kerfoot doing that role and he isn’t good enough at C. Plus playing that much for a bottom 6 winger is kinda meh.

But my concern is lack of depth at C. If any of the top three Cs are injured again - our line up upfront starts to look shaky really fast with K or K having to slide into a top six role if it’s Matthews or JT again.

Same if it’s Brodie that gets injured. It starts to get real bad with Dermott or lilli getting the minutes with Reilly and Holl being the other top 4 with his play over the last year.

We will be able to get someone for only 50 percent of their salary, dubas needs to really take advantage of it this year filling in those two holes in our line up.
 
Don’t really care as a comparable at the moment as the deadline can change things. We are weak in depth at C and our RD could use an upgrade to Holl. If shit goes down, it’s easier to hide an avg/bad winger than a C - rather real depth there.

Kerfoot and Holl's cap could both be better spent with assets and 50 percent retention. Kerfoot particularly getting playing time with JT and Nylander and not really looking that special. You are already pencilling in a rookie that hasn’t looked consistently NHL ready to replace him - that’s enough said.

We have the assets to do it, there are a ton of teams that are out of it already, I trust Dubas to target better this time around… so that’s my wish list :)
 
Hey I'm up for adding a really good C.

But Kerfoot stepped in as the 2C last year and did great.

And we have 6 centers on the roster.
 
I like Kerf fine but I wouldn't call him a viable 2c because of 7 good games vs the Habs. He had a full season of below average play as a 3C. I like Kampf fine tho.. And Engvall is the perfect utlility guy too.
 
Blue in every single category at all strengths. Sweet.

Funny enough on the year so far the weakest part of the team has ended up being....goaltending.
 
Just a reminder
