Despite Kerfoot scoring a goal and an assist last night he still needs to be traded.

Maybe last night’s performance will impress a team who has been somewhat interested.

Not sure if anyone has suggested Andreas Athanasiou. I haven’t seen him play for a few years but I know he has incredible speed, some size and jam, can kill penalties and scored 30 one year.

Yes I know LAK resigned him this year but that doesn’t mean they would not trade him if we could add an enticement beyond Kerfoot.

Would Ty Voit, Ron Hirvonen or SDA increase their interest?

He has been mentioned before as a cheap add before he had a solid season in LA. LA seems to be going into a more win now mode and iirc they assured Doughty and Kopitar they would.
I would think they would be interested if you added SDA or Hirvonen.
That siad, is AA really much better than Kerfoot for $.8 less and giving up a good prospect? Kerfoot also has one year more on his deal.

I don’t know if AA is better, marginally better or simply on par with Kerfoot.

I agree an add is required so I would give up Hirvonen who I don’t think will make it. I have seen him a bit internationally and yes he has scored clutch goals but I don’t see it came as a result of great talent, more getting some puck luck.

I do the trade only AA is, at worst, marginally better.

But as I said I really haven’t seen him of late.
