Like wtf and you mentioned kerfloot was good for 40-45 pts , and kadri to me is a good player but I’m not as sold as most people are with him , had 2 30 goal seasons prior playing on a top 6 role I think? With all the ppl time with that stacked of a team? I mean I can see him easily going to Colorado and getting 45-50 pts which is basically kerfloots numbers I just don’t get this move at all Some are saying it's prep for the Seattle expansion draft. Barrie would have been the odd man out in every scenario for Colorado. Not sure I buy that though. Seattle really isn't gonna come online until 2021 from everything I've read. 45 minutes ago, Dabura said: I think it was about getting a really good shutdown centerman to play behind MacKinnon. They had no depth at center and now, in theory, they have an outstanding one-two punch at center. Kerfoot is a 24 year old center with similar numbers to Kadri though. Is Kadri's defense really that valuable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never really paid attention, but if Babcock trusted him I imagine there's something to it. I'm still a bit surprised about the return though tbh. Isn't Tyson Barrie pretty darn good himself?

Could be wrong either way if he was a trade chip surely you can get more for a #1 offensive dman, without throwing in 50% paid off and kerfloot who alone will likely be in the same ballpark of points as kadri ,just don’t get it #1 dman like Barrie with the chance for a team to sign him would bring back a hefty return and im sure a nice top prospect with 2c written over them + other assets could have been had , I’m sure Kyle Dubas worked his hacking skills and found some dirt on Joe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I would value Barrie much more than Kadri. He produces more points than Kadri as a Dman... One of the issues I have with Kadri is he wasn't valued as a shutdown center until Babs forced him to be one. Babs is known for his defensive systems. Is Kadri going to carry that with him? Or is he gonna go back to being OG Kadri in Colorado? Personally I value Kadri's defense like I do Helm's (another Babs trained player) and Helm doesn't even player center anymore and I wouldn't miss his D if it were gone (giggity). That said I believe the math freaks love Kadri's defense, and like you, I haven't followed him enough to be truly confident in my immediate opinion. I know even less about Kerfoot TBH. He could be total trash as a defensive center, I honestly don't know. When I think of shuttdown 2C's I think of Kesler, Dubinksy, Couturier, etc... not Kadri. But maybe my opinions need updating. 1 Wheelchairsuperhero reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Seattle expansion group wants offseason 2020, but I believe the NHL head office wants offseason 2021. Not sure why exactly, but it probably has to do with a possible impending lockout/work-stoppage in 2020. That said, I can confirm the Key Arena here in Seattle has been under full construction and remodeling for the past 6 months. They're digging underneath the existing structure to expand the arena, which I heard was supposed to take a long time, but they've been literally working on it like it's the cure for cancer so it may be done relatively soon I''m not sure.

We would be trading for his rights. I have no idea what such a trade would look like, but I would assume a player would be moving out. If not in that trade, another trade. Also, a 26 year old right-handed winger that could potentially be a point per game player, is a little different than the two signings we made yesterday... 1 Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
