I’m accepting I’m the one missing it, here…but i am still slightly confused on Kerfoot.…and in a ideal world I’d love to spend that $3.5m on someone else….but like…
23 goals, 83pts over last two years, 164gp.
55.08 GF% (venue score adjusted)
52.79 xGF%
54.05 SCF%
54.01 HDCF%
…and as far as I can tell, looks to have been a decent enough contributor on the PK? (plenty of the above > Mitch or Kaampf, but it less TOI).
Are those all “meh” type numbers for $3.5m third liners? (Legit asking).
Would we have easily gotten better on the FA market for that?….(I assuming yes?)…and if so, who are some of the obvious guys we missed out on grabbing with that money for instance.
23 goals in 164 games is kind of terrible from a guy cemented in your middle 6 and getting a decent amount of time with high level offensive players.
242nd in P/60 this season among all forwards. That's very low tier 3rd line production and his nerdies are going to look okay because he doesn't do heavy defensive lifting and is on a very solid nerdies team.
That's kind of my point overall. It's not that he's terrible...it's that he doesn't serve a purpose. He's an okay 3rd line winger who isn't really good at anything other than shot suppression, but isn't good enough defensively to trust him to supress shots against top competition. He's a human swiss army knife. Can do everything okay enough but does nothing actually well.
