TOR Acquires Tyson Barrie, Alex Kerfoot from COL for Nazem Kadri, Calle Rosen

I thought this was a win for Colorado, but it looks like I’m in the minority. Sure, the salary retention, but I don’t think Toronto is better.

 

Salary retention on a UFA. Kadri is locked in at a great price. All I see are Leaf fans gloating. He wasted Kadri on a one year guy.

And gave away a 2020 3rd.

 

Kerfoot is a solid player tho, and yonug, but I feel they overvalued Barrie in this trade.

They didn't overvalue him.

 

They just don't need more free wheeling D-Men who aren't great at defense, and they only get him for a year to boot before he can go to UFA.

 

Dubas is making a ton of deals that just look terrible on paper.

Kadri isn't that much better than Kerfoot for what TOR is going to ask him to do. I don't think either team is much better, but I guess it's a win for TOR from just a cap perspective. Barrie could end up with 70+ on that team.

I really love this for the Leafs. They dealt from a position of strength to help with a weakness.

I imagine Kadri will play well in COL and I'll be excited to watch COL this season even more than I was previously.

 

How? They didn't get any better defensively...and they traded a cost controlled Kadri for a year of Barrie....Colorado wins this, easily, since Makar just replaces Barrie and they now have their 2C.

 

Toronto just replaces one riverboat gambler in Gardiner with another.
