One player who has made himself indispensable to the team is Alexander Kerfoot, a bottom-six forward who’s had success with whatever mashup of players he’s put with. That hasn’t always been the case though. When Kerfoot arrived to the Leafs from Colorado, he wasn’t a defensive forward. Though the numbers are only slight, the Leafs have also managed to increase their penalty kill percentage from where they fell to in the 2018-19 season, no doubt thanks to their increase in substantial depth, acquiring Kerfoot and Kampf.
The Leafs won’t have the space to pay Kerfoot more than his current salary of $3.5 million next year while they still have their core four and there are certainly other teams who are going to make better offers to such a valuable two-way player. The 2018 Leafs draft pick has even stepped up to center Kerfoot and since-traded Pierre Engvall a couple of times when lines were mixed around, adjusting well to playing with a new fourth line very often, just like Kerfoot and Kampf.
